It means you should look in your owners manual to find the answer.
See a garage and get them to read the codes. They will tell you what is likely wrong with it. Read the owners manual and check what the maintenance light means per the mileage on your car. If your car is still under warranty, take it to the dealer.
Two separate lights that have come on by coincidence. Maintenance light means you are due for an oil change. The other is an OBD II code.
It could mean one of a thousand things
Go by a auto parts and have them pull up the codes on it, they do it for free.
It means you need to drive to an auto parts store and have them read the codes stored in the computer to find out what's wrong!
The check engine light means check the engine. That isn't argue or stare at a piece of machinery. The device called an OBD2 code reader will pull the codes from the car's computer for you and the the definition of each code shows what has malfunctioned. The Maintenance light means it's time to get the oil changed again. This coincidence that both lights came on at the same time is just a rare thing. Since you don't have a code reader, have the codes pulled free at a car part store. The dealer would charge you $50-$100 just to do that. The codes don't always mean something blew out or broke, but most often means conditions are not right associated with certain parts or systems. Good luck and Merry Christmas.
Get yourself a code reader so you can pull the codes the next time your light comes on 50,000 miles from now because you forgot to put the gas cap back on, or to pull codes on your friend's little POS Ford every couple of months when her light comes on.

What do you think it can mean? It most definitely means one of dozens of possible problems or failures occurring under the hood of your vehicle. Go have the codes read, you'd know within minutes.

- Check engine light, open door light, and batterie light all came on and won't go off? 2000 Honda Odyssey I already had the altinator replaced it a month old. The batterie almost a year old. Would the belt need be changed or something else?
- Did you know that Philippines is so poor that if you own a car people will think you're rich? I live in the Philippines and I own a 2013 Honda Fit and I sometimes drive it when I go to the University, it's not even expensive. And my friends think I'm rich. Most people here only use underbone motorcycles for transportation, most families don't even own a car.
- What does the check engine light diagnoser mean by Vtech? I drive a Honda Civic with a Vtech engine. The check engine light came on and a diagnosis was run. it did read "Vtech" and no other issues were found.
- Check engine light turns on for a few days and then turns off for weeks/months? Code P0420 on a 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid? Over the last year my check engine light has come on about 3 or 4 times for a few days at a time and then turns off again for a very long period of time. I know the code means my catalytic converter is below threshold but why would it turn off? Could it be something else? Should I look into replacing it or wait it out? Any advice is appreciated!
