It's not. That's not the maintenance indicator. It's the check engine light.

Bob,
Other than pulling the bulb out of the light and cutting the wire to the buzzer, (both actions HIGHLY not recommended, lol) There isn't any way to "turn it off". You want that system in working order in case something serious goes wrong.
The easiest way to keep it off is to make sure all of the systems on the car are in good working order. If the system does display a code, you need to have it diagnosed. Every time. It is always a possibility that something different has gone wrong that needs immediate attention to keep from having to dig very deep into your pockets.
Modifications to the intake and exhaust will often cause a code, and may require you to come up with some kind of workaround to keep the light from coming back on.
Take your car to Autozone, or one of the other name Part stores and have them scan for the code. You don't even have to buy their parts, if you don't want to.

Have you had your ~Z~Tuned?? sometime a couple aftermarket upgrades will cause this after a bit.
