Reset Oil Change Maint Light?

[sant6236]

How do I reset the maintenance light for the oil change indicator warning again?

 

[G.I.G.]

Hold down the odometer reset button while you turn on the ignition. It will take about 5 seconds than it will blink and go off.

On some of the Toyotas, with the ignition on you have to select trip A mode on the odometer and then shut the ignition off. Then while holding the button in (while in trip A mode) turn the ignition on. You will see the - - - - - hash marks delete from left to right on the display. Continue holding the button until the display clears and release the button. You have now reset the maintenance indicator.

I assume the above is correct. It's in the Owners Manual but I don't have access to it at the moment.

Yes that is correct, I have already done this. Be sure you have it on the odometer setting, then turn off the key. Then hit the re-set button and turn the key to on and hold the re-set button. Pretty easy really.

Totally easy dude. The information you got is true. Just follow what they did. I have reset mine like that.

Mine does not have to be in ODO mode to do it. Matter of fact, it won't work using that process for mine. I simply hold the reset button while turning the key to ON. Hold the button down until the light goes out. You are done.

when this light comes on? I never seen it with oil change intervals @ 7-8k miles on M1

 

[RickC]

7500 miles from the last time it was reset.

 

[CookieRoe]

wasn't it 5000 mile intervals??? Can this be changed?

i think it is 5000 because mine came on the other day at just over 20000 miles.

The dealer did not reset my maint light during my last oil/filter service. This method worked on my '07 SR5.

reset the oil change light

On my 2004 V-8 Limited, to reset the light you must have your odometer in the odometer mode for it to work (verses trip 'A' or 'B' mode), hold the reset button down when you start your vehicle until it starts to blink, the light should go off; will take 5+ seconds. Note: after reading other post, if this doesn't work for you then try your odometer in the 'trip A' or 'trip B' mode as different years might have changed the procedure. Good Luck

Mine comes on after 5k miles. I believe the dealer can change this setting (choose from 5k, 7.5k, or 10k?).

Mine will come on briefly after start at 3k, then it stays on at 5k, on both my Toyotas.

 

[mw69]

i like the reminder, but i always do it before it comes on...

 

[scottm]

I do synthetic at 5k, and it's nice to have my wife ask me about the service light as a reminder on her truck.

@Mounwaaa mine is the same.. 04 V8..

Where in the world did you get 7500 mi?
Someone made a typo on one of the forums and everyone replicated wrong info everywhere.

Official manuals says the light will start flashing for about 15 seconds at 4500 mi,
and it will remain on after 5000 mi.
