Honda Maintenance Minder Codes in Elk Grove, CA

Honda vehicles are built with reliability in mind, so it’s no wonder the Maintenance Minder system makes it even easier to keep your vehicle in peak condition. Older systems schedule service based on miles driven or time between services, but the Maintenance Minder system takes cues from the vehicle to let you know what it needs. This system takes cues from how you drive, the conditions in which you drive, and even the weather to let you know what your Honda needs and when.

One thing the Maintenance Minder does is track your engine oil’s life by percentages starting from 100%. By the time you get down to 15%, a dashboard light will pop up to let you know it’s time for an oil change. There may also be a wrench icon accompanied by letters and numbers – and knowing what these codes mean will let you know what maintenance services your vehicle needs. Check out our user-friendly guide to help translate these codes.
