    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    Did you check the engine first? I haven't read the manual, have you looked in there? I know it tells how to reset the Maintenance Reqd light. I'll be heading out in a bit I'll take a look.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Disconnect the negative battery cable. You should get the code read though. Tell us what it is and we can help you.

    To reset the maintenance required light:
    1) Cycle trip meter to the Odometer
    2) Hold in trip button
    3) Turn off ignition
    4) Turn ignition back on DO NOT START THE TRUCK
    5) Odometer should start look like this 000000 --> -00000 --> --0000 --> ---000 --> ----00 --> -----0 --> ------
