The vehicle's Owners Manual would explain how to do that. But, if you don't
have it at your disposal, is there a small slot on the instrument cluster
(about the size of the end of your ignition key)? If so, insert the end of
the key in that slot, and the colour will change back to green. This may
work for you, I'm not sure when Honda went from this method to the lights.

Thanks. Maintenance has been maintaing by me. I have owners manual, but I
have changed everything myself. The only other thing is the timing belt but
it is due at 108k miles and I am at 76k. However, I will change that real
soon anyway.

Thanks

Oh well, there is no slot to speak of. I will have to think of something
else.

Funny. But that's not how my 2000 Accord owner's manual explains it.

You mean, something else other than reading your owner's manual?

Wow, you really want to avoid that owner's manual thing, don't you.

You have the owner's manual, but you come here to find out how to reset
the maintenance required light.

You are a ****ing loser idiot.
