Garticus, hold down the "reset" and "trip" buttons, then turn the key to the "on" position. i think it will blink or something then reset. at least that is how you do it on an '02, i cant tell what year you have. it may also be in your owners manual how to do it (its in mine towards the back somewhere). hope this helps.

SSTS

**EDIT**
ah the "SELECT" not "TRIP" button, my bad. thanks hzm82.

Information like this can be found in the manual, if you do not have one please purchase a replacement because it is very useful to have. With that said, to reset the maint light.


I.) Press & hold RESET & SELECT buttons together,
II.) While you holding those 2 buttons, put the key in igition to II position(Don't start the car)
III.) Maintenance light will start blinking. Wait until the Maintenance light turns off and let go those buttons
IV.) Start the car and make sure it's off.

its the same procedure. look in the manual. push and hold the reset and trip buttons then turn the car to the run position and hold the buttons for 10 sec (untill the light goes off)
