This should work to reset your light if your trip and odometer reading are digital. If they are analog, sorry don't know how to reset. I don't know if it is illegal, it is there for you as a reminder to maintain your car, it is for your use only. But it should not be that hard to reset it yourself. We have a Tundra that the 'maint needed' light comes on. It is programmed to come on every 5000 miles as a reminder. This is how we reset ours: 1. Turn key to accessory port only (where everything comes on, but the engine does not) 2. Push reset button to change from the 'trip meter' to your odometer reading. Press and HOLD the button while odometer reading is diplayed. DON'T LET GO OF THE RESET BUTTON. 3. Turn key off while STILL HOLDING THE RESET BUTTON. 4. Turn key back on to the accessory port again WHILE STILL HOLDING THE RESET BUTTON. The odometer reading should change to a 00000000 or ----------. 5. You are now done. The light will come back on in 5000 miles again to remind you to change oil and ?????
