Thank you I just use your technique on my Honda accord 2008 after having its brakes done. It came back with it later on and it worked. Thank you so much keep doing what you doing son love like peace and harmony. God bless.
Thanks som much. The symbol came on after I unscrewed the new oil filter because I wasn' t sure I' d put it in correctly. The manual does'nt mention anything about this symbol. I feel calmer now☺️
Thanks that helped so much Because I just had my all changed Back in January and I haven't even reached the recommended amount of mileage driven before the next oil change is due.
Is that based on the mileage on the vehicle that triggers the B1? Or does that car realize that those are parts that need replaced and it can detect it through the system? I am assuming it’s more based on how much miles are on the car versus knowing that they need to be replaced.
Got a question, My oil life was at 5% so I changed the oil and noticed the wrench symbol light on, but didn't know it had like B1, etc. Well, I changed oil and reset oil which took off wrench light, but now I got check engine light for P0301 and 2006 odyssey is shaking and not driving fast. What does this mean and any answers would help, thank you all.
P0301 is a cylinder 1 misfire. You need to have it checked right away as that can damage your engine. That is usually caused by faulty spark plugs or coil packs. You can try to switch the coil packs and see if the error changes if it does then you need to replace the coil packs. If it doesn't then try to switch the spark plugs. Also you mentioned you just changed oil. Please check your oil level and make sure you do not have leak. Also, are you certain you use a 0W-20 oil?
But for my 2011 Odyssey, I had to hold it for Abt 10 secs, then after blink let go, then hold pressed again for 10 more secs (not 5) to reset it. Thanks for this video.
Sel/Reset button to include up and down buttons won't work. Just had routine service done today. But still showing icons and could not reset it as buttons are not working. Please help 🥺
Are you talking about the trip odometer button I pressed on 2:05 to reset? When you are in normal mode, are you able to switch between trip A, trip B and normal odometer reading? If so, just make sure you do the procedure correctly. You need to press and hold the button for at least 10 seconds or until the numbers starts flashing. Then release it and press/hold it again for another 5 seconds. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
Hi! I believe the wrench icon is the same for any cars. My Toyota Corolla also use the wrench icon for maintenance reminder. This is basically just a reminder for Oil Change and there should be a code associated to it or mileage based additional maintenance like tire rotation, inspect hoses and brakes etc. But mainly if you see this you need to change oil.
You mean B1? Below are the Main code and Sub Code for Honda Maintenance Items. B means Replace oil and Filter and doing some inspection. 1 means to rotate tire and check tire pressure and condition If you have more than 1 number i.e. 15 then check for item 1 and item 5. Maintenance Main Items A - Indicates engine oil should be replaced. B - Indicates engine oil and filter should be replaced. Inspections of various systems and components should also be done. See your owner’s manual for additional details. Maintenance Sub Items - Numbers 1 - Rotate tires, verify correct tire pressure and condition. 2 - Replace air cleaner element, inspect drive belt, and replace dust and pollen filter. 3 - Replace transmission fluid and transfer fluid (if equipped). 4 - Replace spark plugs, timing belt (if equipped), inspect water pump, and inspect valve clearance. 5 - Replace engine coolant. 6 - Replace rear differential fluid (if equipped). Notice that A just said OIl change and B includes the Filter change. I recommend to always change your filter even if you only have an A code.
Just reset it. See if it comes back on to tell you that the problem is still there. I believe its mileage based. Lets say i replaced my timing belt at 89,000. Soon as you hit 100,000 the liggt will come on to tell you to replace your timing belt since that is the recommended interval. This is more so a recommended light. Doesnt mean you have to. Probably good to do so. Everyone should do preventive maintenance.
The wrench icon is not the same as the engine light icon. This simply tells you when to replace oil plus the recommended maintenance. And you are correct, this is mileage based. For my Odyssey, it's every 7,000 miles and the code associated with the light switches depending on maintenance recommendation based on the mileage.
If you change the oil but did not reset it will just stay there and the oil percentage will turn to negative number showing you how much mileage elapse since the recommended oil change. It won't hurt anything since you change the oil. It only takes a few seconds to reset so I suggest to reset it after you changed the oil.
@diymanual thanks for the quick response..I drive an 08 Honda civic and I tried doing what the video says but I doesn't work ..Mt oil is good 👍 I guess the way remove the check light only works from that model vehicle
You have to manually reset/clear the code after you change your oil. The reset procedure is at around 2 minute mark of the video. Let me know how it works.
Thank you for reaching out! The B1 oil life notification is just a reminder that your oil and filter needs to be changed. So if you just change your oil you just need to reset the code as it will not reset automatically. Just watch the video to the end as I have shown the steps to reset. Let me know know if you have any other question.
@@diymanualI got the same problem the wrench sign comes up but I do the same , before it’s erased the symbol but not it’s not working anymore like use to it so easy but now no more what do you think is the issue or the problem please reply back Thank you.
Sorry, I just saw this. RUclips is not good on giving alert when there is a new person who comment on another thread. Maybe just try the sequence again there is no magic to it. I assume that you are doing the oil change and not just resetting the codes right?
So the maintenance symbol and b1 oil life 15% came up on mu dash,I drive a 2017 Honda accord.. I bought a quart of oil and topped it up but it still says oil life 15%....do i reset it or is there a problem
Yes you will need to reset the code. Check the video at around 2:15 mark to the end I have shown how to reset the code. Also, you may want to drain and replace the oil. Just topping it up does not really give you a fresh oil so even if you reset it, you still have an old oil in your engine. Check this video I made on oil change without lifting the car if that is what is keeping you from doing the full drain and refill. ruclips.net/video/iWgY1KTAJFI/видео.html
@@diymanual appreciate u man ,thanks...one more thing...about the rotation, does it mean I change the tires around? How does that contribute to oil loss
Sorry, I just saw this. RUclips does not do a good job on showing additional replies. For the tire rotation it depends on the type of your tire. Usually you simply switch front and back then on the next one it will be cross (ie. Front Right to Back Left and Front Left to Back right) it should show it on the owners manual. And no the tire rotation does not contribute to the loss of oil. It is just scheduled maintenance that is good to practice to prolong the life of your tire.
I already had my oil changed, and I follow the instructions my oil life is back at 100%, but when I turn on my car all the lights go on of course including yellow ranch than disappear is this OK
Hi Julie, you probably just did not notice it in the past but all cars do a system check where all lights in the dashboard turns on then it should turn off after 2 or 3 seconds after you put the key in the on position or right after you start the engine.
It was probably not reset the last time an oil change was done. The maintenance minder is mileage base. It does not check or test the oil quality. For my odyssey, it lights up every 7,000 miles. Not sure about the programming in Fit.
Sorry for late reply but A means that you just need to do an oil and filter change. The number is a sub-code (i.e. rotate tires, etc) and may or may not appear with the main code.
A = Replace Engine Oil 5 = Replace Engine Coolant You can check Honda's maintenance site for your exact vehicle model by going here: owners.honda.com/servicemaintenance/minder Hope this helps.
For me the average for oil change is 7500 miles. So if you did a lot of long drive then this will come out sooner. When we did a 3 week cross country road trip in 2019 I changed my oil before we start the road trip then I got the reminder again on our way back because we did about 7,000 miles during that 3 weeks. Also, when you did your oil change last time did you already have the light and did you reset it? If you do not have the reminder yet when you did your oil change then is it possible you may have forgotten to reset it after doing the oil change?
That is symbol code B + 1 + 3 B = Replace Oil and Filter 1 = Rotate Tires 3 = Replace Transmission Fluid Check my other video on how to Replace Transmission Fluid: ruclips.net/video/BUy0V0RevVs/видео.html Oil and Filter Change: ruclips.net/video/iWgY1KTAJFI/видео.html You can check the description of this video on the codes list. Hope this helps.
For everyone who don’t know most of these oil & fluids checks they’ll do at most of the oil changers let’s say valvoline centers they take care of it. Please don’t go spending extra money you don’t need
That is correct. If you bring your car to the shop for oil change they will also reset the code. If you do your own oil change you can follow this procedure to clear it so you don't have to pay someone to do it for you. I doubt that the shop will clear it for free if you do not let them do the oil change unless you have a good relation with them.
There are main item for each letter and number and they are listed in the description. For B code main item will be to replace Oil and Filter. Plus the inspection of the items I've read from the manual. You can do the inspection or you can chose to ignore them but Oil and Filter will need to be replaced.
All the codes is in the description. Basically A is to replace engine oil while B require engine oil and filter replacement. I always replace both when I do it. I guess if you use a premium filter that lasts 20,000 miles you can go with the A and B schedule.
