This is just letting you know that your are getting close to needing an oil change. Depending on where you take it in, and what kind of filter and fluids, anywhere from about 30-65 bucks I would think

Had oil changed at new place. 2 days later check engine light came on. Hard time starting after I get gas. Checked oil light in car and says I only have 15% oil life left. Could this all be related?

as to 15 % left on oil life they forgot to reset -check oil level and filter [leak]-look under vehicle where oil pan is and check o2 sensors and wiring worker could have hit a wire or connector -have code checked can be 100s of reasons for code most auto stores offer this service for free and if its something like a damaged sensor or wiring in the area the shop was working go back and tell them about it

What is 2B indicator light odyssey 2006

This is alerting you to a need for the 2B service and that is likely an oil and filter change, the 15% means you have that much oil life left before a change of oil is needed.

A wrench appears and 34a I don't know what that means and I don't have the manual, it happen two days ago. I put engine oil because it showed 15% oil.

That wrench is a maintenance minder indicator lettting you know that your oil's service life is at 15%, not that the level or amount is low. Have your oil changed and have the maintenance minder light reset.

What does it mean when the wrench pops up and the message pops up that says oil life 15% on a 2007 Honda Accord SE sedan?

It is probably telling you that the oil needs changing soon. The wrench is telling you it needs service and the 15% is probably stating you have 15% of life in the oil left, with 0% being the oil has to be changed. Most newer cars recommend the oil is changed every 3000 mi or 3 mo.

Spanner light on

My first guess would be that maybe your fuel filter needs replacing and that is causing the spanner light... as for the Oil Life the moment you get a oil change it says 100 % but with use it keeps going down... 15% means its time for an Oil Change... Bad Oil Life is very bad for the engine... As for the engine light there could be many reasons to that like obsruction in fuel canister a fault in Powertrain Control Module... get to a dealership n get an assesment n then post here ;-)

Reset oil life display after oil change?

THIS SHOULD BE IT.
How do I reset the Engine Oil life monitor and how does it work? TO reset To reset the Engine Oil Life monitor do the following:
Reset Oil life in NAV/DIC by (with car running) going to INFO>Oil Life>RESET
Press and HOLD until XXX turns to 100%
How does it work? The oil life monitor is a pretty sophisticated algorithm.

GM "The GM Oil Life System will automatically adjust the oil change interval based on engine characteristics, driving habits and the climate in which the vehicle is operated."

Re-setting service indicator after oil change (no manual)

To reset go to screen where it says the oil life percentage. Have the car off but in the on position. Press the odometer button (same button to get to the oil life screen) in and hold for a while, something like 30 sec or so until it starts flashing...Then let go and push the button again and hold and after like 5 seconds i think it will then display 100% and that's it. Hope this helps you, good luck!
