Are you thinking that the light should just go off automatically once the maintenance is done? Don’t give the car that much credit. All the computer does is keep track of operating conditions since the light was last reset. It has no idea whatsoever what is actually going on with the maintenance items.

So if you have just gotten the car up to date on all of the maintenance then you need to look in the manual for how to reset it.

You also want to find out exactly what the light is programmed to keep track of. Lots of people here have Hondas and can probably tell you. Often its just oil changes. But once again - the car doesn’t actually know anything about the oil - only about what the engine has done since the light was last reset.

I don’t own a Honda, but are you sure it is only a maintenance light, and not a check engine light that has set a code or codes that need to be read and attended to?
