How to Reset the Maintenance Indicator Light on Chery Vehicles?
2 Answers
Insert the key and press the small button on the right (the black lever on the dashboard used for adjusting time and resetting trip mileage). Turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine. Continue holding the small button for a few seconds before releasing it. Then, press and hold the small button again, gently turn it to the right, and release to reset the maintenance reminder. Below are relevant details: 1. The original purpose of the car maintenance light is to remind the owner to perform maintenance as soon as possible. Therefore, the owner should promptly visit a 4S shop for maintenance. After the maintenance is completed, the 4S shop will use a diagnostic tool to reset the maintenance light. 2. The quickest and most accurate method to reset the maintenance reminder light is by using a diagnostic tool. Since individual car owners generally do not possess such equipment, it is recommended to have the reminder light reset at a 4S shop after maintenance or visit an external 4S shop for the reset.
I helped a friend with this issue before. Resetting the Chery maintenance light is actually quite simple, let me walk you through it: First, power on the vehicle without starting the engine. The dashboard will perform a self-check. At this point, press and hold the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel while keeping the brake pedal depressed. Hold for about 15 seconds until the maintenance icon starts flashing. Then, use the left button on the steering wheel to switch modes. When you see the reset prompt, press and hold the OK button to confirm, and you're done. The process is similar for Tiggo and Arrizo models, but older versions require a professional diagnostic tool for reset, while newer models support steering wheel operation. Don't worry if it doesn't work immediately - some models require connecting to the OBD port reset module first. If all else fails, check the owner's manual for the reset flow diagram.
