Recently the Maintenance Required light comes on and blinks for a couple of minutes, then goes off. We put new brakes on the front and we changed the oil and I thought the light would stop, but it's still blinking. Any clue?

run the fault codes to find any other faults

Hi, I have a couple of questions.
1. were the signals working before you replaced the brake light bulbs, and did you use the recommended bulbs?
2. Do the brake lights work now?

The brakes and signals use the same filaments, so these things are tied together.

First to check with OBD codes reader, this is one advise to fault; when you have this number (code) the clues for solve the problem are more.

Try it, comment and rated this.

No the maintenance light comes on at a set mileage interval to remind you that your vehicle will be do for oil or some other scheduled maintenance. Low brakes will not trigger the light. If there is a serious problem with the braking system it will trigger the red brake light on the dash.

take the battery cable off for a minute, should reset for you.

If I remember correctly, on the dash you have a select button. Hold the button down then turn the key on, until the maintenance light blinks and goes out. Turn the key off then back on and your light should be out.

The Maint Req Light is only a reminder light to get the Oil changed and fluids checked and what nots.. Its on a timer that must be reset.. Its no big deal if ya had it seviced recently.. Heres how to turn it off: 1) Make sure Key is Off 2) Press and Hold Mileage reset button. 3) While Holding Milelage Reset button, swicth car to run, but dont crank..4) Continue to hold button until light flashes and goes off.. then switch it off .. Start the engine to make sure it worked.. Sometimes ya gotta do it twice.. NOW.. And ur Lamp indicator.. Means you probably have a brake light or turn signal bulb out on the rear.. Get someone to help ya look for that.. Lemmie know if this works.. and Take care.. Thanx

Look up under dash where brake pedal pivots, you should see a switch that is activated by pedal arm.

Take out the positive cable on the battery then put it back on.

This is already covered in the owner's manual, but here it is again as a quick reference.

Every 5,000 miles, a "Maintenance Required" light will blink for the first couple seconds after you start your car. It will continue to do so until it is reset. If it is not reset, than it will eventually turn on your "Check Engine" light. The purpose of the maintenance required light is to remind TC owners to change their oil. The factory recommended interval is 5,000 miles, but you can reduce the interval the light will come on to a mileage interval of your choice.

1. Before starting, make sure that the odometer is not on one of the trip mileage odometers but is displaying the standard odometer.

2. With the car off, press and hold down the odometer reset button. While still holding it, start the car.

3. The light should continue to blink for a couple seconds and than disappear. That will reset the light for another 5,000 miles.

4. The following are steps to change the interval in which the maintenance required light comes on. Right after you turn on the ignition while holding the reset button, you'll notice that the odometer display will show 5 bars. Each bar corresponds to a 1,000 miles. As each bar disappears, the interval will increase (0 bars = 5k, 1 bar = 4k). Release the reset button at the interval you desire.
