Where is the reset button on a Honda Accord?

The reset button isn’t a single, universal switch on a Honda Accord. Reset functions are tied to specific systems, and the exact method depends on the model year and trim. In practice, you reset maintenance reminders, trip meters, tire-pressure monitoring, or the clock using different controls or menu options.

Understanding where to reset each function requires knowing which system you want to refresh. This guide covers the most common reset tasks across recent Accord models, with steps you can follow at the steering wheel, instrument cluster, or infotainment screen. If your year isn’t covered here, consult the owner’s manual or a dealer for model-specific instructions.

Maintenance Minder reset

Maintenance Minder indicators track upcoming service needs. After doing scheduled maintenance or when you want to clear the reminder, you’ll typically reset the system through the instrument cluster controls or the touchscreen.

Use the steps below to reset the Maintenance Minder on most recent Accords. If your model year uses different menu names, the same idea applies—navigate to Maintenance Minder and reset.

1. Turn the ignition to ON with the engine off (for push-button start, press the button twice without pressing the brake).


2. Navigate to the Maintenance Minder display using the steering wheel controls or the information/Settings menu.


3. Select the option to Reset or Reset Maintenance Minder, then confirm or press and hold the selector until the reset is acknowledged.


4. Release when you see the confirmation (often a reset message or the digits reverting to 00000 or similar).


5. Turn the ignition off and back on to verify that the reminder is cleared.

Resetting the maintenance minder ensures the next service interval is tracked from the current date. If the screen doesn’t reset, try again or check the owner’s manual for year-specific steps.

Trip meter reset

Trip meters (Trip A and Trip B) help you track mileage between fill-ups or trips. The reset process is simple and is usually done with a dedicated Trip button on the instrument cluster or stalk.

Here’s how to reset Trip A or Trip B on most Accords. If your model uses a touchscreen control, adapt the steps to navigate to the Trip screen and reset there.

1. Turn on the ignition and view the trip meter display (A or B) you want to reset.


2. Press the Trip button to cycle to Trip A or Trip B you wish to reset.


3. Press and hold the Trip button for about 2 seconds until the selected trip resets to zero (0.0 or 0 mi).


4. Release the button and verify the display shows the trip as reset.

Resetting the trip meters is harmless and can be repeated for the other trip if needed. This is a quick way to track individual journeys more accurately.

TPMS (tire-pressure monitoring system) reset

Resetting TPMS varies by year. Many newer Accords manage TPMS automatically, but some models offer a manual relearn option via the vehicle’s settings. In most cases, you’ll ensure all tires are at the recommended pressures and drive to let the system relearn.

Use these general guidelines to address TPMS on a Honda Accord. If your model year provides a manual relearn, follow the on-screen prompts or the menu path shown below.

1. Check all tire pressures and inflate to the manufacturer’s recommended levels (printed on the doorjamb sticker or in the manual).


2. Drive the car at moderate speeds (often 30–50 mph) for several minutes to allow the system to relearn after pressure changes.


3. If your model supports a manual relearn, go to Settings > Vehicle > TPMS (or similar) and select Relearn/Reset, then confirm.


4. If the warning light remains on after a drive or a manual reset, consult the owner’s manual or a Honda service technician for a sensor replacement or software update.

In many newer Accords, proper tire inflation will cause the TPMS light to go out automatically after a short drive, without a manual reset.

Clock/time reset

If you need to adjust or reset the clock, you’ll typically use the instrument cluster controls or the infotainment system, depending on the year and trim.

Follow these steps as a general guide to set the time on most recent Accords. If your model uses a touchscreen clock, apply the same concept through Settings or Clock.

1. Access the clock settings via the instrument cluster menu or the infotainment system.


2. Use the dial, arrows, or touchscreen to set the hour and minute.


3. Confirm and exit to save the new time.

Clock adjustments are straightforward and separate from maintenance or sensor resets, but they’re part of common “reset” tasks owners perform when vehicles are redesigned for new infotainment interfaces.

Bottom line and caveats

There isn’t a universal “reset button” for all functions on a Honda Accord. Reset procedures differ by system and model year. If a particular reset doesn’t respond as described, consult the owner’s manual for year-specific steps or contact a Honda dealer for guidance.

Summary

The reset button on a Honda Accord isn’t a single switch. To reset a given function, you typically use the instrument cluster, steering wheel controls, the infotainment menu, or a combination of these depending on the system and year. Common resets include the Maintenance Minder, Trip A/B, TPMS (pressure monitoring), and the clock. Knowing which system you’re targeting and following the appropriate steps will usually clear the reminder or reset the measurement. When in doubt, refer to the owner’s manual or ask a dealer for model-specific instructions.
