Maintenance required light

Can someone tell me how to reset the maintenance required light

 

Its right in the owners manual. If you don't feel like looking do a search on this site as its been covered.

 

Bingo and you need to refer to the owner's manual to know the sequence, it's a little different over the years and models.

 

I may be mistaken, but the maintenance reqd light on the tacomas is basically a check engine light. Please don't quote me on that one. If it's the same, check your gas cap and/ or did you get fuel recently? Most common cause for this issue.

 

MAINT REQD comes on 5,000 miles (I think) after reset. It will blink at first but eventually stays solid. It's just an service reminder, nothing else. There is a separate check engine which can come on for a lot of things, simple like a gas cap, misfire from bad fuel or genuinely bad stuff, too. When that comes on you should scan the codes to see why.

 

I think it goes like this

Turn key to ign
Put odo on trip A
Turn key to off
Hold down trip button
Turn key to ign while holding button
It should do some stuff on the milage counter and then reset.

 

Thanks for the reply without the sarcasm

 

Nowhere else did I see sarcasm, just people responding with helpful answers. Seriously, next time use Google. You would have gotten your answer a lot faster than waiting for someone to respond.

 

No one was being sarcastic unless I missed something along the way.

 

Mommy

 

Check engine light and maintenance required are 2 different things. Maintenance required is basically an oil change light. Its just a maintenance reminder.

 

it means your blinker fluid is low

 

Sorry for the false alarm. I remembered seeing it somewhere and it's on my wife's car

 

I appreciate seeing people being helpful.

 

Now that this has been answered I love the Tom foolery!

 

Thanks for the help

 

Most (maybe not all toyota's)work by press and hold odometer button, turn ignition to on but not run wait till the light goes out, turn ignition to off then release the odometer button. Light should be reset. Just make sure you did your oil change

 

Wait a second?

Why make sure that the oil is changed? That's what the reset procedure is for, resets the oil.
