you can reset it easily. it just comes on every 7000miles i think. to let you know its time for a checkup/oil change

safer to get codes read at autozone, then if nothing is wrong (no codes = pass), i would follow reset procedures:

"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."

There's nothing to check. The car counts the miles and turns on the maintenance required light after a certain mileage...I believe it stays on solid after 7.5k.

The red check engine light is another story.
