- How to reset an Element's maintenance light is a short video but I've had many customers in the past come to me very worried about what that yellow "maintenance required" light means. No worries it just goes off every 7500 miles to remind you to perform a particular service depending on your milage, see your owners manual for the service your Element might need.

I watched this video 7500 miles ago and had to look up how to reset that IDIOT light again. As soon as you said "stay dirty" I remembered I was here before. See you in 7500 miles.
😂
Good tip, thanks. I have two elements, one has 395,000 on it. Still a daily driver.
That's really encouraging! I have an 06 with 323,000. It's a daily driver too and I'm hoping to make it a lot farther. So far, so good! It drives really well and I keep up the maintenance :)
314k here, still runs and drives amazing
I got a 2003 with 196k y’all are giving me hope lol. I thought I’d have to look for a replacement very soon.
Now at 413,000 miles! The only thing looking really tired is the drivers seat, it's bad.
I have a 07 element with 271,000 on it right now
How can anyone dislike a video from ETCG, he is out to help and he had never led anyone down the wrong path of repairs and if there were an issue, we would make a video explaining the problem etc.
After sitting in my '05 for 30 minutes with the Actron CP9145 and it telling me there were no faults and no codes to clear BUT still having the maintenance light on.... I found your video. Thank you for your video!!!
Thank you for being back sir! Needed this tip because Honda service didn’t reset it when they serviced my car.
Thank you, this absolutely worked. I’m feeling very accomplished right now!
Love it man, i bought 2006 element last month with 160t miles for $5,500.
Thanks Eric, I just had to do that on my 2003 S2000. I hate it when the dealer forgets to reset the maintenance light.
So easy! Thanks Eric for ALL your Element helpful tips and videos. Appreciated very much.
Yeah. All Hondas/Acuras use the same procedure to reset that light. For most older Hondas/Acuras though, the light won't go out like in the video. You'll need to hold the select/reset button for at least 10 seconds after you turn the key to the "ON" position and then release the button and turn off your car, wait 5 seconds and then turn it back on. It should go out then AND like Eric said, check your owners manual and perform the maintenance that is required. Hope this helps and good luck!
I have two Elements, a 2004 and a 2005. The 05 just went over 300,600 and that light just came on. Thanks for the explanation and how to reset it....
Appreciate this. Ran odbii no codes. Had to switch out clusters because stock gas n temp gauge failed. Changed fuel pump no difference. Wedged cardboard behind gauge cluster harness, no go. But after new cluster did this n now no lights.
Thank you for pointing out that I missed that 2nd "o" in "too". Back on topic, I have seen the disregard for such "maintenance required" lights far too often. A woman came into my shop for an oil change. The car had 30k miles on it and never had an oil change. So much sludge built up in the head that we couldn't add oil. We had to devise a funnel using a plastic drinking straw and add oil THROUGH THE DIPSTICK TUBE!! No matter how many lights come on, people will just keep ignoring them.
I'm at 220,000 and had to come back here again to learn how reset the light!
Thanks again for this video. I watch it twice a year. Hate those maintenance warning lights!!!
Thanks! Quick, easy and to the point
you could try playing with the vtec solenoid... thats what controls the hydraulic valves for the cam. I'm not too sure about it tho. worth some research and a try
Man i like Eric cause his videos are a surprise box,anytime something new,it can or cannot be usefull to you but certainly for others,last he does it cause he likes it,so for me,iam thankfull of his job and what i learn with him =)
Hi Eric, I appreciate your vids. My E idles erratically when I'm at a stop. The engine sounds like it's struggling to remain at normal idle. Any thoughts? Remedies? Thanks, DH
Eric is king of the Elements !!!
Excelent. Good Job. Thanks for your time.
Fast and easy
Thanks lightning Erick
All Done and ready for another 75k
You gotta start doing videos of you doing work on the engine of your Element! I love those K series engines. :)
It works Great. I got an oil change to my Honda Element and the check engine light turned on. I was able to turn it off from the information I got from this video
I want to say that the Honda Elements came with a tent for camping. Kind of like the Pontiac Aztek. But I think maybe that would be where a stock tent would be kept in a Honda Element.
Many cars here in the UK the reset interval is 20,000 miles. So the service light comes on after 20,000 miles and shows 20,000 miles when reset, which according to service book means full service, and 10,000 miles is intermediate service.
I use to dislike Honda 2 years ago and was a real Toyota freak. Love my first Honda, the Element, so damn reliable.
Good video it worked I had all my maintenance done but the engine light stays on i have a Honda element 2004 any tips for that
Ha, mine went on and I'm pretty much right at the mileage that you show on your odometer. Good info - thanks!
Kudos to you Eric, thank you....
ERIC IS THE BEST! WE LOVE YOU ERIC!
Wow!! Your dad must be a fucking GENIUS!!! I'm sure no one else has thought of that!!
Thank you! Honda Elements Rock!
Actually it goes off on factory set service intervals in the manual. You should do all of these.
Hi Eric, thanks very much you save me, cause the Honda was block and then, when i reset it works good.
That also works for my 2006 scion xa Do you think a scion xa is a good car since it is made by toyota . I have heard the toyota has been slacking off on the quilty of work
Thanks
How do you recalibrate/reset the TPMS light?
Thanks Eric... you keep our Eliment going...
Thanks a million I thought something was really wrong with my element after I had checked everything the light was still on....
my renault needed timing belt at 72000. brother inlaw (excact same engine) ignored his service light and belt went. very expensive. if you don't have manual check your model online and do the work.
good to know how to turn it off though. are all cars different or will this work on most
Hi Eric, my 2003 Honda Element has a stubborn check engine light on, I’ve scanned it and it says there’s nothing in he module, any suggestions? Also when in drive and not moving car has a slight rough idle to it and the rpm’s drop slightly. And info will be greatly appreciated sir. Thanks and thanks for the videos of elements you’ve posted, they’ve helped me in other ways
Just did my oil change right now and u save the day!
Thank you !
When you suggest adjust valves .I have 115k on my 03 Element
Thank you! Its helped!
Do you know how to turn off/reset the tpms light on 2008 honda element?
Thanks man, you´re cool. You help to avoid give others our money. Please post how to change the subwoofer and amplifier on a Honda Element 2003. Thanks again.
Thanks, Eric
Love it - thank you!
I don't believe it will reset if your headlights are on. You will need to turn your headlights to the off position
Bradley Allport dude, good reminder. My element wouldn't until I saw this
omega42587 It took me over 10 minutes for figure out why it wouldn't...glad it helped! Cheers!!
Gotta try this! Mine wouldn’t work but I think the lights were on.
This comment saved me from going crazy!
You’re my hero ! 👍
How do I get tpms off or calibrate on 08 ex all it has vsa no tpms button 🤔
Yes you are right!
Your awesome dude!!
Thanks for the quick info, Eric.
OK Eric I have a pretty good question for you I just bought and 03 element from a dealer and we’re only about 2000 miles into the interval but I want to change the oil anyhow all because I don’t know what type of oil they used...blah blah etc. . So anyhow is there a way to reset the service light to make it come on for the next interval in between intervals?
Eric, where is the Honda Odysee transmission rebuild video you promised us??? Are you uploading it soon??? Can't wait to see that!
Thanks so much for your awesome information!
Our 06 Corolla also has this handy feature.
Dude you are the MF'in MAC DADDY!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I've been sweating over why that light was still on after my oil change. It was So Simple after watching your video. Thanks.
Nice, handy if you car is serviced more often, as lovers of cars often do, and you just want to switch it off. (where is those wire cutters lol )
It works ... thank you!!!
Thank you so much mine came on and I checked everything and it wouldn't go off
Thank you my Guy I appreciate it!!
Can you make a video on "How do I fix a clutch bearing"
Why does the maintenance light flash a few times before I turn on our Element (but didn’t stay on)?
Hi !!!
Help I need your advice
My Honda Element 2004 is driving me crazy.
code P2227 I put new tps new map
And one more that I don’t remember
Still getting the code P2227
Advise please
Thanks ..
For the Element, does the 2003 have a digital mpg/trip/miles till empty/etc. indicator? Thanks.
In the winter my Honda Element 2008 battery gets weak if I do nit use the car daily. Recently I had to charge the battery with a wall plugin charger and then boost to get the car to start. Ever since that something is wrong with the instrument cluster. Triangle with exclamation point, VSA, engine light and TPMS lights are all on and the tach & speedometer gauges work briefly but then both drop to zero. Other than that the car runs perfectly fine. Cruise control works so the car is detecting the speed, the gauges simply are not displaying it. Ideas for what is wrong and how to fix it?
FIXED: disconnected positive battery cable 30 minutes, reconnected, started car, error lights gone, gauges work, drove fine. BEWARE OF DEALERS: while it was mot working I contacted the local dealer who quoted four hours at $120/hr to fix it. Ripoff artists. Berlin, VT
Thanks buddy👍🙏
Hey Eric, my Honda Element 2007 tpms Light won’t go off, and Honda wants $95.00 just to start
