When your Honda’s dashboard displays a “B1” service code, it’s part of the Honda Maintenance Minder™ System, reminding you it’s time for a routine oil change and an in-depth multi-point inspection.

In short, B1 service = Oil change + comprehensive inspection + tire rotation.

This service helps maintain your Honda’s performance, prevent costly repairs, and keep your warranty valid.

Breaking Down What It Means

Honda’s maintenance codes are designed to simplify car care by showing you exactly what your vehicle needs. No guesswork required.

“B” indicates major service – this is a more thorough inspection than your standard “A” oil change. It typically includes:

• Oil and filter replacement
• Brake inspection
• Fluid level checks and top-offs
• Suspension, steering, and exhaust inspection
• Drive belt inspection

The “1” sub-code means it’s also time for a tire rotation to ensure even tread wear and longer tire life.

So, a B1 service means your vehicle needs both the “B” major service and the “1” tire rotation – usually performed together during the same visit. Both can be serviced at our Bay Ridge Honda Service Center.

When Should I Schedule My Honda B1 Service?

The B1 code usually appears around 7,500 miles or roughly every 6 months, depending on your driving habits.

Your Honda’s Maintenance Minder™ System calculates this based on:

• Mileage
• Engine temperature
• Driving conditions
• Time since your last service

If you see the B1 code or receive a maintenance reminder on your dashboard, it’s best to schedule service soon to prevent engine wear and maintain fuel efficiency.
