i know this automatically comes on at different mileage intervals. my car has 35k on it and the light has been flashing when i start the car for the last couple thousand miles.

but last sunday the light started coming on and staying lit the whole time i drive.

is this still normal


i know, i need to get in to the dealer :o

 

Please read the manual. Before reaching 7,500 miles (from the last time it was reset) it will start to blinking. When it gets to 7,500 it will remain on.

 

hehe... you're fine... just reset the light and you're good to go.

 

can i reset the light?


and cut me some slack on the manual, i lost it

 

a-cl is my manual

 

was it too heavy to take to the dragstrip?

 

You might be due for an oil change. The acura dealer is supposed to reset it after doing an oil change. Sometimes they forget

 

damn, you're good :o

My light just started to flash at 6K miles. Even though I had an oil change already, I'm resetting mine tonight.

 

To reset:

press and hold the "select" and "reset" button.

Turn the key to "on" position while holding the button until the "maint. req" light go off. I takes around ten seconds.


I know this because it just came on for me at 17,000 miles, and the dealer told me to go ahead and reset it. Getting everything done on my next oil change..

 

thanks
