Is it your maintenance required light ? or your check engine light.

If it is your Mntce. rqd. light then thats a simple fix and nothings wrong. If its your CEL then you need to find out why its showing that CEL.

the dealer is not out to get you. the MIL is not a conspiracy.

i don't understand why everyone thinks this way.

My Main. Req. light is always on. My cousin, whom i bought the car from says that there used to be a switch under the steering wheel to turn it off, but during the integ. recall a few years ago, they must have taken it out. Can anyone verify this?

Removing the Maint. Req. Light reset switch would indeed be a conspiracy!!

My 97 LS still has a switch to reset the "MAINT REQ" light.
