Service (wrench ) light...just bought car

It's not a maintenance reminder light, it's a malfunction indicator light. It indicates a non-emissions-related problem, like with something controlled by the body computer module. You'd need to scan the codes to know what it was.

The code should be checked since it may be something big. More auto parts stores are doing free code scans, like AutoZone. They hope you will buy the needed parts from them if they sell them. But at least you will know what the code is trying to tell you. Good luck.

Thanks for all the helpful info. We bought this off an auto wholesaler. We probably should have been a little less naive about this. If it proves to be something....I will have words! We do have a limited service warranty for 3 mo/3000 miles.

I went to two AutoZones. One could not scan it, the other did, but the scan showed nothing. He forwarded me to a local auto shop that is run by a buy that used to work for GM. I have an appointment with him for disgnostics.

I don't believe the light is a maintenance light, it is an indicator of something malfunctioning. Get the codes scanned and see what they say.

Did you buy the car from a used car dealership or from an individual? Either way I would definitly have words with them.

On my 2003 the wrench and oil can combo light means to change oil soon. It also shows how to reset the light after the oil change. There is a red button in the fuse box under the hood marked "R OIL" you put car key in the run mark on ignition (don't start car) and hold the button down for 5 seconds.
