How To Reset The Maintenance Light On A Toyota

If the “Maintenance Required” light illuminates on your Toyota dashboard while you’re driving in Texas or the greater Riverside, CA area, don’t worry. This light serves as a warning that your vehicle is approaching its next scheduled maintenance appointment. Typically, it appears 5,000 miles after your last oil change, indicating it’s time to book a Toyota service appointment at your local OREMOR Automotive Group auto center.

We offer five convenient locations for drivers around Ontario or Dallas, TX to visit if you need a quick inspection or extensive repairs. Furthermore, most repair shops aren’t trained to handle Toyota vehicle maintenance and won’t be able to reset the maintenance light themselves. By visiting one of our OREMOR Automotive Group service centers, you can avoid the hassle of resetting your Toyota maintenance light every time it’s required. However, driving around Fresno, CA and the surrounding regions with a flashing maintenance light can be annoying. You can reset the Toyota maintenance light yourself by following the steps provided below.

How To Reset A Toyota Maintenance Light In Five Easy Steps

If your Toyota maintenance light has come on, you should first determine the reason. Consult your maintenance schedule to see if your car, truck, or SUV is due for routine service, such as an oil change or tire rotation. After identifying the issue, you can either keep the light on until you can visit one of our Toyota-certified service centers or choose to reset it before your next appointment. To reset your Toyota maintenance light, follow the steps below:

1. Turn the ignition key to the “On” position, but do not start the engine.
2. Press and hold the trip reset button (near the odometer) until “Trip A” displays on the center screen.
3. While still holding the trip reset button, turn the key back to the “Off” position.
4. Turn the key to the “On” position again.
5. Continue holding the trip reset button until the odometer shows 0.
