How to Remove the Wrench Icon on Zotye Vehicles?
2 Answers
Method to remove the wrench icon on Zotye vehicles: With the engine turned off, simultaneously press two cylinders, turn off the key, and hold for 10 seconds to eliminate the wrench icon. The appearance of the wrench icon on the dashboard is a maintenance reminder, indicating that the vehicle requires servicing. Vehicle maintenance has two indicators: time and mileage, whichever comes first. The first maintenance cycle is 3 months or 5,000 kilometers. Regular maintenance is crucial for the vehicle's lifespan and driving safety, as some components are consumables that wear out over time. The primary maintenance tasks include changing the engine oil and oil filter. During an oil change, the oil filter must also be replaced, as a clogged filter can impair oil performance, contaminate the oil, and shorten its service life.
I've dealt with this little wrench issue on Zotye cars several times. As someone who often helps friends with car repairs, the usual procedure is to turn off the ignition, then press and hold the trip reset button on the dashboard without releasing it. Next, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, wait about 10 seconds until the wrench icon flashes and disappears. This method works for most car models. However, buttons may vary between different models, so it's best to check the owner's manual. Or simply get an OBD scanner and connect it to a phone app to resolve it with one click, avoiding any mishandling. Remember, the wrench icon appears to remind you it's time for maintenance. Don't just focus on resetting it; delaying oil or filter changes can damage the engine, leading to more expensive and dangerous repairs. I once experienced a car breakdown due to delayed maintenance and have since developed a habit of checking every six months, which has made things much easier. If the method doesn't work after several attempts, it's best to drive directly to a 4S shop and let professionals handle it—safety first.
