Maintenance require light blink 10 times

run the fault codes to find any other faults

turn the key to activate the power but not start the ignition, do this a handfull of times. The check engine light should blink a specific number of times, this can be referenced to identify the problem, after this happens the light should turn off until you have another problem!There's a difference between the "check engine" light and the "engine maintenance required" light (aka "Emission Maintenance Reminder" or EMR light). The EMR light is strickly a reminder that emission system maintenance is due. This includes the EGR valve, PCV valve, & Oxygen sensor. It is program to light at approximately 60,000, 82,500, & 120,000 miles. Because its activated by mileage, it does not necessarily mean that something has malfuction. Unfortunately, the only way to reset it is by using a diagnostic scan tool. Of course, you could always remove the bulb.

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.

These happens every "scheduled maintenance" milage. Pretty soon it will come on and stay on.

On a 1999, if you hold in the milage reset buttons and turn on the key to 2nd position, the maintenance light will go out.

i have found that the handas use a maintenence light as there change oil light. look in your owners manual for a reset. i would reset it and see if it comes back or go have the computer pluged in and have the code if there is one retreaved

to reset your maintenance light follow the following steps:
1 Turn off the engine.
2 press and hold the select/reset button in the instrument panel, then turn the ignition switch ON
3 hold the button for at least 10 seconds, until the indicator resets.

Maintenance is needed depending on the mileage, anything from an oil change to a major service. then the light can be reset.

Change your oil, and reset the light. With the ignition off, hold down your trip reset button, turn the ignition on, car off, until the maintenance light blinks, then it is reset.

to reset the the light , turn ignition switch to off position , press and hold the select/reset trip button , while holding the button turn ignition switch to the on position , with the engine off , continue to hold the reset button for about 10 seconds until indicator resets , your done.
you will see like 5 dashs blink then 4 then 3 then 2 then 1 then all flash . problem solved .

First of all, you should'nt do this unless you know what the problem is.. or what tripped it. I had this problem when my husband and I were replacing a head unit and disconnected the old head unit, a/c and other stuff then turn the car on. This made the light flash. The first time we took it in and got charged $50 to reset it. The second time we did this procedure and it worked.

ECU Resetting Procedures

Timing is extremely critical. If it is NOT DONE within the specify time, the ECU will not reset and the Check Engine Light (CEL) will continue to remain ON.
A stop watch or an analog clock with a second’s needle will be useful.

Reset Check Engine Light Procedures

1. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch “ON” and wait 3 seconds.
2. Repeat the following steps (2a and 2b) procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds.
2a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD).
2b. Fully release the accelerator pedal.
3. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 10 seconds until the CEL starts blinking.
4. Fully release the accelerator pedal (while the CEL is still blinking)
5. Wait about 10 seconds.
6. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for more than 10 seconds.
7. Fully release the accelerator pedal (The CEL light will continue to blink).
8. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position and now you can start the car. The CEL light should be gone.

If the CEL light continues to remain ON, repeat the above steps. Timing is EXTREMELY critical to resetting the ECU.
