Maintenance Light at 160k

[Veloracermike]

So I've done all the services on my 04 V6 2WD 4 Runner and at 160k the maintenance light comes on. Can't find any info on what service needs to be performed at 160k any info?

Hey Mike, I don't know what maintenance you may actually need but that maintenance light comes on every so many thousand miles. I think it may be 7500. It's basically just an oil change reminder. You just need to reset it. Going by my memory, which is not the best, this is the procedure: Set the odometer to the regular odometer, ( not trip 1 or trip 2), then press and hold the reset button. I hope that's right.

Stop by an auto parts store and get them to read the code for you, no sense in guessing. I recommend that you get yourself some type of code reading software for a laptop because they're usually pretty cheap for basic diagnosing; it will save you a lot of money in the long run.

Almost. Regular odometer, then key off. Then push in on odometer stick, and while holding it in, turn key to on but don’t start. When dashes finish to all zeros, release odometer stick.

Thanks guys! Yeah I was pretty confused by the light coming on, I'll swing by Autozone just to make sure it's no big deal but it's been about 7k since I did the last service.

CEL: Go to autozone

If its the MAINT light, you're wasting your time going to autozone. Its a regularly scheduled reminder that blinks on start after 5k, then comes on on permanently 7.5k miles.

Reset procedure is here: Resetting Maintenance Light on 4Runner

Thanks for helping me out on that. Every time I do mine I have to try to remember the process. I think the fact that it has that reset button confuses me every time.

Yeah, and it's different on some cars. With my wife's Rav4, you press and hold the Display button on the steering wheel. Same procedure otherwise.

This procedure worked like a charm, thanks!
