    I changed my oil and was going to reset the maintenance light. So I my key switch on and off several times. Wrong move, now I have a little round light that does a double flash pause, then double flash again. As soon as I turn the Ignition on it starts flashing. Driving, Stopping, Backing up, it doesn't matter. I dont have a book to look it up. Can someone advise me what to do To fix this issue....Please.

    Round with ! In the middle? That's the TPMS
    Tire pressure monitoring system.
    To rest oil change. Hold the trip meter. Turn key to the on position and u will see a countdown in the trip box.

    That looks like it may be aftermarket, maybe a security system?

    Possible aftermarket alarm inadvertently set to valet mode. Turn the key to the ON position (do not start the engine) and then to the off position three times in rapid succession. Should put it back to normal mode.

    After scouring the forum forever I came across this thread and it worked!

    2nd gen OEM stock alarm.

    Now the lock on the key fob makes a light horn honk when locked to confirm its locked.
