How to Reset the Service Warning Light on Your Honda Jazz (2008–2015)

Owning a Honda Jazz means reliability and practicality — but like any vehicle, it occasionally reminds us when maintenance is due. The service or “coupon” warning light on the Honda Jazz (2008–2015) is a built-in maintenance indicator that alerts drivers when an oil change or scheduled service is required. Once maintenance is complete, you’ll need to reset this indicator manually. Here’s how to do it quickly and correctly.

🔧 Step-by-Step Guide to Reset the Service Warning Light

Follow these exact steps to reset the maintenance indicator on your Honda Jazz (2008–2015):

1. Close all doors to ensure no warning signals interfere.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position — but do not start the engine.
3. Press the “A” button on the instrument cluster repeatedly until the maintenance information screen appears.
4. Press and hold the “A” button for about 10 seconds, until the maintenance indicator begins flashing.
5. Press the “B” button to select the maintenance item you want to reset.
6. Press “A” again and hold for several seconds until the display resets to “100%” or the light disappears.
7. Turn the ignition off, then back on to confirm the reset was successful.

This process resets the oil-change indicator and clears the maintenance reminder message.

🧰 When to Reset the Maintenance Light

The service reminder typically appears when:

• The engine oil life drops to 15% or less.
• A scheduled service (such as a 12,000-mile inspection) is due.
• The maintenance minder system has detected elapsed time or mileage since last reset.

Reset the light only after completing service — resetting prematurely can cause you to miss important maintenance intervals.

💡 Common Questions About the Honda Jazz Service Light

1. Why does the service light stay on after changing oil?

If the indicator wasn’t manually reset using the instrument buttons, the system still believes maintenance is due. Follow the reset procedure above.

2. Can I drive with the service light on?

Yes, but only briefly. The light itself isn’t dangerous — it’s a reminder. However, ignoring it for too long can lead to delayed oil changes and reduced engine health.

3. What happens if I reset the light without performing service?

You’ll lose track of maintenance intervals. It’s best to service the car first, then reset the indicator to keep accurate records.

🧩 Troubleshooting: When the Light Won’t Reset

If the indicator remains illuminated even after following the steps:

• Ensure you held the “A” button long enough (at least 10 seconds).
• Verify the ignition is in the ON (II) position, not ACC or OFF.
• Try repeating the process from the start.
• If the light persists, the instrument cluster memory may need a diagnostic reset at a Honda service center.

🔍 Pro Tip: Track Oil Life Manually

Even after resetting the indicator, always log the date, mileage, and service type. The Jazz’s system is reliable, but having manual records ensures you don’t miss other critical maintenance such as coolant changes or brake inspections.

🛠️ Tools and Tips for DIY Maintenance

If you maintain your own Honda Jazz, consider having these essentials ready:

• 5W-30 synthetic engine oil (approx. 3.6 L capacity)
• OEM oil filter (Honda 15400-RTA-003)
• 14 mm socket wrench
• Funnel and drain pan
• Service reminder reset instructions (print or save this guide)

Performing the oil change and resetting the service light together saves time and ensures your Jazz remains in peak condition.

⚠️ Safety and Warranty Note

Resetting the service light does not substitute actual maintenance. Always perform necessary services before resetting. Skipping maintenance may affect warranty coverage or vehicle reliability. If you’re unsure, have a qualified mechanic perform the reset during your next service visit.
