How to Cancel the Wrench Icon on the Dashboard?

[LaDeclan]

Here are the steps to cancel the wrench icon on the dashboard: 1. Switch to instant fuel consumption. 2. Turn off the ignition switch (completely off, to the lock position). 3. Before inserting the key, hold down the mode switch (the one used to toggle between instant fuel consumption and trip mileage) without releasing. 4. Turn on the ignition switch and wait for the self-check to complete (do not start the engine). 5. Release the mode switch, and within 30 seconds, simultaneously press the mode switch and the clock switch (press time). Below is some information about car maintenance: 1. Generally, the light will come on when the specified mileage is reached, reminding you to go to the repair shop for maintenance. The set time varies for each car model, so refer to the car's user manual for accurate information. 2. After maintenance at the repair shop, it is necessary to reset the maintenance light to zero. If not reset, the indicator light will remain on even after maintenance is performed.

I've been driving for over 15 years, and that wrench light on the dashboard has come on several times. It's the car's way of reminding you that maintenance is due, like an oil change or routine check-up. If you've actually done the maintenance, turning off the light is straightforward: sit in the car, turn the key to the power-on position, but don't start the engine; there's usually a SET or RESET button near the steering wheel, which varies by brand—my Ford requires menu navigation, while a Honda might need holding the Trip button for five seconds; the exact steps are best found in the owner's manual to avoid pressing the wrong buttons and failing to reset. Remember to clear the light only after maintenance is done, otherwise, the car's condition may deteriorate, affecting performance and safety. Long-term neglect of maintenance can lead to increased fuel consumption or minor issues turning into major repairs, so making a habit of checking the dashboard regularly can save you a lot of trouble.
