How to Clear the Maintenance Light on a Great Wall Wingle 5?
4 Answers
To clear the maintenance reminder light on a Great Wall Wingle 5, the quickest and most accurate method is to use a fault diagnostic tool. It is recommended that car owners visit a 4S shop for maintenance and have the reminder light cleared. The steps to clear the maintenance reminder light on your own are as follows: 1. Turn the ignition key to the 2nd position, hold down the small mileage reset button without releasing, insert the car key and turn it until the dashboard lights up, then release. The maintenance light will turn off. There is a button on the dashboard for adjusting the mileage; press and hold this button for 2-3 seconds while idling. 2. Simultaneously press the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal, and wait for the maintenance light to flash (approximately 15 seconds). 3. Release the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal.
I used to drive a Fengjun 5, and I could reset the maintenance light myself. The specific steps are: First, turn off the engine and press and hold the small button on the right side of the dashboard. Then, turn the key to the power-on position without starting the engine. Keep an eye on the dashboard, and after about 5 seconds, the maintenance reminder icon will start flashing. Immediately release the button and quickly press it once to confirm. Wait a few seconds, and the light will go off. It worked every time on my 2019 model, but I've heard the button location might vary slightly for different model years. If it doesn't work, check the manual in the glove box for diagrams. By the way, after resetting the light, remember to get the maintenance done as soon as possible—engine health is more important than anything else.
Clearing the maintenance light on the Fengjun 5 follows a standard procedure: After parking and turning off the engine, press and hold the reset button on the dashboard, then turn the key to the ON position. The key point is to carefully observe the dashboard—release the button immediately when the wrench icon flashes, then press the button once more to complete the process. The engine must not be started during the entire procedure, and pressing the button for too short a time won’t work. I’ve encountered several customers who failed to do it themselves, mostly because they didn’t notice the icon flashing before moving to the next step. If three attempts fail, it may indicate that the vehicle’s computer needs recalibration, in which case a visit to the repair shop with an OBD device for a reset is necessary. Also, I’d like to remind owners to ensure that maintenance has been performed before clearing the light—don’t skip the basic servicing steps.
Simple three steps: Turn off the engine → Long press the dashboard button → Power on and release the button when you see the light flashing, then press it again. The whole process takes only 20 seconds. The key point is to make sure you see the indicator light flashing when powering on before releasing the button. After clearing the light, remember to check the engine oil and filter to ensure the vehicle's actual maintenance status is synchronized.
