The maintenance required light on my 99 tl flashes ten times whenever I turn the car on. Any ideas?

 

Means service is due. In awhile the light will stay on.

 

its a oil change reminder/mileage counter since last reset- by driver or oil change place
at 6000 it starts blinking, 7000 gets more insistant- 7500 stays on all the time
until you reset

put key in ignition
put left hand THRU the top of steering wheel
with left hand push and hold BOTH trip buttons in
with right hand turn key to ON-= not start-- just on-- so dash lights up
mait light will blink 10 seconds and go off
turn key off and remove hands
Its reset!

Now go change the oil~ we use 5w-30, any brand you like 5 qts with a new filter

 

i just got my oil changed about 500 miles ago though. so did they maybe just not reset it?

 

Yea, they didn't reset it for you. No biggie.

 

quickie place wont know how
the thing ONLY counts miles- has no idea of the oil level or condition or anything else--just miles since last counter reset
(kms for our Canadian ziners)

look at the dipstick to be sure its clean new oil,,,,and reset

 

Altight thanks. I get it done at the honda dealership and they've never forgot before but i'll just check and reset

 

Mines been on for like 6 months every time i go to reset it i mess up the timing and i give up...i know its easy as hell...I've done my own oil changes for years i just got lazy this time about the light
