Tire light and Maint light... help

[wvuviv30]

Alright my tire light is on solid along with the maint light.

I did switch out the stock wheels with a set of FJ Cruiser wheels. I haven't switched over the sensors yet. But the orginal wheels site 10ft from the 4Runner.

I think I am due for a oil change, but not sure, I think there is 4,5-5k on the current oil. I am running synthetic now so I take that till 7-8k.


So what is going on? 4Runner seems to be running fine.

The tire light is probably on because of the lack of sensors, unless you're not driving away from the original wheels. If the truck hasn't moved, then at least one of the original tires (including the spare) is below 27 PSI.

The maintenance light just comes on after a certain number of miles. It's not analyzing the oil or anything like that - it's just counting miles since it was last reset. The reset procedure is posted here or is in the owners manual. The process is a pain in the butt, as you must follow the instructions *exactly*.

Really? My oil change place did it for me. If I remember correctly, he simply asked me to turn car off... he pressed both the reset and ODO buttons (well, whatever those 2 buttons to the left of the speedo are)... then asked me to turn the key to on. That did the trick.

The reset process does appear to be that simple, but there are a couple of quirks. For example, if the odometer is on a Trip setting rather than on the actual odometer when you turn on the key, the process will fail.
The process is posted in this thread:
