What to Do When the Wrench Light Appears on the Vehicle Dashboard?

Vehicle dashboard shows wrench processing method as follows: 1. If the vehicle is under normal maintenance, you can completely remove the "small wrench" symbol by yourself. The following are the steps to eliminate it: (1) Insert the key, but only insert it, do not turn it. (2) Hold the operating lever next to the odometer for 5-10 seconds, then turn on the power. (3) After another 5-10 seconds, start the car. During this process, keep pressing the operating lever and do not let go. Generally, after the above steps, the small wrench symbol can be cleared. If it is not cleared, repeat the same process a few more times. 2. If the vehicle has not been properly maintained for a long time, go to the 4S store for maintenance. After going to the repair company for maintenance, reset the maintenance items, and the indicator light will go out until the next maintenance is needed, when it will light up again. If it is not reset, even if maintenance is done, the indicator light will still be on.
A wrench icon appearing on the dashboard indicates it's time for maintenance. Last time I encountered this, I checked the manual and found it was a preset system reminder unrelated to the actual condition of the car. It's best to review recent maintenance records—if it's been over six months or 5,000 kilometers since the last oil change, you should visit the 4S shop. During maintenance, remember to ask the technician to reset the reminder system. Some car models allow you to do this yourself: turn off the engine, hold the trip reset button, then power on for ten seconds. A friend of mine learned the hard way—after maintenance, the light remained on because the system wasn't reset, requiring an extra trip. Also, check the cabin air filter and brake pads; these items can be handled during routine maintenance, making it more convenient than doing them separately.
