How to remove the small wrench icon on the 2014 B50 dashboard?
2 Answers
Insert the key, but only insert it without turning. Hold the lever next to the odometer for 5-10 seconds, then turn the key to power on. After another 5-10 seconds, start the car. Keep holding the lever throughout this process without releasing it. Generally, following these steps will clear the small wrench icon. If it doesn't clear, repeat the same process a few more times.
Last year I bought a used 2014 Besturn B50, and when the little wrench light on the dashboard came on, I knew it was the maintenance reminder. Resetting it is actually quite simple—I've done it myself several times. Here's how: First, turn the key to the OFF position to cut all power. Then, press and hold the TRIP button on the left side of the steering wheel (the same button used to toggle the odometer display) and keep it pressed. While holding the button, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine. Watch the dashboard—after about 5 to 10 seconds, the wrench light will automatically turn off. After resetting, take a short drive to check if the light stays off. Don’t panic when you see the light—it just means you’ve driven 5,000 to 10,000 km since the last service, serving as a safety reminder. Regular maintenance is crucial for your car’s health and extends engine life. I recommend servicing every six months or every 5,000 km. Resetting it yourself saves hassle, but if you're unsure, visit a professional shop to confirm maintenance needs.
