What Does the Wrench Light on the Dashboard Mean?
1 Answers
The small wrench is a maintenance indicator light, not a sign of vehicle malfunction. It serves as a maintenance reminder. The purpose of the maintenance indicator is to alert the driver to perform vehicle maintenance after a certain mileage has been reached. When the small wrench light illuminates, it is advisable to visit a 4S dealership for servicing. Note that different manufacturers set varying maintenance intervals, so the timing of when the wrench light appears should be referenced in the vehicle's owner manual. To reset the "small wrench" indicator, follow these steps: 1. Insert the key, but do not turn it. 2. Press and hold the trip meter reset button for 5-10 seconds, then turn the key to the "ON" position. 3. After another 5-10 seconds, start the engine. Continue holding the reset button throughout this entire process without releasing it.
