Maintenance Required light will not turn off
 

I have a 1992 Jeep Wrangler. i have flushed the engine coolant,
changed the oil, flushed the transmission fluids, a lube job, new
filter and still the Maintenance Require light will not turn off. Am I
missing something else?

When I took mine in for the same problem the tech told me they remove the
light at 120K miles.

Do you stop maintaing it then too?
*wink*

How about coolant levels?

Just curious, if it is being set by a code of some kind, then could you not
disconnect the battery for say - five to fifteen minutes and reset the whole
thing?

Of course you would lose the presets on your radio station and have to reset
the clock but.....

Nope, it's a mileage thing. It comes on at 82 or 82.5k ( U can't remember
for sure, and then again at 120k (unless you never had it reset from the
first time). I think they want you to change the O2 sensor IIRC, and pay
them to turn off your light.
