How do I reset the maintenance required light on an '05?
I can't find the info in the manual.

1. Key OFF
2. Press and hold trip reset knob for the odometer
3. Key ON (don't start the car, and still holding the reset knob for about 5 to 10 secs)

That resets the maintenance light for my car. It might work for you.

Take the ECU fuse out for a minute.

I don't have that start problem on my '05.
I'm not touching that ECU anything,Ren

Take the fuse out for a minute like I said and it resets the ECU back to normal.

none of that "put one leg up in the air, then hold it with your hand while you touch your nose with the other hand" bullshit
