The maintenance required light on my wife's 2004 Hond Pilot is blinking 10 times when she turn on the ignition. It started doing this after I put in new plugs and an oil change. What does it mean. I already know how to reset it.

Maintenance required light is on

If you take your civic into a Honda dealer for regular maintenance they should reset it for you. Even most Lube shops do as well. But if you do your own vehicle services like oil changes (which is what that light is there for) then here's how you can reset it.

  1. put your key in the ignition but do NOT turn it.
  2. press and hold the Odometer/Trip button.
  3. while holding the Odometer/Trip button, turn the key to the ON position but do NOT start the engine.
  4. As you hold the Odometer/Trip button, after about 10-15 seconds the Maintenance required light should turn itself off.
  5. Once the Maintenance required light is off, turn the key into the off position then release the Odometer/Trip button.
That should do it. Hope this helps

2004 chevy malibu classic

Happens all the time to me. I trigger the Theft System by accident then the car won't start.  try this: Put the key in the ignition. Turn it to the "on" setting,but don't try to start the engine. Let it sit for 10 minutes until the Security light stops blinking and turns off. Take the key out and restart. Warning - don't have your lights, radio,etc on while you do this or the battery may die.
