TL;DR: New owner, saw A 2 underneath oil life in menu, brought to dealer, they said didn't need anything and car wasn't actually warning me for maintenance. Went on my way.
So I just picked up what appears to be a gently used 2016 Civic EX-T. She was sitting on a nearby Mazda dealer's lot for a good price.
I got around to resetting everything and dinking around in the menus and stuff and noticed Maintenance Minder codes.
Specifically... While looking at the wrench menu on the main screen, it shows oil life at 90% (was 100 when I bought), and a little A 2 underneath.
I was kind of miffed but not surprised that a used car might be sold with codes outstanding, but I digress.
I took her to my local dealer earlier today looking for an A 2 maintenance, and they said she's not showing any need for maintenance.
Guy was saying that little code is what the car WILL be asking for at the next visit.
I don't get any alerts or anything when I start her up, so I'm sure they're probably right, but it just seems strange that codes would show up under the oil life if there wasn't any actual maintenance needed.
Thoughts? Thanks! Looking forward to learning all the ins and outs of my New-to-Me car. First time with a Honda and pretty stoked about it.
