Welcome to Thrifty Garage! My name is Carson, and in today’s video, I’ll be showing you how to reset the maintenance light on a 2016 Toyota 4Runner. This process can be applied to many different makes and models within Toyota, and it’s a very quick and easy procedure.
On the dash, you’ll notice the maintenance required light, which comes on every 5,000 miles. This light can indicate the need for tire rotations or oil changes, regardless of whether the vehicle has been serviced. To reset it, follow these simple steps:
- With the key in the “on” position (vehicle does not need to be started), press the odometer button to trip A.
- Turn the vehicle off.
- While depressing the trip button, turn the key back to the on position and continue holding the button until the process is complete.
This straightforward process only takes a few seconds and can be handy if you do your own oil changes or if the technician didn’t reset it after a service.
Thank you for watching, and I hope this video helped you! If you found it useful, feel free to like, comment, and subscribe for more helpful tips and tutorials.
