It is a service check. It means something is wrong and needs to be checked. You need to take it to a dealer or to a auto part store to have a free module check to see if it finds anything. What you do after that is up to you. I would take to get it fixed.

SOURCE: Hello What does it mean when a wrench shows up on

The wrench indicates that the control system has determined there is a fault somewhere in the transmission system. This fault may or may not induce limp home mode, as is true of any issue with the engine or transmission, but should be checked by a trained professional as soon as possible.

Testimonial: "Thank you. I will pass it along to my husband."

SOURCE: an orange wrench symbol has

Doing some checking this is an issue with the HV battery and its normal operating temperature range where the temperature range is exceeded or an issue with the HVBT climate control system having a failure. You will need to take this to the dealer and have them run codes and to look at the temperature blend door actuator as well.

2006 honda accord inertia switch location

All sorts of answers here, bad battery / immobiliser / keys need programming / caused by towing.
https://mechanics.stackexchange.com/questions/5847/2006-honda-civic-ex-green-key-light-on-dash

This;
The flashing green key is your immobilizer indicator. My recommendation (I am a certified honda tech) is take it to your local acura dealer and have them do a hard reset of the immobilizer and reprogram your keys.

It could also be a bad immobilizer itself. If it is a bad immobilizer, the tech will be able to tell through the diagnostic system used to program keys.

Wrench symbol comes on

When asking questions, we need specific information PLEASE! It's like asking a friend "I need wood from the hardware shop. Can you go and get some?" What size, shape, type, length?
Usually, if a light comes on a dash, it means that it needs repair. Commodores in Australia (2 door models Imported to America as Chevy's) show a wrench when the next service is due.

Sign of car with key warning light on dash

Here is a fix >

Security and Immobilizer System Indicator Symbols Symbols & Tell-tales
engine_immobilizer.gifsecurity_indicator_symbol.gifThese are Security and/or Immobilizer System Indicator symbols used by manufacturers. One of these symbols lights momentarily to indicate that the ignition switch is locked and will need the proper transponder-equipped key to re-start. The vehicle is immobilized otherwise. Green symbols will flash when the vehicle is immobilized.
lock.gifIf the symbol is visible when the vehicle is on, it indicates a malfunction in the security system. If the engine does not start with the correct key, and the security indicator remains on, the system may have a malfunction. You will need to contact your dealer in either case.
Keep the Symbol meanings with you!

Wrench light is on and odometer shows negative mileage

The negative number means the car should have had it's oil changed that many miles ago. Oil life starts at 100% for new oil & counts down every 10%. At 15% the display will always show, which means it's near time to change the oil.

usersteve83, your oil may have been changed but the timer not reset. Reset the timer as shown...
1. Turn ignition to the "ON" position. (do not start engine)
2. Press SEL/RESET repeatedly until the oil life indicator is displayed.
3. Press & hold the SEL/RESET for about 10 seconds until it blinks then let go of the button.
4. Press the SEL/RESET again for about 5 seconds or until the oil life indicator resets to 100%.

Wrench = Maintenance Minder: Symbol letter & number...
Symbol A - Relace engine oil.
Symbol B - Replace engine oil & filter, Inspect front & rear brakes, Check parking brake adjustment, Visually inpest the tie rods, suspension components,driveshaft boots, brake hoses & line (including ABS), all fluid levels & their conditions, exhaust system, fuel lines & connections.
