"MAINT" Message on 2003 GTX

[rjd]

Hey Guys! I started getting a "MAINT" Message and a red light that stayed on for a few seconds when I start on my 2003 GTX, but no code or anything. Oil is good, engine temp appears to be normal. What does this message mean? Any help will be appreciated!

They go off based on hours. Every 50 I believe. The last person that changed your oil should have reset it.

The only way I know of to reset it is with the programmer (trip to dealer). My local dealer charges $17.

Thank you so much! Based on this, I am guessing that they forgot to reset it when they serviced it at the end of last season. I will contact the dealer and see if I can get him to reset it for me.

Much appreciated!
