How to reset the maintenance light on SAIC Maxus V80?

[McKevin]

Turn off the ignition switch. Press and hold the odometer hour reset button simultaneously. After ignition, the prompt message will still be displayed. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the odometer hour reset button for about 3 seconds. The prompt message will disappear, and the maintenance light reset will be completed.

I've serviced quite a few SAIC Maxus V80s, and resetting the maintenance light isn't actually difficult. First, turn off the engine, then press and hold the menu button on the right side of the steering wheel without releasing it. Next, turn the key to the ignition position but don't start the engine. At this point, the instrument cluster will display the setup menu. Use the volume buttons to navigate to the vehicle settings, select maintenance reset, and confirm. The operation needs to be performed smoothly; if the power is cut off, it might fail. Remember, resetting only clears the reminder system—you still need to change the engine oil and filter on schedule. If repeated reset attempts fail, it might indicate a control module issue, and it's recommended to visit a 4S店 for diagnosis with a professional computer. Always remember to reset after maintenance; otherwise, the light will keep flashing, which can be annoying.

I've been driving the Maxus V80 for logistics for five or six years, and I always reset the maintenance light myself. Turn the key all the way off, press and hold the confirmation button on the steering wheel with your right hand, then turn the key with your left hand until the dashboard lights up. When the English menu appears on the screen, keep holding the button until it shows 'reset successful.' The button position on my steering wheel is different from the old model—the new one is on the right-hand scroll wheel here. Even after resetting, don’t get careless; the necessary maintenance still needs to be done. Truck engines are most vulnerable when maintenance cycles are missed. I always stick to the mileage for oil changes and take it to the shop on time. The truck is my livelihood—can’t afford to be sloppy.

I've researched the V80 maintenance light reset, and the key lies in finding the correct button combination. For older models, it's holding down the instrument cluster reset button after turning off the ignition; for newer models, you need to use the right-side menu button on the steering wheel along with the confirmation button. Make sure not to start the engine during the operation, and avoid touching any buttons on the center console. Using a diagnostic tool for reset is the most thorough method, as it can also check for trouble codes. If you're doing it yourself, it's recommended to perform the reset in the morning when the battery voltage is stable. After resetting, it's advisable to drive on the highway for two hours to allow the system to self-check, as some sensors need to relearn mileage data. This feature on the car is quite user-friendly, and following the maintenance prompts can extend the engine's lifespan.
