1989 Chrysler New Yorker Landau Service Reminder Light? - 03/14/13 08:47 PM
My Dad has owned the car since new, It has the electronic dash. An area that says "service reminder" came on. I have dones several searches and have not found an answer. Anyone know what it means? How to make it go away?

Some of those in that era were reminder lights that tripped on at a designated mileage on the odometer... did not mean that anything was wrong, just time for service.

Does his have the digital message center with the button you press that does a status check of the whole car? Like lights, brake fluid, washer fluid, etc? A few did have a variety of sensors that monitored all kinds of things that the garden variety versions did not.

Those things back them were a pain.They are just a reminder not a check engine lite.Programed to come on at certain milage etc.Some had a reset button some had a battery that had to be changed.Been a long time since Ive worked on one.Google search for reminder lite for the car and it should tell you how to reset it.Rocky

It was either 89 or 90 where they started making it that in order to reset that lite (message) you had to do it with the scanner. I will try to double check as I cant remember off the top of my head which year it changed. Up to that year most had a little plastic box (about 2" x 2") behind the dash that had to be reset. Usually needed a paper clip to push a tab in the little hole in the box and some also took a new 9 volt battery. It is as was said just a reminder lite to check the emission systems. Ron

Ron I remember one that had a switch you had to flip also.I know on some you had to take the front off the dash to get to.Seems I do remember some that you could use the scanner on.Been probally 20 years since Ive done one.Rocky
