Maint Reqrd light
 

Ive got a 93 YJ wrangler and the Maint Required light is on.
Ive been told its because of the O2 sensor but its been changed and
the computer has not been reset. I have a printout of the diag. codes
and did the on, off, on, off, on thing with the ingnition and it gave
no significant codes, so I know all is fine. How do you get the light
to go out??
Ive disconnected the battery (for a long time, over night), I
even took it to the local jeep dealer and they wanted to charge me
1/2hr (~ $50) labor charge just to hook it up the their computer and
clear it, I know that might take 5 min. and thats if they have a
problem.
Any Ideas???

Thanks,
Rich

The light is turned on at approx 82,500 miles to tell you it's time to replace
the O2. Resetting the maintenance lamp mileage counter must be done with a DRB
II. I hear some aftermarket scanners can do it, but I have no experience with
them.

Or you can take the bulb out and throw it away.

The timer module is under the dash on the right side of the steering
column under the cruise module if you have one. It can be unplugged.
