Here is the method to reset the maintenance light on Beijing BJ40: 1. Turn on the ignition. 2. Select Beijing Auto V11.30 or higher version. 3. Choose [Traditional Diagnosis]. 4. Under [Beijing Auto], select [BJ40L (2018 Model) Series] and then the [BJ40PLUS (Gasoline Version)] model. 5. Select [Quick Test] to scan the entire vehicle system status, then choose [System Selection] (either method is acceptable), and enter [IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster)] system. 6. Select [Special Functions]. 7. Choose [Maintenance Mileage Setting], input the next maintenance mileage, and the maintenance light will turn off upon successful execution.

I also drive a BJ40, and resetting the maintenance light isn’t difficult. First, don’t rush to start the engine—park the car in a safe spot and look for the “OK” button or a checkmark-shaped confirmation button on the steering wheel controls. While the engine is off, hold down this button without releasing it, and with your other hand, turn the key to the ignition-on position (dashboard lights up but don’t start the engine). At this point, a menu might pop up on the screen. Keep holding the OK button with your left hand, and use your right hand to scroll through the menu using the up/down buttons near the steering wheel. Find the “Maintenance” or “SERVICE” option, select it, and choose reset. If you have an older model without these buttons, try holding down the small round button on the right side of the instrument cluster—the steps are similar. If you still can’t manage it, you’ll likely need an OBD tool, which won’t cost much at a local repair shop. Before attempting any DIY steps, it’s best to check the manual in the glove box, as the procedure may vary slightly depending on the model year.

Last time I reset the maintenance light on my BJ40 after servicing, here's my practical experience. First, completely turn off the engine until the dashboard goes completely dark. Press and hold the confirmation button on the right side of the steering wheel with your finger, keeping it pressed without moving. At the same time, use your other hand to turn the key to the ACC position (or press the start button twice for keyless ignition). Wait for about six or seven seconds until the dashboard displays an English interface. Continue holding the confirmation button while using your thumb to scroll the wheel button under the steering wheel to navigate to the vehicle settings menu. Select the maintenance reset option, and the screen prompt will disappear once successful. Be careful not to press the volume buttons on the steering wheel by mistake, as button positions may vary across different models. There's no need to press the brake pedal during the entire process, and the vehicle doesn't need to be started. If the dashboard doesn't respond, check if the buttons are stuck. If it still doesn’t work, you can always visit the 4S shop to have the system reset—technicians can easily do it for you after servicing anyway.

Resetting the BJ40 maintenance light is straightforward: After turning off the engine, hold down the confirmation button on the right side of the steering wheel without releasing, turn the key to the ON position (do not start the engine), and once the instrument menu pops up, enter the maintenance settings to reset. For some models, you may need to locate a physical button on the instrument panel, typically found below the tachometer. The entire process takes about ten seconds. Remember to perform the operation on level ground to prevent the vehicle from rolling, and ensure the parking brake is engaged. If the operation fails, it might be due to incorrect button pressing or the vehicle entering sleep mode; in such cases, power off the vehicle for a few minutes and try again. If unsure about the model year, you can look up tutorials online using the VIN. For the most reliable method, keep an OBD scanner handy—plugging it in will allow you to reset the light directly.
