when the maintence light comes on, its just a reminder. the ecu is not throwing out any codes.

when the engine light come on, thats when you take a jumper to the ECU.

The maintenance light is reset by inserting your key into the slot next to in the dash. Mine came on once at 7500 mile and never again. Weird.

That is wierd, unless the tumblers are stuck. That maint. light on 5th gens uses the same principle as the trip odometer. Except instead of numerical digits there is a three colored transparrent piece of plastic at the end of the tumblers. It just rolls like the trip od.
