Maintenance Minder General Information - Multi-Information Display




Maintenance Minder(TM) General Information - Multi-Information Display

Maintenance Display (Models With Navigation System)

The Maintenance Minder is an important feature of the multi-information display . Based on engine and transmission operating conditions, and accumulated engine revolutions, the Ridgeline's onboard computer (PCM) calculates the remaining engine oil and the transmission fluid life. The system also displays the remaining engine oil life along with the code(s) for other scheduled maintenance items needing service.






Service Information

1. The remaining engine oil life (A) is shown as a percentage on the multi-information display.

To see the current engine oil life, turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then push and release the SEL/RESET button repeatedly until the engine oil life displays.






2. When the ignition switch is ON (II), and the remaining engine oil life is 15% to 6 %, the remaining engine oil life and other scheduled maintenance item(s) needing service are displayed.

The maintenance system message "SERVICE DUE SOON" (A) also comes on.

To cancel the message, press the INFO button. The display continues to show the remaining engine oil life and the message indicator (B) until it is reset.

- Complete list of maintenance main items (C).
- Complete list of maintenance sub items (D).





3. When the ignition switch is ON (II), and the remaining engine oil life is 5 % to 1%, the maintenance system message "SERVICE DUE NOW" is displayed along with the same maintenance item code(s). If the maintenance system message display is canceled, a "SERVICES" message appears.






4. When the ignition switch is ON (II), and the remaining engine oil life is 0 %, the maintenance system message "SERVICE PAST DUE" is displayed along with the same maintenance item code(s).






5. If the indicated maintenance is not done, the "SERVICE PAST DUE" message shows a negative distance traveled, for example "-10 mi" on the display.

If the negative distance traveled is between 0 and -9, the massage is displayed for only a few seconds when the ignition switch is turned to ON (II). The negative distance traveled (A) remains displayed after the vehicle is driven more than 10 miles (for USA models) or 10 km (for Canada models) after 0 % oil life is reached, and the display cannot be canceled.

This means the indicated maintenance item(s) should have been done more than 10 miles (or 10 km) ago.






Resetting the Maintenance Information Display

NOTE:

- The vehicle must be stopped to reset the display.
- If a required service is done and the display is not reset, or if the maintenance display 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 the maintenance item(s) can be independently reset with the HDS.

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

2. If system message(s) are displayed, press the INFO button to cancel the display.

3. Push the SEL/RESET button repeatedly until the engine oil life indicator is displayed.

4. Press and hold the SEL/RESET button for about 10 seconds, the "MAINTENANCE RESET" mode display appears.

NOTE:

- If you are resetting the display when the engine oil life is more than 15 %, make sure any maintenance item(s) requiring service are done before resetting the display.
- To cancel the "MAINTENANCE RESET" mode, press the INFO button to select the "CANCEL."





5. To reset the display, press the SEL/RESET button to select "OK." The maintenance item code(s) will disappear, and the engine oil life will reset to "100 %."






Resetting Individual Maintenance Item

1. Connect the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) to the data link connector (DLC).

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the powertrain control module (PCM). If it doesn't communicate, troubleshoot the DLC circuit Testing and Inspection.

4. Select BODY ELECTRICAL with the HDS.

5. Select ADJUSTMENT in the GAUGES with the HDS.

6. Select RESET in the MAINTENANCE MINDER with the HDS.

7. Select the individual maintenance item you wish to reset.
