How to Reset Toyota Maintenance Light

The last thing you want to see when driving through Santa Cruz is the Toyota maintenance required light turn on. However, there is no need to panic. The Toyota maintenance light is a simple reminder that maintenance is due soon. After 5,000 miles since your last oil change, it will light up to remind you to set up an appointment with our Capitola service center. Regardless of whether you already have an appointment or went in for service and the light still won’t turn off, learn how to reset your Toyota maintenance light below! 

How to Reset a Toyota Maintenance Light in Five Easy Steps

Before you jump straight to resetting the Toyota maintenance required light, you should inspect your car to determine why the light came on. We recommend checking your maintenance schedule to see if your vehicle may be due for an oil change, 30,000-mile services, or other routine maintenance. Once you’ve figured out the issue, you can keep it on until you find the time to visit our service center near Santa Clara or choose to reset it before your visit. Here are the steps below to reset your Toyota maintenance light: 

1. Insert your car key into the ignition and turn it to “On,” but don’t start the car.
2. Press the trip reset button near the odometer until “Trip A” appears on the center screen. 
3. Continue to hold the trip reset button and turn the key back to the “Off” position. 
4. Turn the key to “On.”
