Wrong.

The maintenance required light is not ECU controlled. You do not have to reset the ECU codes to make the light go off...

And besides, you cannot reset the ECU codes by disconnecting the battery on our cars... the ECU has an internal battery backup.

OP: Read the FAQ... there is a DIY on how to turn it off in there. That light is there to remind you, that according to the mileage on the car, regular, routine maintenance is scheduled on the car....

How many miles are on the car as of right now?

Then it would be telling you it is about time for the regular 60k or 65k mile routine maintenance, which I would suggest doing, or having it done.

If you want to turn it off, ther is a DIY in the FAQ thread, stickied up top.
