I know that this has been discussed in the past but the "maintenance required" light flashes 6 times when I start the car. Then stops. This is the first time I have noticed it.
Is this:
A. Normal all tC's do it and this is the first time I am noticing it.

or

B. I am getting toward my first 5,000 maintained, and the computer tracks this.

or

C. Go to dealership and put it onto the machine to get the code and get it check out because this is not normal

Please be A or B
A little help?

 

option c is not even in the picture here, skip

the maint. required light flashes and only flashes as a reminder for service
it comes on for NO OTHER REASON

FYI

just reset it now or later

 

Mine came on, I changed my own oil. And, due to lack of laziness, I didn't reset it yet. It still has the light on. I'll reset it when I install my CAI tomorrow.

 

how do u reset it ?

 

hold down the main trip button (with key in "on" position),
while still holding the trip button in, turn the key to "off" then back to "on"

once light goes out, turn car on

 

how to reset this is listed on page 96 in the owners manual... Should have checked this first.

Oh well, now I know

 

maintence req'd light completely different from CEL.

 

maintenance required is totally different...it starts that flashing thing when your within 500 miles of needing your oil change.
