Why does 'maintenance required' light flash 8 times then out?

Start when the battery load voltage change ... the lack of instantaneous voltage, all right, normal.

that can be a need for an oil change or tune up.. how long have you had it,and how many miles on the van

It normally means you need routine maintenance such oil change

Welcome to FIxYa.com

Oil Change light:

To reset the "CHANGE OIL" light, turn the ignition switch to the run position with the engine off. Fully depress and release the accelerator pedal three times within 5 seconds. The light will flash twice and go out.

Maintenance warning light? MIL? Check engine? Maintenance Required?

You will have to go to Auto Zone to have the code read and then fix the code problem and then clear code with code reader

The vehicle has either reached the mileage necessary for oil change and other maintenance, or whoever performed the last service did not reset the computer.

It just means it time to change your oil. If it has been changed recently and you just want to shut your light off just hold down the trip reset button. While holding it down turn the ignition on but do not start the engine. keep holding the button down for approx. 10 secs. the light should start flashing and then go out. then release the trip reset button and turn the ignition off. and the light will be reset.

this is just your maintence minder. the reset procedure should be in your owners manual. the vehicle calculates when its due for an oil change and turns the light on but it should be reset every oil change if its on or not. you can can your local acura/honda dealer and they can explain how to reset

its to let you know that its almost time to change your oil. it will stay on when the car has reached 5000 miles since your last oil change or since the light was last reset.

hold down the trip button. turn the key on. wait until it goes off .

Change your oil, and reset the light. With the ignition off, hold down your trip reset button, turn the ignition on, car off, until the maintenance light blinks, then it is reset.
