The term "B12 maintenance" for a Honda Civic refers to the following services: "B" stands for an oil filter change, "1" means tire rotation, and "2" is for changing the engine and cabin air filters. These services are recommended over waiting for the check engine light to come on specifically for these issues. However, the check engine light may still illuminate. It cannot be manually reset and typically indicates a problem with the vehicle, though the cause can vary. Instead of trying to pinpoint the issue yourself, it is best to take the car to a mechanic who can use an OBD tool to scan for trouble codes and determine the problem. Once the issue is identified and fixed, the light will turn off. One quick check to perform before heading to the mechanic is to ensure the gas cap and fuel door are securely closed, as a loose cap or open door can trigger the light unnecessarily.
