Default Maintenance light is on! How to RESET?

Before i get bashed on SEARCH.. i DID.. and nothing came up!!!

So, my light came on today and is on... my car is running PERFECT, all the fluids/everything is filed up and i got about only 49kmiles...

did the car spot something wrong ??? or is this just acuras way of saying "hey come bring me in sucker so we can make some $$"

Also, is there a way to reset this annoying light.

Thanks in advance.

There is a button under the dash by your right knee.

when you turn the ignition on, and the maintenance light comes on, reach under the dash on the right side and press the button for about 10 seconds. The light will go off.

I just put a little piece of electrical tape over the light and not worry about it.

As you will notice, it will be very difficult to post a serious topic without someone being a smart-***. Welcome to H-T!

It's not a check engine light, it's a "maintenance required" light. It means nothing, just that it might be time for an oil change or you forgot to reset the light last time.
