The Honda Accord is a great commuter car. With a bit of routine maintenance
, this car can last up to 300,000 miles! The maintenance light, however, seems to have a mind of its own at certain times. The problem may be a bad sensor, but sometimes, your mechanic simply forgets to reset it.
To reset the maintenance light on a 1999 Honda Accord, follow these instructions:
Turn the key to the on position.
Hold the select/reset button on the instrument cluster for about 5–10 seconds.
The flashing maintenance required indicator should disappear.
If the maintenance light continues to come on even after the reset, you may need to take your car to the mechanic. This usually indicates that you need an oil change, a tuneup, or other maintenance that you shouldn’t ignore.
