Maintenance light flashes
Hi, the maintenance light flashes for about 10 seconds every time I first turn on the engine, does this mean my car need maintenance service? It's a 2001 TL. I spilled some of the coolant on my engine, does it damage your engine or has any side effect? Thanks.

The Maint req light is just a dummy light. Its supposed to remind you to change your oil at 7500k intervals.
As for the Maint required light its in your manual on how to reset it.
With the car off,Press and hold the Trip and Reset light with 1 hand, while holding them BOTH in turn your key
to the RUN position (not start but run) and continue to hold them in till they turn off. It takes about 10 seconds.
If you turn the key and then press teh buttons in you will change the Outside Temp settings
