i did search and found info on the 05 and 06 models, but didnt see anything on the 07's relating to resetting the "maint required" light.

my odometer just turned 10k and around 9750 or so, the light came on. i took it to the dealer right around the 4500 mile mark for the first oil change. then, i went to my friends shop and did it there for the second oil change around 7500 miles. i've read that the light is scheduled to illuminate more or less at specific mileage markers.

i tried resetting myself by doing th "ign-on, ign-off, hold down reset button, ign-on until the dash or "s" and dash appear and then start the car once the "maint required" light stops blinking but i havent had any luck.

is there a different method for doing this on the 07's?

 

Did you read the Owners Manual?

 

i did awhile back, i'll have to go home and dig it out and see what i can find. just thought someone might be able to help me out on here.

 

yeah i'm pretty sure there's a procedure to follow in the owner's manual. good luck

 

The "s-off" "s-on" function is for the needle jump when you start the car. You want this one...

you want the odo to read the odo when you start the procedure..

 

thanks for the lynx Hyghgynx, i'll give it a shot when i leave work tonight.

 

I used this procedure just the other day and it worked fine, I have an 07, just passed 8k miles

 

he did it right.. sorta.. just started off wrong.

it's pretty much a universal procedure that works on different makes and models..

i've reset that light for cars outside toyota as well in that same fashion

 

Trip has to read odo. Turn car off, press and hold the odo button. While holding odo button, turn key to "ON" and wait til the odo flash. Let go of button, turn car off, and turn back on, maint. light should go away.

 

Good stuff... helped me reinitialize the tire pressure warning system after i got my toyo proxes4 put on today.

 

yup, it worked like a charm, thanks guys.
