I had my oil changed a couple of months ago. Is it possible that they forgot to do something to "tell" the on board computer that the oil has been changed? Could it be something that simple?

There's a code stored so go get the codes as to what it sees, T Honda_Civic Novice Sep 11, 2012, 5:54 PM Post #3 of 5 (1336 views) Re: Check engine light Sign In My mistake. I meant to say the "Maintenance Required" light comes on. nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Sep 11, 2012, 6:28 PM Post #4 of 5 (1332 views) Re: Check engine light Sign In very well could be the oil reset wasn't done. Check with the local parts store as most will scan codes for free. If no codes present just swing into the place that did the service and ask them to reset it.

It's easy to just reset yourself. Turn off the engine. Press and hold the Select/Reset button in the instrument panel, then turn the ignition switch ON (Position II). Hold the button for at least 10 seconds, until the indicator resets. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
