Why did it come on in the first place? You can usually disconnect the battery for a few minutes and it will reset the light. But if there's still a problem, it will just come back on again when you start it up. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

If you're talking about the maintenance light, here's the thread:

Maintenance Light Reset

It comes on to tell you to change the oil I think. I'm at 5,350 miles and I haven't seen it yet.

Maybe you could do it that way or you could do it what I like to call the right way.

1. with your car turned off push the right button in were your speed-o-meter is

2.then turn the ingnition on while holding the button down

3. hold it for about 6 sec or so then let off

4. turn ign. off then turn back on and it should go off like normal


if all else fails look in your owners manual it tells in there thats how I found out

Are you talking about the Check Engine light or the SRS light.

The check engine light came on when I installed my Injen CAI today. I got it to turn off by checking my engine and fixing the problem. . . hope that helps.
