Maintenance required light

Everytime I start my car the main. req. light blinks 12 times then shuts off. Would anyone know what the problem is? The car is an 01 with 74,000 miles.

The FAQ hasn't been updated in 3 years (!) but it's still useful for basics like this:

Welcome to the forum !!

I know that alot of you guys buying used CL's don't get the owners manual, so I scanned the maintenance light page from my manual.

It's in the FAQ forum here:

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=146686



Chod's Faq is required required reading, and I actually read most of his FAQ before I even bought my CLS.

If you don't have the OEM manual, you can get them from the OEM supplier http://www.helminc.com (or from ebay).

If you have any questions about navigating the forums here (searching, sending private messages, etc), let me know.

John

Not too cool to help, but tired of seeing the same question asked ALL the time. "Search" is your friend.
