How to reset the maintenance light on BJ40?

[VonJason]

First, press the start button to turn on the power without starting the engine, then press the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it for more than 5 seconds. Then, press the start button to turn off the power, release the accelerator pedal, and wait for 2 minutes until you hear a sound, indicating that the maintenance light has been reset.

Regarding the BJ40 maintenance light reset, I remember doing it myself last time. After parking the car steadily, don't start the engine, just turn the key to the second position to light up the dashboard. Then, locate the small button near the steering wheel, usually labeled TRIP or reset, and hold it down for about 10 to 15 seconds. You'll see the maintenance indicator light gradually turn off. This step is actually quite simple, mainly resetting the maintenance reminder counter. But don't forget, after resetting, you must actually go to the shop for maintenance. Don't just reset the light and ignore it, as that's not good for the car. My friend often neglects this, and as a result, his car has a lot of minor issues. Regular maintenance can extend the car's lifespan, make driving safer, and save the hassle of repairs.

I've had my BJ40 for two years and reset the maintenance light a few times. The process is quite simple: Sit in the driver's seat, turn the key to the accessory position without starting the engine (just make sure all dashboard lights are on), then press and hold the button on the instrument panel for a few seconds until the indicator light turns off automatically. It's a quick process, somewhat like rebooting a phone's settings. After resetting, the system will start recording mileage from zero again. However, I recommend getting a check-up at the 4S shop before resetting to ensure there are no underlying issues. Modern vehicles rely on this reminder system for maintenance management, but it's not entirely reliable - the best practice is to regularly check your fluid conditions yourself.

The key to resetting the BJ40's maintenance reminder light lies in resetting the alert module. General procedure: Keep the vehicle stationary, turn the key to the ON position, hold down the TRIP button for a while until the light goes off. This design helps owners track maintenance intervals—avoid resetting it arbitrarily to prevent false alerts. Operate safely; never attempt this while driving.

The maintenance reminder light is for safe driving. If not reset, it can be distracting to always see the light on while driving. The method is quite straightforward: after parking and turning off the engine, turn the key to the ACC position, then press and hold the dashboard button until the light goes off. Stay steady during the process and avoid rushing. After that, schedule a check-up as soon as possible to ensure there are no issues with the brakes or engine. Proper maintenance intervals help keep your car running longer with fewer problems.

Many people in the forum are discussing the BJ40 maintenance light reset, and I personally found it effective. Basic steps: Turn the key to the ON position until the dashboard lights up, locate the reset button such as TRIP and hold it for 10 seconds to reset. If it doesn't work, consult the manual or seek help from a shop. I recommend checking the vehicle condition every six months, don't just rely on the light reminder, and using good engine oil can reduce wear.
