To reset the wrench light on Mitsubishi ASX: 1. Turn off the engine manually, press and hold the maintenance reset button with your left hand, then turn the key to the ON position with your right hand to power on the vehicle; 2. The multi-function dashboard will light up, showing the illuminated wrench symbol. Release the left hand and press the button on the left side of the dashboard to clear the wrench indicator. Taking the Mitsubishi ASX 2020 1.6L manual Fengshang edition as an example, it is a compact SUV launched by GAC Mitsubishi with dimensions of 4366mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1640mm in height, a wheelbase of 2670mm. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine delivering a maximum power of 91kw and maximum torque of 149nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Last time when driving the Mitsubishi ASX, I encountered the wrench light turning on and tried to clear it myself. The method is to get in the car, sit in the driver's seat, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, then look at the dashboard for the trip reset button, usually a small round button. Press and hold it for about 10 seconds without releasing, and the wrench symbol will flash a few times before disappearing. After completing the operation, remember to change the engine oil and perform routine maintenance, otherwise the light will come back on quickly. Doing it yourself is quite convenient and doesn't require any tools, but checking the vehicle condition is a crucial step. A friend taught me this trick and mentioned that if the steps aren't done correctly, the light might come back on, requiring you to repeat the process until the light goes off.
Eliminating the wrench symbol actually resets the maintenance reminder of the vehicle's computer. The specific operation involves turning the key to the ACC or ON position with the engine off, then pressing and holding the reset button on the dashboard until the indicator light flashes and goes out. The principle is that the system receives a manual reset signal. I recommend doing this after maintenance is completed; otherwise, it may lead to increased engine wear. Regularly use the dashboard to check other parameters, such as tire pressure and fuel consumption, to ensure the overall vehicle condition is normal. This approach saves money and avoids the hassle of repeated repairs.
