This'll come in handy for those who do their own oil changes. It
resets that annoying "Maintenace Required" warning light that comes on
at 7,500 miles. Worked on both my 2004 Accord EX and Pilot EX:

1) With engine turned off, press & hold the mileage reset stem on the
speedometer
2) Start engine
3) Wait 10 - 20 secs until light goes off
4) Release the reset stem

Done!

I wonder how long it will be before someone asks this newsgroup how to turn
off the Maintenance Required light. People who don't read the manual will
probably not look for anything in this group but will just post the
question.

,idea's and solutions.

If you're going to read the answer here, why not save the electrons an
untimely and possibly ugly death and read the Owners Manual first?

Some people are like Slinkies -- not really good for
anything, but you still can't help but smile when
you see one tumble down the stairs.
