How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a Nissan Murano?
2 Answers
Here is the method to reset the maintenance light for the Nissan Murano model: 1. With the engine off, press and hold the short-distance trip counter reset button located below the tachometer. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then release the short-distance trip counter reset button. The display will show the 'SERVICE' indicator. 3. Pull out the minute button on the clock and turn it to the right. The odometer reading will appear on the display. 4. Turn the engine off to reset the reminder message. 5. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position again, and the 'SERVICE' indicator will disappear. 6. The 'SERVICE' indicator on the instrument panel display is a maintenance cycle reminder. When the ignition is in the ON position, the 'SERVICE' indicator will flash, and it will disappear after starting the engine, indicating that the vehicle requires maintenance. After maintenance, the maintenance light should be reset.
I've been driving the Murano for over three years and have performed the maintenance light reset operation several times. For older models, the method is to turn off the ignition switch, hold down the TRIP RESET button on the dashboard without releasing, turn the key to the ON position but do not start the engine. Wait until various indicator lights on the dashboard illuminate, then release the button and immediately press and hold it again. After about 5 seconds, you'll see the maintenance indicator light start flashing and then turn off. The newer version with a central control screen is simpler—just operate the menu button on the steering wheel, enter the vehicle settings, and find the maintenance reset option. The specific button positions vary slightly depending on the model year, so it's recommended to check the vehicle manual first. If you can't find it, just visit the 4S store and let the technician help—they can get it done in about thirty seconds.
