I ran into the same thing, not at a multiple of 82,500 miles, either, although it is possible that he odometer was messed with before I got this Jeep. Note that the O2 sensor had just been replaced about a month prior. Anyway, I pulled the bulb (it is a grain of wheat type) and put it accross 120 volts AC, just to blow the filiment, and put it back. That way I can always plede innocent with the smog Nazis.

Re: Maint Reqrd light
The computer turns on the light at approx 82,500 miles to tell you to do
emission system maintenance. It is just what it says it is, a maintenance reminder. It won't tell you if something has gone wrong. If you're going to ignore it anyway, what's the difference?
