They assured me that I could drive the car and it would just try to run the REX maintenance and would give up when it couldn't.
You need to replace the pump relay. It's a $25 part and can be accessed under the dashboard. I'm 55 and watched a video and did it myself. It took about 45 minutes. See link below for video.

This car is quirky but with the scanner and basic tools and this group you should be able to overcome majority of issues with the car without getting scammed at the dealership. They took me for $1000 when I knew what was wrong. They tried to tell me it was something else and I'm mad at myself for not seeing what they were doing. The scanner has given me the confidence to be able to research and try and fix it myself within reason.
Thank you, Candece! I'll check it out. I truly appreciate you writing back
