Resetting the Maintenance Minder Acura TSX II

Note. The vehicle must be stopped to reset the Maintenance Minder. If a required service is done and the Maintenance Minder is not reset, or if the Maintenance Minder is reset without doing the service, the system will not show the proper maintenance timing. This can lead to serious mechanical problems because there will be no accurate record of when the required maintenance is needed. The engine oil life and maintenance item(s) can be independently reset with the HDS.
