The dash on a 2014 Honda Accord is most commonly reset for the Maintenance Minder (oil life), but you may also need to reset trip meters or trigger a TPMS re-learn after tire work.
Resetting the Maintenance Minder (Oil Life) on a 2014 Accord
The standard maintenance reset in most trims uses the instrument cluster controls to refresh the oil-life reading back to 100%. Some trims may use slightly different button labels, but the process remains similar.
Alternate controls by trim
On some models you reset Oil Life by cycling to the Oil Life display with the INFO button and then pressing and holding the SEL/RESET control until it resets to 100%.
- Turn the ignition to ON with the engine OFF.
- Use the SEL/RESET knob (or cycle with the INFO button) to display Oil Life.
- Press and hold the SEL/RESET knob for about 2 seconds until the Oil Life reads 100%.
- Release, turn the ignition OFF, then start the car to confirm the reset.
The oil-life indicator should now show 100%, indicating the system has been reset. If your trim doesn’t respond to these controls, consult the owner’s manual for the exact procedure for your model.
Resetting the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
TPMS behavior varies by trim. In many 2014 Accords, the light will reset automatically after you inflate all tires to the correct pressures and drive for a short distance. Some trims offer a manual reset option in the car’s settings menu.
Manual reset options (if your trim supports them)
If your model provides a manual TPMS reset option, you’ll typically access it through the Driver Information Interface using the steering-wheel controls.
- Inflate all tires to the recommended pressures (found on the door jamb sticker or owner’s manual).
- If available, access TPMS settings via the Info/Settings menu and select Reset/Learn, then confirm.
- Drive at highway speeds for 10–15 minutes to allow the system to relearn.
- If the warning light remains after retraining, have the sensors checked by a technician.
In many cases, simply ensuring proper tire pressures and driving will cause TPMS to relearn automatically without a manual reset.
Resetting Trip Meters (Trip A / Trip B)
Trip meters are useful for tracking fuel economy or trip distances. Resetting them is quick and is done from the instrument cluster using the trip button.
Steps to reset each trip
Use the trip display to pick the meter you want to reset, then hold the reset control until it zeros.
- Turn the ignition to ON (engine off).
- Display Trip A or Trip B by pressing the trip/selector button until the desired trip is shown.
- Press and hold the Trip/Reset button until the display shows 0.0 (or a reset value).
- Release; return to normal display. Repeat for the other trip if needed.
These resets do not affect vehicle performance; they only refresh the recorded trip data.
Notes, variations, and troubleshooting
Procedure details can vary by trim level and radio/infotainment configuration. If your vehicle doesn’t respond to the steps above, or you’ve recently performed work on the vehicle (oil change, tires, etc.), consult the owner’s manual for model-specific instructions or contact a Honda dealer or certified technician for guidance.
Summary
To reset the dash on a 2014 Honda Accord, most owners start with the Maintenance Minder oil-life reset via the instrument cluster, then may reset Trip A/Trip B or perform a TPMS relearn if needed. Always ensure tires are inflated to the recommended pressures before attempting a TPMS reset, and remember that some steps can vary slightly by trim. Regular resets help keep maintenance reminders accurate and dashboard information tidy.
