How to reset the wrench light on Tiggo 5?

[GarrettRose]

There is a button below the engine tachometer on the dashboard. Press and hold this button, then turn the ignition switch to ON position. After 3 seconds, release the button to reset the wrench light. Here are relevant details: 1. The wrench icon is a maintenance reminder light. 2. The maintenance schedule (interval/duration) and service items are specified in the appendix of the vehicle's maintenance manual. 3. Vehicle maintenance refers to preventive work involving regular inspection, cleaning, replenishment, lubrication, adjustment or replacement of certain components, also known as automotive servicing. Modern vehicle maintenance primarily covers engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. The purpose of car maintenance is to maintain vehicle cleanliness, ensure proper technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent malfunctions, slow deterioration processes, and extend service life.

The other day I also encountered the Tiggo 5 dashboard popping up with a little wrench, just like a nagging little housekeeper reminding you it’s time for maintenance. Actually, getting rid of it is super simple. After the maintenance, don’t rush to drive. First, turn the key to the power-off position. Then, hold down the TRIP button on the lower left of the steering wheel without letting go, while using your other hand to turn the key to the power-on position (don’t start the engine). At this point, the dashboard will dim and then light up again. Wait about 10 seconds, and the little wrench symbol will disappear on its own. Remember to wait until the mileage is displayed again before releasing the button. If your car isn’t the top trim, the button might be on the side of the dashboard, but the method is pretty much the same. If the operation fails, it’s probably because you didn’t hold the button long enough—just try it again a couple more times and it’ll work for sure.

In our workshop, we often encounter Tiggo owners asking about this small wrench icon, which is actually the intelligent maintenance reminder. The key to eliminating it lies in the reset procedure: First, turn off the engine, lock the car, and wait five minutes to allow the system to fully enter sleep mode. Second, get back in the car without pressing the brake pedal, and directly press and hold the start button for three seconds to enter the power-on mode. Third, locate the TRIP button with a small arrow on the left side of the steering wheel, press and hold it firmly while keeping your eyes on the instrument cluster. After about five seconds, you'll see the entire instrument cluster flash twice, and the small wrench symbol will disappear completely. This method works best for Tiggo 5 models from the 2016 version onwards; older models might require simultaneously pressing the instrument cluster's clock adjustment knob. If sweaty hands cause slipping, wipe your fingers with a wet wipe before operating.

The small wrench light indicates that your car is reminding you it's time for maintenance. The reset operation can be completed within 3 minutes. After turning off the engine, simply press and hold the small button with the mileage indicator in the lower right corner of the dashboard without releasing it. Then, use your other hand to turn the key to the ACC position, watch the dashboard until the numbers start flashing, and then release the button. If you can't find the button location, check page 78 of the user manual for detailed illustrations. In fact, there's no need to make a special trip to the 4S shop; you can easily do it yourself. If there's no response after three consecutive attempts, it might be because the mechanic forgot to reset the onboard computer after the last maintenance.

After the last maintenance, the wrench light stayed on, so I followed my friend's method to reset it myself: First, turn off the engine and engage the handbrake, then press and hold the small black cylindrical button on the steering wheel (the one used to toggle trip data). With the other hand, turn the key to the ignition-on position—you'll hear a ticking sound from the dashboard. Keep holding the button while watching the screen; after about 7 seconds, the wrench icon suddenly disappears. The whole process is faster than buckling your seatbelt. A quick tip: It's best to wear your seatbelt during this just in case. Some people prefer doing it at gas stations, but the strong gasoline smell there can be distracting. Doing it myself saved at least half a day compared to visiting a service center.

The wrench icon on the Tiggo 5 is essentially an external display of the maintenance counter, and the key to eliminating it lies in resetting the vehicle's computer memory. After maintenance, first ensure the engine is completely cooled, then sit in the driver's seat and close the door. Press and hold the button at the top of the left control lever while turning the key to the second position (dashboard fully lit). Do not release immediately; maintain pressure and observe the LCD screen, typically the icon will automatically turn off within 20 seconds. It's best to perform this operation during bright daylight, as insufficient lighting in underground garages may make it difficult to see screen changes. This method applies to both automatic and manual transmission models, and it's advisable to clean any dust from the button gaps before operation.
