I plug my wire into each slot on the blue plug, when i turn ignition on. The maintenance light blinks(always does) abs blinks, and so does my check engine light.

Why is the ABS blinking, and why is the REQD MAINT blinking all the time when I turn ignition?

 

Not sure what your syaing. Is your ABS blinking constantly or is it when you turn the car on then it goes out?

Same with the Maint Light. Does it flash once or does it blink for a minute or two and then go out?

If you can clear that up i can help you.

 

How long has the Maint Req. light been flashing like that when you turn on the car? It's normal for it to do that before it stays on solid. I believe it stays on for a couple hundred miles, then it becomes solid.

If your ABS light is blinking, then your ABS system is also throwing a code. You check it the same way as the Check Engine light.

 

Well I justgot the car for cheap 4 days ago or so. My REQD MAINT light blinks for a min or 2 and my blinks for a min or 2 just like the check engine, the abs and check engine blink only when im using the blue plug, the reqd maint does it all the time when I turn on the ignition, sorry for late reply.

Okay, only 4 days. Like I said, the Maint Req. light will blink for a while. After a few hundred miles, it will come on solid when you turn on the car. It's just a notification to get service done, it doesn't mean anything is wrong with the car. It is set to go off automatically every set number of miles (about 3750 or so).

There is a button under the dash of the driver's side that lets you reset it.

Okay, so did you check the codes? Do you know how to check for them? There is a sticky on the top of this forum showing you how to do it, and how to read the codes.

 

EDIT

Im only throwing code 41, primary oxygen sensor heater, i checked it and the pins are puled out of the plug, is there a way to put the pins back, or do I hafta buy a new one?
