Is it ok to reset the maintenance required light on your car yourself?

I see vids on YouTube but I don't want to mess up anything.

**My car has already had an oil change and tire rotation within the last 3 months.

Apparently they did not reset the light

I don't want to waste time waiting on them to do it. If I can do it myself without messing anything else up then I'd like to

I wouldn't without fault diagnosis first. If it's stayed on after servicing by a mechanic they need to re-check first before disabling it, in my opinion.

I reset mine all the time..
If your car allows you to reset it as mine does than go ahead and do it.

I usually reset the light knowing full well my cars been out in heavy rain which triggers this warning light and in all cases the light has stayed off if it was to come back on within a few miles then I would consider there was something serious wrong.

Go back to where your car was serviced, tell them what happened, and have them reset it.

@Koggg Lol. Apparently you're also completely insane. No worries though, many of us are.

@MarmeeMarch not sure where you picked up on anger. There was absolutely none there. He mentioned BS repair bills. All I wanted to know is if he saw people being taken advantage of, i.e, customers being charged for 'repairs' that weren't needed in the first place. I can understand how things can be misread and wrongly interpreted.
