Maintenance Light... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Archosman · 10-19-2007, 02:04 PM

Had my oil changed last weekend and yesterday I noticed that the maintenance light starts flashing for a little bit after I start her up. Oil level looks fine. Could they have forgotten to reset something?

Yes, They forgot to reset the light.

to reset the MAINT REQD light so it will quit blinking:
a) With the Engine ON click your Odometer/TripA/TripB selector knob so
the display shows TRIP A
b) Turn the car off
c) Turn the key 1 click to ACC (accessory mode)
d) While in ACC, press and hold the selector knob in (don't worry that
can't see anything on the dashboard.)
e) While you are still holding the selector knob, click the key 1 more
position to the ON position. Hold the knob for about 5 seconds.
f) If you do it correctly, you will see the TripA display change to some
numbers and then start blinking quickly. you will also see the MAINT
REQD blinking quickly.
Start the car up, and no more MAINT REQD light until you put another 4500miles on the car!

This is a question that could have been answered by a reading of the Owners Manual or using the Search function for the 15 or so times it has been asked here in the last 1 1/2 years.

You want to keep holding hands and facilitating the lazy!!!!!!!

That's the big government, nanny state, Liberal attitude.

Hmm... on my 06 I had to put it on Odometer instead of Trip A to reset

Yep, that's the way it works.

The post with the directions is wrong.

If you would have read the owner's manual or did a search as stated above that would have been clear.

Where did you get your lip spoiler that runs along the top of the trunk TRD VVTi?

It came on the car as part of SET's (South Eastern Toyota's) Special Edition package.

Any idea who manufactured it? I would love to find one similar...

SET makes it. Any dealer in the SET territory can sell you it.

You can call Town & Country Toyota in Charlotte, NC for the spoiler. Their number is 704-552-7600.

It will come painted to match the vehicle. If you do decide to get it, DO NOT install the screws in the end. The spoiler is very hard and when it contracts in cold weather the spoiler will either break where the screws are or it will literally rip the screws through the deck lid metal. My spoiler broke when I went to Minnesota in the winter and at that time the dealer was also handling warranty claims on other broken spoilers and/or torn trunk metal. The spoiler will hold on perfectly with the tape already installed on it and you won't have any problems as long as you don't install the screws.
