Buick Excelle wrench malfunction light reset method is as follows: 1. Start the car first; 2. Press the "Menu" button on the turn signal switch; 3. Then use the adjustment wheel and select the menu "Vehicle Information System"; 4. Use the adjustment wheel again and select the menu "Oil Life System"; 5. Then press the "SET/CTR" (Set/Clear) button on the turn signal switch while stepping on the brake pedal; 6. The wrench malfunction light will be reset. Below is an introduction to the Buick Excelle: 1. The new Buick Excelle is equipped with two powertrain combinations: a 1.3T dual-injection turbocharged engine + 6-speed DSS intelligent dual-clutch transmission and a 1.0T dual-injection turbocharged engine + 6-speed DCG intelligent dual-clutch transmission. 2. The former has a maximum power of 120kW/5500RPM and a peak torque of 230N.m/1800~4400, while the latter has a maximum power of 92kW/5600RPM and a peak torque of 170N·m/1700-4400RPM.
Recently, my Buick Excelle also had the little wrench light come on, which really worried me. After consulting a few experienced mechanics, I learned that this is the maintenance reminder light. The method to reset it is actually quite simple: First, turn off the engine, then press and hold the checkmark button on the right side of the steering wheel without releasing it. Next, turn the key to the ignition-on position (the position where the dashboard lights up but the engine doesn't start). Continue holding the button for about 5 seconds, and the little wrench light will disappear. However, the key point is to address the maintenance issue first—this light usually reminds you that it's time to change the oil or that you've driven 5,000 km without maintenance. If you reset the light without performing the maintenance, it's like hitting the snooze button and continuing to sleep, which can cause serious damage to the car. I recommend performing this reset step only after each maintenance service for the safest approach.
