Maintenance Required Light started blinking....
I've just noticed today that the Maintenance light blinked for way longer than after the car was turned on. I lowered the car today, and it has around 45K miles. I want to take it to the dealership so they can find out what is causing it.
My question is that would it be covered under the warranty?
I've heard that on the Accord, the light stay on until you have to take it to the dealership and pay them just so they could just unplug some wires....

Well, the light came on again. I tried to do to reset it several time yet it doesn't go away.
I did my oil change prior to it hitting 50K miles just a month ago and it came on last week. Perhaps you can only do the reset function once?

make sure your doing it right. hold both buttons in, THEN while holding them in turn the KEY to the RUN position the position right before the car cranks over(you dont have to start it). hold bot buttons in till the light goes off (about 10 seconds)

you did it wrong, you pushed in the buttons AFTER you turned the key. you have to push them in BEFORE you turn the key. it makes a difference how you do it
