On our 2001/2002 Civics, you would begin with your car shut off. Press and hold the select/reset button in the instrument panel, then turn the ignition switch ON (but don't start it!). Keep holding down the button, until it beeps, and the message goes away (about 10 seconds).
 
The Fit reset may work in the same way - may not.

If I'm not mistaken the owners manual tells you how to reset your maintenance minder for those who do there own maintenance. Look it up.

"Look it up." Me-ow!
 
Well... Here's the procedure, from the 2007 Honda Fit owner's manual (which I did not have with me, at the time of my earlier post):
 
If maintenance service is done by someone other than your dealer, reset the maintenance minder as follows:
  • Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position.

  • Press the Select/Reset knob repeatedly until the engine oil life is displayed.

  • Press the Select/Reset knob for about 10 seconds. The engine oil life and the maintenance item code(s) will blink.

  • Press the Select/Reset knob for another 5 seconds. The maintenance item code(s) will disappear, and the engine oil life will reset to ‘‘100.’’

    Thank you.
     
    My mistake was that I took the manual's directive on oil changes to have the dealer reset the Maintenance Minder as meaning that dealers need to reset it. So I didn't look how to do it myself in the manual until after I posted.

    Passenger Airbag Off Indicator by carfanatic007

    I don't know if this is a problem or not. Is the Passenger Airbag Off Indicator supposed to come on when you start the car and then go off? Is it supposed to stay on all the time if the Passenger air bag is off? I have read the owners manual and am still confused. Mine comes on for about 1 second when no one is in the seat, or when my wife is sitting there. It does not stay on all the time.

    Passenger Airbag Off light should be ON whenever the airbag is not activated, e.g. no one sitting in the seat or a light load like a purse there. It should be off when the airbag is activated, e.g. when your wife sits there.

    Backy,
     
    Please check that again. I suspect the Pass Air Bag light will only be lit, for more that a few seconds, when it is manually turned off. Thanks....

    How do you know the occupant classification system (OCS) is operating correctly then? Suppose a small child sits in the front seat (yes, I know they are not supposed to, but I know it happens). What you are saying is that the OCS light will flash for a few seconds, then go off. But the airbag will not be activated. In every other car I have seen with an OCS light, the light stays on until the passenger airbag is activated.

    I'm pretty sure the air bag off light will only stay on if there is some light wieght in the seat like a child, and then it will light up and stay on. It will be off if no one is in the seat or an adult is in the seat.
