Maintenance info

[Jamie-r90]

Hi, I recently bought a 2014 civic and when going into the maintenance info is show "----" in place of oil life and other symbols. When trying to reset it displays, unable to perform reset. Anyone had this issue and how was it resolved?

That usually happens when there’s a problem with the maintenance minder system. Could be a software glitch or a sensor issue. Try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and reconnect — that can sometimes reset it. If not, a dealer or mechanic might need to check it with a scan tool.

Hi! This issue usually happens when the Maintenance Minder system isn’t receiving the correct data, often due to a fuse problem, battery disconnect, or a software glitch in the cluster. You can start by checking the fuses tied to the instrument cluster or gauge control module, since a blown fuse can cause the display to show ----. Sometimes disconnecting the battery for about 10–15 minutes can help reset the system. If the vehicle was recently serviced, it may simply need a proper reset using a diagnostic scan tool. It’s also a good idea to scan for any error codes, as a faulty sensor can block the oil life reset function. If none of those steps fix it, a Honda dealer may need to reprogram the gauge control module, which has been a known solution for some 2014 Civics. Hope this helps, and let us know what works for you!
