How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a Nissan Murano?

[AlainaFitz]

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.

After the last service, the technician forgot to reset the indicator light for me, so I figured it out myself. First, completely turn off the car, press and hold the trip reset button on the left side of the steering wheel with your finger, then rotate the key to power on the dashboard. When you see the indicator light flashing, release the button and quickly press it again for three to four seconds, and the service reminder light will go off. The latest models actually have a more intuitive reset option in the settings menu on the center console, but be careful not to press the brake pedal during the operation, as it might start the engine. The whole process takes less than ten seconds, much easier than I thought.

The Murano maintenance light reset is a two-step process: First, with the engine off, locate the reset button on the instrument panel or steering wheel and hold it down firmly. Then, turn the key to the second position (power on but engine off) – as soon as the instrument panel lights up, release the button and immediately press it again, holding for 5-6 seconds until the indicator light turns off. For newer touchscreen models, access the vehicle settings via the menu button on the right side of the steering wheel, select the maintenance reset function, and confirm. Always engage the parking brake for safety during this procedure.

As a Nissan technician who frequently services Muranos, I handle several maintenance reset procedures daily. The traditional method involves pressing the trip reset button with the key OFF, then turning the key to ON position until all dashboard lights illuminate, releasing and repressing the button - the indicator light will definitely turn off within five seconds. Note that newer models use more intuitive multifunction steering wheel controls: after starting, press the MENU button to access settings, scroll to find the maintenance reset option and confirm. The critical point is to avoid brake pedal activation during the operation. Additionally, some older models require triple rapid presses of the reset button - while the effect is identical, the methods differ.

To reset the maintenance light on my 2016 Murano, here's how: After turning off the engine, press and hold the small cylindrical button on the dashboard, then turn the key to the position where all instrument lights illuminate. At this point, release your finger and immediately press and hold the button again, counting silently to five seconds until you see the yellow light flash and go off. For models with a multifunction steering wheel, it's even easier: press the menu button on the steering wheel to navigate to the vehicle settings section, find the maintenance reset option, and confirm. The button positions may vary slightly depending on the model year. It's recommended to perform this operation while the vehicle is stationary in a parking lot. The safest option is to have a professional technician reset it during regular maintenance.
