Resetting check engine light 2002 Honda Accord?
Last week I had a tail light out and was checking fuses before I tried switching bulbs. When I pulled a 10 amp fuse the dash display went black. The fuse was ok, so I put it back in. But after I put it back the check engine light stayed on and has been lit since. Is there really a problem with the exhaust system or is there a way to reset the display?

Well the person above me is describing how to reset the maintence light not the check engine light and as far as taking your car to auto zone for a free check do not do that either Auto zone does have a dtc pad but it does not work with Hondas interactive network and is not designed just for Hondas it is just a generic pad that works on all vehicles Auto zone can reset the engine light but there pad cannot excactly tell you why the light is on. The only way to figure out excactly why the light is on is to take it to a Honda dealer they will charge you between 40 and 50 dollars for a diagnostics charge but there pad will open the ecm and send a signal to it to tell it excactly what is wrong and why the light is on

To reset the maintenance required indicator, proceed as follows: Start with key in, ignition in the Off position. Press and hold instrument panel "Select/Reset" button. Continue holding Select/Reset button, then turn ignition On. (position marked as "II", not accessory, which is marked as "I". You want it in the same position as when the car is running, except without starting the car.) Release button when lamp turns off. This should take approximately 10 seconds. Start car to check that light goes off.

if you had the serviced for the check engine light . The person that did the work should have reset it for you. If not , take it back and have them do it. if you did the work yourself , take it to a mechanic and have them do it. good luck

Yes it has to be reset with a code reader or scanner.Stop by a autozone ,checker etc.for free.

the only way to reset it besides using a dtc scanner is to disconnect the negative terminal from the battery for about 15 seconds and reconnect it
