Default A little help please : )

Hey
when i start my car i have a flashing message where my milage would normally pop up.
it says service INSP. i have read in the manual that this is just a set thing like a reminder
to get your oil changed or something and it says in order to reset it you have to hold it down
for a couple of seconds and it will go away until the next time. i have done this numerous times and
it still comes back when i start it. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? .. year and engine are in my sig.
thanks
-Jason
