no wonder mine's starting to flash longer on start ups. I know how to reset it just in case the dealer doesnt do it. Weird, i don't remember mine being solid after 5000 of no oil change yet on the GX, cuz i've gone over 5k, a little over, and the light just flashes longer and longer as the miles progress w/o servicing it.

Since this light is worthless, and the reset procedure is a pain in the butt. Any way to disable it permanently without opening the dash to remove the bulb?

doubt it. It's almost like that one guy in the other forum I moderate in that was asking how to disable the flashing seatbelt warning light because he doesn't wear his seatbelt. It's not really a safety issue, but in the long run when the car gets older and older, we might appreciate that light when we find out possible problems before they get worse.

The light does not do any thing but light up every 5000 miles forcing you to do the reset procedure. It will never alert you to any problems.

Remember, it's a reminder to do scheduled maintenance. With as busiy as everyone is, a little reminder can be a good thing.

With a sticker price of about $45,000. I will not need to be reminded to do anything except breathe when I get my first scratch or paint chip.

Except that most vehicle owners are not as observant as the type of person that would frequent this board. Toyota has to build for the lowest common denominator of intelligence.

Just so there's no confusion, that's the same procedure as I posted in my reply which is posted here on T4R.
Here it is in detail for those who can't be bothered searching...
TSB EL002-03 has these instructions:
1. Turn ignition switch to "ON" position
2. Set odometer/trip display to "ODO" mode
3. Turn ignition switch to "OFF" position
4. Depress and hold the Trip Meter "RESET" button while turning the ignition switch to the "ON" position
5. The service maintenance reminder light will:
i. Illuminate solidly for 3 seconds
ii. Blink for 2 seconds
iii. Illuminate solidly for 1 second
iv. Turn off
6. Release the Trip Meter "RESET" button
7. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position
8. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position and confirm that the service maintenance reminder light goes out.
Sooooooooo....is it different on later model 4th gens than on early models? I would have thought not.

THANKS this procedure worked for me!

Ain't that the truth! Unfortunately, the same line of thinking applies to so many other aspects of society as well.
This is why we have irons that warn us not to use it while clothes are being worn. Someone, somewhere must have done that at least once.

I agree.
Since I change my oil more often than 5K, it gets out of sync with oil changes.
One suggestion is to use it to remind you to do other things like rotate and balance the tires, or to throw in a can of fuel injector cleaner...

I know it's an old thread, but I didn't find the instructions in my manual.
I'm glad this thread is still good.
