What Does the Wrench Mean?
Have you ever turned on your Mazda’s ignition and noticed a wrench light up on your dashboard? If so, here’s what it means! Every time you get your Mazda serviced, you will get a sticker put in the corner of your windshield. On this sticker, it will have 2 numbers – one will be a date and the other will have a mileage amount. This represents when your vehicle will need to be serviced again.
The date could come first or the mileage. So what do you do when you see a wrench light on your car? Read our quick guide, then contact us to learn more and schedule your service appointment online!
What to Do When You See a Wrench Light on Your Car
Have you spotted a Mazda wrench light? A wrench light on your car is part of your vehicle’s maintenance monitor that helps you track your maintenance needs. If you see this Mazda wrench light on your dash, it means that you’ve reached your necessary Mazda maintenance period, or you need to replace your vehicle’s engine oil.
A helpful tip is not to travel more than 7,500 miles or 12 months (whichever comes first) without a car oil change. When the wrench light illuminates, it is letting you know it is time to make an appointment for your next service. This mostly serves as a warning or a reminder to make the appointment now. You’ll also want to check out our service specials to make your next appointment even more affordable!

How do I remove the wrench from my dashboard?
Hello Kim, The wrench is an indicator that you are due for service. If you are looking to reset it manually, you can adjust it in the application icon on your home screen (far left). In the service folder, you will see an oil change option to reset.
We had are Mazda serviced with are regular garage which they serviced all our cars and we had it done last week. But now we have the yellow wrench on the panel. Can we turn that off now that are car is serviced..
Thank you very much was abit worried when I saw the sign. I have applied 500 km to go before next service
I have serviced with genuine parts but light is still on with lack OF of POWER
I would recommend contacting your local Mazda dealer again regarding your recent repairs.
I’ve only had the car 7month and done3850 miles the oil is checked regular everything OK so why is the wrench light and service reminder comming up
If you have not had an oil change in 7 months, that may be why the indicator light is on. It is recommends to change oil by time OR mileage, whichever comes first.
What does it mean when this indication is flashing?
If your light is flashing, I would suggest taking your vehicle in immediately to your local Mazda dealer. They may recommend having it towed if you are having any car symptoms along with the light.
Hello I’ve only bought my car 3 month ago from the trade centre I have paper saying it had a 99 punt check Including service at 24,000 I’ve only drive 700 Since but the light has come up so do I need to take it into the garage to get checked should I be safe to ignore it until I have drove the required mileage or from the date of the paperwork thank you for you Advice
Hello Tracy, Most likely they forgot to reset the service reminder in the vehicle. I would encourage that you verify that the oil change was done, but if it was not a Mazda dealer that sold the vehicle, they may have not thought to reset it.
I wanted to know why all my service lights turned on could it be a bad abs ?
Hi I have the Mazda 2 skyatciv diesel 2017, the amber wrench light came on and is flashing, I’ve had the oil changed and reset in the applications service schedule and done the trip reset thing…however the amber spanner light still flashes, does it take time for the good oil to reset etc?
Hello, We are in the US, and we do not offer the diesel Mazda2 in our market. I would recommend contacting a local dealer/service center.
My car is showing a wrench , its service is due and appointment is booked, will the service dept reset my mazda?
If you are servicing at a Mazda dealer, they should be adjusting the service trigger after every oil change.
Maintenance check oul change
