03 Pilot - help with blinking Maintenance light

[roomservicetaco]

I have an '03 Pilot. Recently, when the ignition is turned on, the Maintenance Required light blinks 10 times, then goes off.

I had the brakes, rotors, and brake fluid replaced a few weeks ago. In response to the Maint Req light blinking, I had the oil changed. Still, the light blinks.

Took the car to Autozone, who hooked up the ODB code reader, but it reported no diagnostic codes.

Anyone know why the light is on or how I can diagnose what the issue is?

Thanks.

That's a reminder to get the car serviced. Since wifey has car right now, check your owners manual.

AFAI recall, turn key to 2, press and hold odometer reset button for about ten secs or so and light will stop flashing

Right, it is mileage based and needs to be manually reset when a service is done.

Thanks. That could be it, as it hit 80k miles around the same time the light came on.

Do you know what maint is required at that milage level?

[jl_ss]

Well, none. Service is in 7,500 mile intervals for a 2003. However, it will be 7,500 miles from when it was reset, so yours may have been reset between maintenance schedule intervals. The maintenance schedule is in your owners manual.

It's just basically an idiot telling you to change your oil. There's no science behind that light as with 2006+ models. No need to lose sleep over it.

Thanks. All maintenance items from the owner's manual are up to date, so will ignore and try rocky's tip to get it to stop blinking.
