like i said this might be a dumb question and im sorry if it is guys but what does it mean when the maintenance required sign turns yellow..

thanks guy

 

it can mean all different things. you have to either take it into the dealer to find out, or get one of the obII readers or whatever the thing is called.

its usually for routine maintenance, ie. 30k checkup.

how many miles on your car?

 

autozone and car places will run a free OBDII scan for you. There are multiple reasons, like rootbeer said, for that light to be triggered.

 

lol

the answer to your question is that it is not a light it is just a colored rotating disk... as your odometer rolls on the disc keeps turning from green to yellow to red.

it is a mechanical device not electronical. you can use your key to reset the maintainance "light" back to green push in that button on the gauge pod.

nothing is wrong with your car yet, might be around the mileage for the tune up or something like that. check the maintainance schedule in the manual.

 

^^^ what he said...soon it will turn red meaning, time to get a tune up

 

i have about 75000 miles on my car
how much does a tune up cost?

 

my 60,000 mile tune up cost somelike $40? i forget, they just did a oil change, checked everything, rotated the tires...the usual stuff

 

i wasn't paying attention. I took it as he said the check engine light. The maintainence light is nothing important, just a reminder......

 

lol thanks alot guys i appreciate the help

 

If they forget to reset it, just stick your key in the little slot next to the trip odometer reset. The disk usually turns when it's time to have an oil change.

 

sigh the question is answered... chalk another one up for a-cl.com

 

In The Owners Manual On My 2.3cl 1998 It States That It Is A Maintenance Reminder That Will Cycle Every 7500 Miles. I Clocked Mine And It Is Dead On The Money. Our Cars Are Pretty Reliable So I Just Keep Up On Routine Maintenance, Baby The Hell Out Of The Car And Put My Key In The Resetter To Turn It Back To Green...
