Oil Change/Maintenance Light

[pkerner]

Does the Maintenance Light go on (on a 2004 Limited), when you get to 5000 miles or so, because of the suggestion to change your oil?

My maintenance light is on at 5500 miles and I am under warranty. What do you think it is?

According to the manual its time for an oil change.

yes it is normal, the dealer probably just forgot to reset the light when you got your first oil change (I assume you've already had your first one). I found the instructions on how to reset it from another thread:

TSB EL002-03 has these instructions:

1. Turn ignition switch to "ON" position
2. Set odometer/trip display to "ODO" mode
3. Turn ignition switch to "OFF" position
4. Depress and hold the Trip Meter "RESET" button while turning the ignition switch to the "ON" position
5. The service maintenance reminder light will:

i. Illuminate solidly for 3 seconds
ii. Blink for 2 seconds
iii. Illuminate solidly for 1 second
iv. Turn off

6. Release the Trip Meter "RESET" button
7. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position
8. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position and confirm that the service maintenance reminder light goes out.
