Something about turning the car off, then put it in "on" position, then hold down the trip odometer reset button until it quits blinking...that's what I remember from memory. Sorry if that's not entirely accurate, but try that.

did u get an oil change or anything along those lines?
if not its just the car telling u to get it looked at.. the same thing happens with the engine check light. once the problem is solved things will return to normal. howeva if u just want to lose the light every1 above my post already told u.. good luck

yeah, it goes on around 7500 miles. like they said - hold odometer reset button while turning key to on position & hold it in till light goes out. if it keeps coming on, you need to get the code scan done (which will turn the light out also).
mine came on & i thought it was cause i forgot to reset it once i had the oil changed, so i reset it. it came back on the next day & i went to the local parts store to have the code scanned (free of charge
) & it ended up being my cat going bad - found out 300 miles before warranty ran out otherwise it would've been $600 outta my pocket to have it replaced 
so what i'm sayin is that "idiot" light as some people call 'em is there for a reason some times.
