How to reset the maintenance wrench on Great Wall Fengjun 5?
4 Answers
Turn off the car, press and hold the right button on the dashboard (the reset button), then turn on the ignition switch while keeping the reset button pressed for several seconds. Enter the reset mode, then you can release the reset button. Within 20 seconds of releasing the reset button, press the left button on the dashboard to confirm the reset. At this point, the maintenance light will return to its normal display mode, meaning the flashing maintenance light has been reset.
Last time when I encountered the maintenance wrench warning while driving my Fengjun 5, I specifically consulted an experienced mechanic at the repair shop. He said the procedure is extremely simple: First, turn the key to the OFF position to cut power to the entire vehicle, then press and hold the reset button on the right side of the dashboard without releasing it. Simultaneously, turn the key to the ON position to power up the instrument panel. At this point, make sure not to start the engine, and watch for a countdown prompt on the dashboard. After about 10 seconds, the wrench symbol will disappear. This trick works every time, but the mechanic emphasized that it must be done after maintenance, otherwise the next maintenance cycle won't be accurate. When doing DIY maintenance, remember to check the condition of the engine oil and filter, because while dashboard warnings are helpful, the actual condition of the car is what matters most.
I also encountered the small wrench warning light when driving my Fengjun 5 on long-distance trips. It's actually not difficult to clear it yourself. First, completely turn off and power down the vehicle. Locate the small dot button below the instrument cluster and press it firmly while turning the key to the ACC position with your other hand. The LCD screen will then display a countdown. Count silently to about 8 seconds before releasing the button, and the warning light will go off. Remember not to step on the brake pedal during this operation, otherwise the engine will start. Essentially, this small wrench is just a maintenance reminder alarm, but actual vehicle wear depends on specific operating conditions. So after clearing the light, don't neglect necessary maintenance like replacing the three filters.
I have verified the method to reset the maintenance reminder for the Great Wall Wingle 5 several times: First, turn off the engine and cut the power. Then, press and hold the button on the right side of the instrument panel without releasing it, and turn the key to the ON position to power on. Wait for about 10 seconds until the countdown ends, and the wrench light will disappear. The entire process requires no tools and can be completed with both hands in less than 30 seconds. It is recommended to perform this step on the day of each maintenance service, which not only prevents forgetting the maintenance schedule but also keeps the instrument panel tidy. The most crucial aspect of vehicle maintenance is still the regular replacement of engine oil and oil filters; these small reminders are merely auxiliary functions.
