Learn about how you can keep track of your SUV’s maintenance needs here, then reach out to the Norm Reeves Honda Superstore Vista team to schedule a service appointment.
Following the Honda Maintenance MinderTM
To keep your Honda Passport up to date, you’ll need to learn how to use the Maintenance MinderTM. Fortunately, using it is a breeze. Plus, we’ll provide an explanation of the different codes that this system displays below.
The difference between the Maintenance MinderTM and other maintenance schedule systems is that the Maintenance MinderTM alerts you of upcoming services as they are needed on the driver information interface. Other maintenance schedules operate on mileage or time intervals.
This system helps ensure that you are getting the exact service or services you need when you need them. As a result, you’ll be better able to maintain your Honda Passport as your service recommendations will be more accurate.
Maintenance MinderTM Codes
Now that you know that the Maintenance MinderTM will be your go-to resource for knowing when to schedule maintenance services, let’s go over the codes that this system will display.
Codes A and B
Code A is simply an indicator to replace your engine oil. Once you’ve completed this task, make sure to reset the display.
Code B, on the other hand, alerts you to complete 10 maintenance items. However, the majority of these tasks are inspections. When you see a Code B on your display, you’ll need to schedule an oil and oil filter change as well as a multi-point inspection. This inspection will focus on:
- The front and back brakes
- The suspension system
- The exhaust system
- Brake lines and hoses
- Fluid levels and condition
A mechanic will also need to check a few other components like the driveshaft boots, tie rod ends, steering gearbox, and boots.
Codes 1 -7
When the Maintenance MinderTM displays a numerical code, you’ll need to schedule additional maintenance services. In the chart below, we outline the services that each number corresponds to:
|
Code |

1 |

2 |

4 |

5 |

As a resident of the rocky and hilly terrain of southern California, you’ll likely need to complete some of these services more frequently. For instance, rear differential fluid typically needs to be changed every 15,000 miles if you’re driving at low speeds in mountainous areas or towing frequently.
