check maintenance light
I ran over something on the freeway and my passenger side foglight went out. Well since then when i start my car the check maintenance light blinks on and off for about 5-10 seconds. Anybody know what it is.

Oil change reminder - that is the ONLY function of the Maintenance Required Light.
Do you by any chance have an owners manual? If so you need to use that, or the search button - no offense but these threads pop up every week.
Reset the light by following these instructions:
1. With ignition off, press and hold both SELECT AND RESET buttons.
2. While holding them, turn ignition to "ON' position but do not start engine.
3. Hold the two buttons until the light stops flashing and goes out.

If you exceed more than 7500 miles since it was last reset it will come on and stay on.
