Default 06 S2K maintenance light

I do the maintenance on my 2006 S2k myself. I can't figure out how to shut the mantenance light off. The trick for the older model S2K's doesn't work on the 2006. (hold the button, turn the keys on and wait 30 seconds)

Anyone know how it's done?

The remaining engine oil life (A) is shown as a percentage in the information display.

To see the current engine oil life, turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, then push and release the TRIP button repeatedly until the engine oil life displays.


Resetting the Maintenance Information Display
NOTE:

The vehicle must be stopped to reset the display.

If a required service is done and the display is not reset, or if the maintenance display is reset without doing the service, the system will not show the proper maintenance timing.

This can lead to serious mechanical problems because there will be no accurate record of when the required maintenance is needed.

Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position.

Press release the TRIP button repeatedly until the engine oil life indicator is displayed.

Press and hold the TRIP button for about 10 seconds.

The engine oil life indicator and the maintenance item code(s) will blink.

NOTE: If you are resetting the display when the engine oil life is more than 15 %, make sure any maintenance item(s) requiring service are done before resetting the display.

Press and hold the TRIP button for another 5 seconds. The maintenance item codes(s) will disappear, and the engine oil life will reset to ''100''.

The maintenance item cods(s) will disappear, and the engine oil life will reset to ''100''.

Thanks! you the man

another quick question..
I'm at 20K mi. Should I drain/fill the diff?
What fluid should I use for this? I'd assume the drain and fill is pretty straight forward..
but I've never had a RWD car untill now.

I think 30k is the recommended interval for a diff fluid service.
