maint required light you can shut off by reading the FAQ. they have it stated in there.

as for the CEL, id get it pulled instead of just letting it sit. you never know what it could be. you dont even have a code so we cant tell you what it can be

Error: Insufficient information.

Like they said maintenance required (usually routine maintenance, usually at set mileage points) can be reset.

CEL should be read so you can identify the problem.

full throttle


motorcycles, dirtbikes, mopeds = pin, pinning it etc...

automobiles = flooring it, punch it, get on it, etc...


=]]


hopefully this helped clear something up??
