maint requd light...how do i fix it

sup guys im new here in the teg furum. im currently part of 4th gens board i drive a 91 civic b20/vtec. but i just bought a sick 95 ls 2 door. but the maint requd light is on. do i have to take it to a dealership or is there a code somwhere that tells you why its on. my temp. gauge seems to be allwyas running cold, sometimes when im in city driving its right below the middle where it should be but like freeway driving its bearly past the C. can someone help me out with the light. i would greatly appreciate it.

the maintenance req'd light is below the steering wheel, underneath the dash. Its a little tiny blue box. You might want to crawl under there on your back to look at it. You need to hold it for a while. The light will stay on and once it shuts off, you're all done. As for the temp guage, you might want to check your thermostat.

before just reseting it...you could need coolant, powersteering fluid, new spark plugs. the maint. required light comes on b/c you are at a certain milage and at that milage acura wants you to do certain things. if you tell me your milage i have a chiltons and i can tell you what you "should" have done. and you can figure out if you want to do those things or not.

i have 130000 miles on it bro thanks for the help will check back for your response
