Updated: Jul 22, 2021

What is a Honda Maintenance Minder Codes

A Honda Maintenance Minder tells you when your Honda needs a service and what the service is for. Below is a list of the Messages, Main Items, and Sub Items and what they all mean.


Messages

Oil Life

• 15% means service is due soon. Plan to take vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.


• 5% Means service is due now. Take vehicle in now for scheduled maintenance as soon as possible.


• 0% Means service is past due (Milage past due is also shown). Service is overdue. Take vehicle in now for scheduled maintenance.


• A negative percentage is telling you how many miles your vehicle is overdue. For example -20% means you are 20 miles past due for the required service.


Below is an image of what the oil change percentage display looks like on on the dashboard.

Maintenance Main Items

A - Means to replace just engine oil.


• B - Means to replace engine oil and oil filter. Also inspect various systems and components (see applicable service manual for details).


Maintenance Sub-Items

1. Rotate tires, and check tire pressure and condition.

2. Replace air cleaner element, check drive belt, and replace dust and pollen filter.

3. Replace transmission fluid and transfer fluid (if equipped)

4. Replace spark plugs, replace timing belt (if equipped), inspect water pump and inspect valve clearance.

Below is an example of what the maintenance minder looks like on the dashboard. For example the image has an "A" for the maintenance minder and "3" for the sub maintenance minder. This means the vehicle needs its oil changed and transmission & transfer fluid changed (if equipped)

Below is a good cheat sheet to go by with all Honda Maintenance Minders listed along with what they all mean and what to do about them. Some trim levels and Canadian models have additional maintenance numbers and letters. For instance... "0" is for Canadian models and means to replace the engine oil and filter. This just takes the place of the "B" minder for American models. "7" is only applicable to some Honda models and means to replace the brake fluid. "9" is also for Canadian models and is telling you to service the front and rear brakes.
