maintainance required light flashing
whenever i start my teg, the maint. req'd light comes on and flashes exactly 10 times.
what exactly does this mean? does it come on at a certin milage?
it's not throwing any CEL codes

Re: maintainance required light flashing (hott-nix)
it means you are coming up on a scheduled maintenence. How many miles are on the car?
It doesn't mean there is something wrong with the car.

it's telling you it is ready for your regularly scheduled maintenance. if you don't care about taking it to the dealer and you wanna perform this yourself, just look for the small square button under your dash, kinda by the sterring wheel, turn the key on w/ out starting the car, and hold the button til it comes on then goes off. problem solved.

You have to push the button in while it is still flashing. Hold the button in for at least 10 seconds. You actually can do this even with the car running. The key is that the light has to be either blinking or on for you to clear it.
BTW- You should be able to find a little black box with a little blue or red button. It is under the dash kinda near your right knee. (It's up and behind the dash, it shouldn't be too hard to find...)

Will you make something up for me please?

Months? After a while, the lights stays on constant.
The key doesn't have to be on 2 clicks, the car can be on. Just hold it down until the light goes away.
