Resetting the Maintenance Required Light
Resetting the Maintenance Required Light
The Maintenance Required Light is a standard reminder system in many vehicles, alerting you that it's time to perform scheduled maintenance like oil changes or inspections. This light is typically not a warning of damage but a mileage-based indicator.
What Happens When You Reset It?
- The dashboard light is turned off after service is completed.
- The maintenance counter resets, ensuring accurate service reminders in the future.
- It improves service tracking and helps avoid unnecessary alerts.
Using an Autel diagnostic scanner, this function can be completed in just seconds — without needing manual combinations of dashboard buttons or guesswork.
