the maintenance required light means you probably need an oil change you have to hold the two buttons to the right of the steering wheel(trip n select) with your left hand then turn the car 3 click over(with your right hand) until it goes away

Possible causes
- Low engine oil pressure or level
- Open or short circuit condition
- Faulty VTEC oil pressure switch
- Faulty VTEC solenoid


Check engine oil to see if low, if low add oil!

Yea i knew What the codes was.. but we checked the oil.. its high.. i kno ots a bad shift solenoid on the transmission... or either the oil pressure switch... but i guess only thing to do is have a shop look at each solenoid... which is going to be a pain in the ass.. but oh well!!!
