Based on signals received from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). the microcomputer in the maintenance reminder unit,which is located behind the dashboard lower cover, computes the distances traveled. When you turn the ignition switchON (ll), the reminder light in the gauge assembly will come on for two seconds (bulb check tunction). At 9,650 1 160km {6,000 1 1O0 miles} intervals, the reminder light will glow for two seconds and then blink ten seconds after you
turn the ignition switch ON (ll). This will repeat every rime you turn the ignition switch ON {ll) until rhe car reaches12,O7O ! 1 60 km (7,500 t 100 miles).
Beyond the 12.o1O ! 160 km (7,5OO t IOO mile) interval, the light will continue to glow after the bulb check untilyou turn the ignition switch otf or reset the unit.
To reset the unit, the car must be parked and the ignition switch must be ON (ll). Press the reset button on the unitfor more than three seconds, and the reminder light will go off.
NOTE:
. Turn the ignition switch OFF before you remove the 5P connector from the maintenance reminder unit, otherwise vouwiil cancel all data in the memory.
a The data will remain in the memory even when the ignition switch is turned off, or if the unit is disconnected. Whenthe ignition switch is turned ON (lll, and the car is driven, additional data will be stored.

How the Circuit Works
The maintenance reminder light comes on to
remind the driver that the car is due for
scheduled mainlenance.
The maintenance reminder unit receives a vehicle
speed input from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
and uses this inlormation to compute the distance
traveled. For the first 6000 t 1 00 miles (9650 t 160
km) after the maintenance reminder light is reset, it
will come on for two seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to ON (ll) as a bulb check.
Between 6000 1 100 miles (9650 t 160 km) and
7500 t 100 miles (12070 I 160 km) the reminder
light will come on for two seconds when you turn
the ignition switch to ON (ll), and then flash for eight
seconds more.
Beyond 7500 t 100 miles (12070 t l60 km) the
reminder light will stay on when the ignition switch is
in the ON (ll) position until the unit is reset.
To reset the unit, the car must be parked and the
ignition switch in the ON (ll) position. Press the
reset button on the unit and hold it there for more
than three seconds, and the reminder light will
go off.
