When the car is turned on the Maintanance Required Light comes on and it blinks ten (10) times our car was serviced three months ago by me I changed the oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs and the a/c filter and today January 10; I just again changed the oil, oil filter and the air filter and the light is still on what is the problem.

thanks in advance
