Maintenance Required Indicator Doesn't Reset

APPLIES TO:
2001-03 Civics, 2002-03 Civic Sis, 2003 Civic Hybrids, 2002-03 CR-Vs, and 2003 Elements.

SERVICE TIP:
Are customers complaining that they can't reset the maintenance required indicator (MAINT REQ'D) on the instrument panel? Find out if the headlights, parking lights, or both were turned on when they tried to reset it. The maintenance required indicator can't be reset if any of these lights are on. In fact, some aftermarket daytime running light devices designed to turn on the headlights, parking lights, or both as soon as you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), must be disabled before the indicator can be reset.
