To reset the maintenance light on GAC Trumpchi GS4, follow these steps: 1. Turn on the ignition switch; 2. Select the odometer mode on the dashboard; 3. Turn off the ignition switch; 4. Press and hold the dashboard button while turning on the ignition switch; 5. The odometer screen will display the timing belt maintenance mode. Use the adjustment button to select 15 or 20, then press and hold the button to confirm. Finally, turn off the ignition switch. Taking the Trumpchi GS4 2021 270T Manual Elite Edition as an example: The manufacturer of this vehicle is GAC Motor, classified as a compact SUV, equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, and features a 5-door, 5-seat SUV body type.

I've helped my friend with this issue many times. Resetting the maintenance light on the Trumpchi GS4 depends on the specific model year. For older models, first press the start button without stepping on the brake to power on the dashboard, then quickly press and hold the OK button on the left side of the steering wheel for about ten seconds until the wrench icon flashes a few times and disappears. Then release the button, power off, and restart. For newer models after 2020, the steps are similar but you need to press the TRIP button on the right side of the dashboard instead. If you can't remember, check the maintenance manual in the glove box—the manufacturer has printed detailed instructions. After resetting, make sure to confirm that the next maintenance mileage displays either 5,000 or 10,000 kilometers. This step is crucial, so don't skip it.

Last time during maintenance, I specifically asked the 4S technician. Actually, resetting the GS4 manually is quite simple. Turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, watch for the wrench symbol to appear on the dashboard, then immediately press and hold the small cylindrical button at the lower right corner of the dashboard (some models use the TRIP button). I found you need to press it firmly all the way down and hold for about 10 seconds until the maintenance reminder flashes three times and disappears before releasing. If there's no response no matter how you press it, it might be due to poor button contact or insufficient battery voltage. After successful reset, it's best to drive the car for a few hundred meters so the system can recalculate the mileage accurately. Also, a friendly reminder: resetting only clears the alert, you still need to change the engine oil and filter on time.

Here's a proven method to share with you: 1. Turn the key to the second position to power on; 2. Wait 5 seconds for the instrument panel to complete self-check; 3. Simultaneously press the accelerator and brake pedals to the floor and hold for 20 seconds; 4. Watch for the settings menu to appear on the instrument panel and select the oil life reset. Note that this method only applies to certain newer GS4 models and won't work on older versions. If you still can't manage it, there's a final ultimate trick—disconnect the negative battery terminal for 5 minutes and then reconnect it, which essentially forces a reboot of the onboard computer, and along with it, the maintenance light will go off. However, doing this will cause the radio station presets to be lost, so it's recommended to take photos for backup first.
