what does it mean when the maintanance light flashes? it happened to me this morning and it runs fine? but its flashing 4 for 5 times when i initially turn the engine on

is it anytthing expensive?

 

i just bought the car of this guy a few weeks ago.. and he recently did a full tuneup.

ssomeone just told me the previous owner didnt reset the button?

he said you're suppose to hold it down for like 5 seconds?
he ssaid its under the dash on driver side?


where is this button?

 

That's just a reminder light - comes on 7000 miles after the last time it was reset.

The reset button (on my '95) is hidden above your right knee. Stick your head down by the gas pedal, the button is tucked under the edge of the dashboard, facing towards the gas pedal.

 

well my car has 102,000 miles on it now?

is it time for any major tuneups? the previous owner said that he had the car recently fully tuned.

yeah i found the button.. and pressed it.. now what should i do next?

 

You should be ok!

the major tune-up comes at 90k miles....the timing belt should have been replaced then.

Once u've pressed the button....the engine light should go away.
I think u need to press the button while the car is partially on (turn key halfway)

 

its only a reminder light. turn the car off. hold the button down. turn the key to the "ON" position. the light should go on, then off. release button.

 

 

thank everyone
