As an American, I would rephrase the text as: The code b16 on the Honda CR-V is a maintenance reminder for drivers to change oil, rotate tires, and replace the rear differential fluid in the vehicle. The code breakdown is A for oil change, 1 for tire rotation, and 6 for replacing the differential fluid. If you've recently completed these services but need to clear the code, follow these steps: turn the car's ignition to the 1st position, hold the reset button until the odometer flashes, release the button, then press and hold reset until it stops flashing. The recommended service intervals are an oil change every 3500 miles, tire rotation every 3500 miles, and rear differential fluid change every 60,000 miles.

I'm wondering why our CRV, which only has 19,000 miles on it, needs a tire rotation and rear differential fluid flush. We had the tires rotated just last year, and we don't drive the car frequently.

If your Honda CRV displays a maintenance code B16, it indicates that you need to rotate your tires and get your rear differential fluid flushed and changed.

Thank you! I couldn't locate B16 anywhere in the maintenance manual.

My car's health monitor recently displayed a B16 service code when it only has 14,000 miles on it. Could this be indicating that the differential needs servicing? I declined that specific service as it didn't seem necessary to me.

Could you please explain the concept of differential fluids to me?

Rickey explained that all-wheel-drive Hondas are equipped with a driveshaft that connects the engine to the rear wheels. This driveshaft ends at a differential box containing gears that power the back axles. The fluid in the differential box should be replaced regularly.
