Post "Maintenance Required" light is on.

Can someone please tell me how to turn off the "maintenance required" light. Is there a button or something? I have a '99TL. Thank you.

Before starting ur car, hold down the reset and trip A or B button i think? Start the car and hold it until the light turns off.

Isn't that kind of like running with the oil light on for two weeks? If you don't know what it means shouldn't you find out?

It is just Acura's way of ripping you off. The light does not mean anything is wrong with your TL.

To turn off the light: just hold the "select" and "reset" button at the same time when you turn your car on. Wait a few seconds and the light will turn off. Trust me, I have a 99TL and I have been doing this forever.
