maintenance light
i've got a 99 tl and my maintenance light blinks about 5-6 times
longer than the other lights after i turn on my engine
but it does not stay on, just blinks longer even after other lights stop blinking
is this normal?

wanna shut it off?

Wanna shut the light off? In the '02 owner's manual, hold the reset / select buttons (where you can toggle your mileage / trip computer) simultaneously for 10 seconds (about) when you start your car and it should turn off.
** only shut the light off if you've already gone to get your car serviced... ** It goes on for a reason...

'02 EBP TL Type-S
mods: OEM trunk spoiler, PIAA 9006 fogs, 20% tints side / back
future mods: OEM bodykit (hopefully), springs & sways (in the distant future)

Looks like the MAINT REQ'D light is programmed to every 12000km based on regular maintenance intervals.... (flash 2 sec up to 9600km, 10 sec between 9600 -12000 km and staedy past 12000km). Is there a way to program this annunciator based on the heavy maintenance schedule (Every 6km)?
Thanks
Thanks

Press & hold both RESET & SELECT button and put the key in ignition(3rd position) and wait till it turns off. If you press the buttons before the igition, it'll go to outside temperature setting.
