turn key to accesory feel under the lower plastic dash pannel (about 4-8 inches beside your cd player) on the driver side. there is a little square button. press and hold until light either goes out or blinks i cant remember which. let me know if you have any probs.

HELL YEA...THANKS MAN

and what was goin on?

Again...THANKS

it just reset the light sequence it goes off every 15,000 miles i think, I am pretty sure that it is there to let you know when there are scheduled matinence ex 15,30thou mi check up it is nothing major. i always just reset it when it goes off. Another little bit of info if you check below your glove box to the right side there is a little blue harness with 2 wires going in to it (it could possibly be in a rubber green holder) if you take a wire (doesnt matter what kind) and stick it in the 2 holes in the harness if you have a check engin light on it will make that light flash the engin codes. their are 2 types of flashes a long flash=10 and short flash=1. they will pulse so you can get a #. ex 6long and 7 short = code 67 which i think is 2nd O2 sensor. You can get the codes #'s online try superhonda.com or search yahoo. Ever need any other help just IM me.:thinkerg:

Thats a pretty cool trick, whered u you learn it, or is it just common knowledge?

OH...so if i ever get a check engine light, this is how i will check for what codes it is throwing?

THANKS

yes this is how you pull codes. yeah i learned this the hand-me-down way:ylsuper

You need to have your picture (.jpg) uploaded somewhere on webspace or ftp (might i suggest geocities or something to that effect if you dont have your own page), then turn your avatar on and provide the link to the graphic

oh yea, this is under profile options

or there is an option to browse your system, and use pics that you have on your hard drive, but this is where the photo editor comes in...need to make the pic 100x100 pixels
thats what i did...the green gsr to the left is my actual car :)

i am just typing this to see if it works

ok i am really sruggling with this picture thing.:confused:

if it works,it will show up on all previous posts

Yea I dont know what the deal is with that system browser, everytime i tried it, no matter how i changed the name,format,etc. It never worked, so I just uploaded it.

the maintenance required light comes on every 7500 miles to remind you that your due for your 7500 mile service. Yes you can reset it with the little button under the corner of the dash. No thats not the check engine light, that farther up on the dash. The maint. light will not flash trouble codes at you...

I never said that the matinence required light would flash codes i sayed the check engine light will.:bloated:

so kind of maint work needs to be done?

my 97 gsr has just under 53,000 miles...i plan on replacing the timing belt, oil/water pumps, and clutch at 60,000 mi.

Hey i went back thru the posts, i must have misread them. You didnt say it woulld flash DTC's my bad dude.


The maintenance that is due is the 52,500.It's just a oil change and tire rotation.
