Default Damnit, and it's Friday. (Maint Required Light)

I hopped in the car to run out and get some tequila when it struck. As soon as I turned the ignition the orange MAINTENANCE REQUIRED light came on immediatly and blinked 10 times before shutting off.

I turned the car off, turned it back on, same thing. I drove around the block, turned it off, back on, same senario.

Any suggestions, know what's up with the ten blinks before vanishing? Thanks guys.

My fun has been :blocked:

It just a reminder that its time to do maintenance for your car. It does not indicate that anything is wrong. What you should be more worried about is the check engine light. In order to reset the maintenance required light there is a button thats right underneath the drivers side dash on the right hand side. You turn your key to the on position and press and hold this button till it turns off.

This topic has been covered a buncha times, try doing a search for more elaborate details.

Isn't that thing a bitch? The first time you see it, you flip out cause it's scary to have lights blink on your dash

No worries man, and Ant's advice is right....

Hahahahahahahaha, ok, that was a good laugh. Sorry, everything's cool!! Acura decided to bless us Integra owners with a built-in reminder to do our oil changes. To reset it, reach your right hand down on the right hand side of the steering wheel to underneath the dash.

Good laugh, eh? I'm coming from the world of $75.00 a pop "maintenance required" lights... that's right, Volkswagen.

A pleasure the Honda maintenance light is just a minor reminder.
