Maint REQ Light???

When I start up my 05' AT the maintence required light blinks about 5 to 7 times after the engine is on? Any ideas on what this is all about? I have oil changed regularly and the car recently has a 15k service. Now it has 19K.

It will flash even if you have done the maintainence. It's a reminder to get it done if you havn't already. Search the forum for the procedure to turn it off. It's a few simple steps.

People will buy a piece of $30K machinery and NOT look at the owner's manual when they have a problem. Amazing.
