If I remember correctly, on the dash you have a select button. Hold the button down then turn the key on, until the maintenance light blinks and goes out. Turn the key off then back on and your light should be out.

You need a code reader to reset the light or you can disconnect the negative battery cable for a few minutes to clear the computer memory. The only problem with the latter solution is that you will need to reprogram your radio presets and your clock.

Civic, Prelude, and Acura (Honda) Integra maintenance light reset.
On the typical Honda gauge layout, there is a small, rectangular, recessed button directly to the left of the "Maintenance Required" light. Using a key, you can press this button in, With the key off, hold down the trip meter reset button. turn the key on and continue holding the reset button in until the maintenance light goes off, about 10 seconds. which will cause the light to turn green. The maintenance light (at least on Civic) will come on about every 4000 miles if not reset (for oil changes), and also periodically for other scheduled maintenance.

I have 2007 honda civic and need to reset the service light?
  1. Edit Step 15 ¶ When it's time to change the oilin your Civic, the maintenance light (orange wrench) will appear on your dash, as well as a B1 message, showing an oil life of 15% or less. To reset the Oil Life % gauge, press and hold the SEL/RESET button for about 10 seconds until the Oil Life message begins to flash.

I have a 2005 honda civic and the maintenance light came on, is that an oil change indicator ?
No, it's not for the oil change. Get a automotive electrician to connect to the car's computer to see what error it will return to know what needs a fix.

NEEDS MAINTENANCE light on at 46,666 miles
The light comes on at fairly short intervals ... even to let you know that you need an oil change. The mileage at which it comes on will depend on when it was reset last time. Here's a link to Yahoo Answers to turn the light off yourself.
