Default CHECK ENGINE light

Less than 25,000 miles on Crossfire 2008. When I start the car up in the odometer area two wrenches appear and it reads -731. The check engine light came on today and stayed on.

It means your car is due for a ‘double wrench’ check up. You can do that yourself and reset the readout to 5,000 miles which will disappear and revert to the previous readout.
The CEL, I am not sure if it is connected to the double wrench sign or not. You probably missed the wrenches until the CEL made them catch your eye.

The instructions are on this forum, search using ‘FSS’.
Or use Google ‘Crossfire FSS’.

This should do it:
1. Turn key to the ON/Run position.

2. Within one second press the ****/button twice.

3. The present status for days or distance is displayed. Within 10 seconds turn the key to OFF.

4. Press and hold the ****/button, while turning the key to ON/RUN again. The present status for days or distance is displayed once more. Continue to hold the ****/button.

After approximately 10 seconds, a signal sounds and the display shows 7,000 miles for approximately 10 seconds.

5. Release the ****/button.

Keep in mind, my first Crossfire and my Graphite (both 05s) were easy to reset. My current (07) SE is hard as hell to reset, takes several attempts.

What in God's name is the ****/button? Thanks.

I think it's the mileage reset ****/button, no?
