maint required light

[hotrice]

someone help me out here. my car just five thousand miles and as soon as it did the typical maint light came on. i was wondering if anyone knew how to reset this light without having to take the car back to the dealership.

try disconnectiong your battry for like 2 min so it resets the computer.

tried that didn't work. i have tried holding the brake down for a minute or so that doesn't seem to work either everyone is coming at me with these different solutions but i can't seem to get one that actually works.

Try this.
With the key to off.
hold your trip button.
Then turn your key to on just so the lights on the dash light up and keep holding the trip button for 5 sec. (but not with the engine running).
Then you will see the 5 lines on the dash count down.
Then start the car and it will be gone.
