As the owner of a 2016 Honda Civic, you may notice different lights coming on your dashboard from time to time. These lights are typically reminders for regular maintenance tasks like changing fluids and filters or they can indicate a problem. The code a17 is simply a maintenance reminder telling you that it's time for an oil and filter change, brake fluid check, and tire rotation after reaching either 10,000 miles or 12 months. Once you've had these services done, you can reset the notification light.
An A17 code for a 2016 Honda Civic indicates that it's time to change the engine oil, rotate the tires, and refresh the brake fluid.

You need to update the reminders after getting a service done, otherwise, like in my situation, you may still receive alerts even after the service is completed. While a dealership will reset the reminder, a rapid oil change establishment might not do so.
