Maintenance Required Light not disappearing in my Honda Accord Hybrid 2005 even after resetting many times?
I've a Honda Accord 2005 Hybrid and I got a "Maintenance Required" blinking for about 15 seconds everytime I started the car. I did an oil change from a mechanic shop and later I observed that the light still appeared. So I checked online and found how I should reset it
But even after I did that for 5 times, it still appears. I showed the issue to the Walmart Mechanics and they said that since the light doesn't stay after 15 or 20 seconds, it doesn't matter.
Should I take his advice or should I show it to another mechanic?
Added (1). JetDoc- I do get all these lights flashing when the key is at number 2 position when the battery is On and engine is still at off… When we start the engine, then all these lights do disappear but this "maint rqd" light alone keeps blinking for upto 15 seconds… While other lights are shut off
You should have all sorts of "idiot" lights flashing on your instrument panel when you first start the car. That's a NORMAL test mode to show you that all the lights are working. If they all go off within a few seconds of starting the engine, then no worries. It's only when the warning lights stay on while driving that you MAY have a problem. When in doubt, READ the owner's manual.
Get a scanner and read any codes.

- What should i do if a Maintenance Required light comes on on my new honda civic with 10,000 miles? I called honda service and they said the required service with a 10,000 miles would about $200.00 and i think i'm getting ripped off.

- Check engine light not going off on my 97 Honda Civic even after fixing problem? Cranking and starting my Civic made the check engine light come on and sputter and idle real bad. Figured it might be a bad fuel filter so I changed the thing and now it runs smoothly again but that check engine light is still on. Can there still a problem? Do i need to reset something to make the light go off?
