Prerequisites: No tools needed. Ensure the vehicle is in Park with the engine off before starting.
Step-by-Step Reset Procedure
- Insert the key into the ignition, but do not start the engine.
- Turn the key to the “ON” position (where dashboard lights illuminate). Do not crank the engine.
- Locate the odometer reset button (small button near the speedometer).
- Press and hold the odometer reset button. Continue holding it down.
- After approximately 5 seconds, the “Maintenance Required” light will begin to blink and then turn off.
- Release the button once the light is off.
- Turn the ignition off to complete the process.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Starting the engine during the process (must be in “ON” position only)
- Releasing the button too soon (wait for the light to blink and turn off)
- Attempting while driving (always perform in Park)
Confirmation of Successful Reset
To verify the reset worked:
- Turn the ignition back to the “ON” position (without starting).
- The “Maintenance Required” light should not illuminate.
- If the light remains off, the reset was successful.
Note: This procedure resets only the maintenance reminder light. It does not affect other warning lights (like the check engine light). If other lights remain on, consult a mechanic
