How to Clear a Service Engine in an Acura

Your Acura generates and stores fault codes whenever there is a problem with a solenoid, valve or sensor. This will show up on your instrument panel as "Service Engine" or other warning light. Once you have the codes checked and the vehicle serviced by a qualified mechanic, you need to clear the codes. Usually the mechanic can and will do this, but not always. Not only is it annoying to have the light remain on your instrument panel, it is also bad for the vehicles computer, which may not able to keep track of when your next servicing is due. You dont need any special tools to clear the service engine light on your Acura. Its a relatively easy fix.

Instructions

1

Put the key into the ignition and turn the engine to the "off" position on your Acura.

2

Find the reset button on the odometer located on the instrument panel. Press and hold this button while simultaneously turning the key in the ignition to the on or "II" position.

3

Hold the button for about 10 to 15 seconds, then release it. The "service engine soon" light will go out.

4

Turn off the vehicle, then turn the engine on. Verify that the "service engine soon" light is still off.
