Recently, the maintenance light keep flashing every time I start the engine, and then disappear after like 10 sec. I thought that is for the oil change reminder. I waited a few days for the maintenance light to stay on so I can reset it, but it keep flashing everytime I turn on the engine.

Today, this is how my car start up sound like, please take a look

Video doesn't work for me... You can clear the maintenance light as follows:

1. Turn they key to the second position
2. Turn the key to the off position
3. Push and hold in the odometer reset button
4. Turn they key back to the second position, while still holding the button.
5. After about 10-15 seconds, the light should go off.

I'm personally not hearing anything wrong except maybe it taking just a tiny bit too much to crank?

The sound when I turn the key into 3rd, it normally only last for 1 sec, but in the video it last for like 4 sec, sound like it has problem start up.

That is funny because mine started to do this today too. Not sure what other maintenance I would need either so i might just clear it.

Just bring it to the dealer or shop if you think something is wrong. They are the experts and will tell you if something needs to be fixed.
