When I start my 4R with the 4.0 the maintenance light flashes for about 19 seconds after everything else goes off. Any idea what this is?

It will stay on soon ,you have to clear it.The light is pia ,like clock or timer to remind you to change oil /due maintenance. You can find how to clear it in the owners manual.
 
^ For details, see “Service reminder indicators and warning buzzers” on page 139 in Section 1- 6.

From page 145:

(h) Engine Oil Replacement Reminder Light (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.)
This light reminds you when to replace the engine oil.
This light will come on when the ignition key is turned to “ON” and will go off after about a few seconds.
When you drive for about 7200 km (4500 miles) after the engine oil replacement, this light illuminates for about 3 seconds and then flashes for about 12 seconds with the ignition key turned to “ON” posi- tion. If you continue driving without the engine oil replacement, and if the driving range exceeds 8000 km (5000 miles), the light will come on after the ignition key is turned to “ON” position. The light will re- main on thereafter.
If the light is flashing, we recommend that you replace the engine oil at an early opportunity depending on the driving and road condition. If the light comes on, re- place it as soon as possible.
You need to reset the light after the en- gine oil replacement. Reset the light by following the procedure below:
1. Turn the ignition key to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position with the odometer reading shown. (For details, see “Odometer and two trip meters” on page 138 in this Section.)
2. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” posi- tion while holding down the trip meter reset button.
Hold down the button until the light goes off. Before the light goes off, it illuminates for 3 seconds, flashes for 2 seconds and illuminates for 1 second.
If the system fails to reset, the light will remain flashing.
