Hello, I see you had a question regarding the -42600 on the dash.
All that is , is the maintenance reminder telling you that you are past due by 42,600 miles.
that mainly means that no one ever reset the dash for the maintenance reminder.
I have attached a video on how to reset it for you.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for responding.
I do not see any actual link for the video.
It only says: "VIDEO LINK" but it's not accessible for a video.

Yes its super easy, just have to hope the knob in the dash works, worst case you will have to have a dealer or shop clear it with a scan tool.
Not sure what you are using to communicate but a text or email or message will come across.
