Hold down the trip meter button, turn the ignition on (the light will flash for 10 seconds), then let off the button and turn the ignition off. Then, turn it back on and see if the light is reset.

This is the way it works for my Accord, I assume it is the same for the TL.

Let me know if I got this right.

Here:

1) Open up your Manual
2) Look the index up for Maintenance Light

OR

3) if you look on top of this page, there is a Menu for search, use that.

But since your a noob, Welcome to the Forum:

Press and Hold SELECT and RESET buttons then turn on the key to the Start position, and wait till the maint. light disappears.

you can also tell a person now how take a wheel off simplified version, take a few bolts out and pull the wheel off...

but you can also tell that person the proper procedure of first loosening the bolts while the tire is still touching the ground.....

im not taking away your credit. i was more glorifying the ease of searching for simple info like that yourself.

Oh I meant to add a to that post because I was amused at the way I made something simple into something that sounded difficult. Haha not to worry about credit.

3rd shift is getting to me.

aww man, i didn't know that!.... i just jack up the car all the way and loosen all the bolts on opposite ends and then take them out... what would get messed up if i didn't do it the right way?

loosening wise is not wrong with what your doing, but you are doing triple the work, since when you lift your tire first and then proceed unscrewing the bolts, as you are unscrewing the tire initially begins to turn with the bolt, a bit unreasonable, right?

losen it up on the ground, then lift, finish unscrewing the bolts, pull the rim/tire off, sometime you have to kick it a little bit on a side, put the donut or whatever on, and make sure, that you follow the star pattern when tightin the screws...tires are the most important thing on your car.
