How to Reset Maintenance Required Light in a Toyota

Reset the maintenance required light in a Toyota after you change your oil so you know when to do your next oil change. This process works on most Toyotas including Camry, Tacoma, Corolla, Avalon, Tundra, Sienna, Rav4, 4Runner, and many more.
Step 1: Turn the car to the "run" position and make sure the odometer is showing (some Toyota's need to be on "Trip A"
Step 2: Hold down the "reset trip" button and shut the car off.
Step 3: Keep holding the "reset trip" button and turn the key to the "run" position.
Step 4: Wait for the "Reset maintenance required" light to shut off and then you are done.

NEW CARS RESET ON TRIP A! -Toyota Technician

[@chrisfix]

+The Technician next door Thanks!

[@dr6770]

Thanks for that info. I did it his way in the video and it didn't work, then tried yours and it worked for me! It saved me a trip to the mechanic since I already did oil changes and filter changes, just needed to get rid of that freakin light! lol

[@alanpineda8102]

Thanks!!

[@dumper87]

THANK YOU!!!

[@johnrocket117]

Beaudoin Motorsports worked for my 2014! Thanks! I always considered my taco old! Also thanks Chris just did my first oil change. Messy but my bad choice in oil container

[@polymetric2614]

i looked this up and i did not expect it to be a chrisfix video

[@FISHFANATIC95]

As always, I appreciate your videos so much. I looked at the description and reset the light faster than I could type this comment. You are a gem, thanks for your contribution to everyone and allowing people with no skills to get stuff done, themselves! Earn everything, you’ve earned it all.

[@Beateau]

Thank you so much for this! All the other guides were missing the crucial step of being in total milage and holding the button while touring off and back on. Got my like save sub, even 8 years later.

[@chrisfix]

Welcome aboard and I'm glad you were able to do this properly!

[@NoseyNana]

2003 Camry. Thanks so much for making this video & sharing your knowledge. In particular, you did a very professional job on the video itself with the close-ups and extreme closeups. Most content creators would just poke their head inside & catch a few seconds here and there and call it a wrap!

[@CarlaQuattlebaum]

Got the guys at Valvoline to turn off "maintenance required" light at the oil change about 6 months ago. Not sure it was on at the one I got about six weeks ago. Just noticed in a couple of weeks ago. Needed this reminder of what to do exactly to make that light go off. Thank you to you and KZbin.

[@ramindavani]

Thanks for the video. This technique works for most cars regardless of their make and model, but I need to add that it does not necessarily go off when you need an oil change. It can go off for a variety of reasons.

[@specialk7903]

I got my oil changed 2 weeks ago and didn't know how to reset the maintenance required light until now! I'm setting in my car and watched your video and now my light is off! Thanks Dude!

[@truthseeker1328]

I have an older 2010 Toyota and had to select "Trip A" on the odometer rather than the mileage setting. But other than that, worked perfect.

[@Skrillezzzs]

I was messing with mine for 5 tries, and read your comment then switched it to “Trip A” as well. After that it reset it! I have a 2011 Corolla.

[@liliedwards90]

Me toooooo!!! Thanks for this

[@Honey639-10]

Same! Thank you!

[@noicepants7737]

Same for a 2016 4 runner… thanks!

[@sierras7732]

worked just as shown on my 05 Toyota RAV4 ! thank you sooo much! Just saved me some stress and an embarrassing trip to the mechanic!!!

[@christiannguyen6193]

You are a legend! Maintenance required light was giving me anxiety. All Gone now 🙏

[@Stalkerx13]

I like how you explain the steps so well. I looked up another video and they didn't explain it well.

[@FromMyEyesToYours]

Very good info to have. Thank you! And what's kinda trippy is that at the instant you switch the key off you will feel the odometer button click just a teeny-tiny bit farther down.. like maybe 1/32 of an inch.. which is probably the feel of it sneaking into that secret little zone that kills the light. Man, who invents this stuff??

[@chrisfix]

They think of everything these days haha

[@Tinytim3264]

Always the go to online mechanic. Best car mechanic videos on the tube

[@chrisfix]

Thanks!

[@santoshbhattarai2635]

Chris you’re a real car guru. This was a big problem solver tho for 2007 Rav-4 you need to set odometer to Trip A.

[@Maranyeli10]

Sooo thankful for this comment! Totally WORKED!

[@MegaThroop]

Hey Chris love your videos man! Really helps with all the details and specifics on working on a vehicle! Keep up the great videos!

[@wilsonmenjivar9240]

Thank you for being brief and to the point. Easy tutorial!

[@jerrym1183]

gotta say that this is one of the most counter-intuitive procedures ever, and (at least for me) hard to remember, I wrote it down in my car log maintenance book for future reference! Thanks for posting

[@chrisfix]

I guess they really don't want you to reset by accident or something haha, thanks!

[@jerrym1183]

@@chrisfix bought a cream puff 2010 Rav 4 with 90,000 miles on it, tremendous vehicle, will do a lot of the maintenance

[@nati3061]

I watched multiple videos, it didn't work for me!! This is the easiest way to turn off maintenance required light!! Thanks!

[@sagehadley]

Been watching this channel for years. Always straight to the point and clear. Thanks!

[@i_am_gohan9232]

This didn’t work on my 2008 Camry, but thanks for making the video anyways Chris.

[@SuperNick090]

Worked like a charm on my Honda element....Thanks !

[@cdzlink7115]

Thank you. I got my oil changed and they didn't reset the oil maintenance light. So this helped me do it without having to take my car back.

[@astridlopez9297]

YOU MY FRIEND JUST SAVED ME A TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP! 🙌🏽

[@tornado4u2]

you know what, concise, precise, to the point, Thanks M8!, why I think everybody should learn a thin or two from you. save me a ton of money @the dealer.

[@RocketRay57]

Yea! Finally! This guy knows what he is talking about and this procedure works. 2005 Camry

[@otherstuffbybob]

Chris...once again thanks. Your video on shift lever alignment worked out great and now I don't have to guess which gear I'm in anymore

[@chrisfix]

otherstuffbybob AWESOME! I am glad the video was helpful! It is great reading comments like this so thanks!

[@brittanysoares9115]

This was very helpful! Worked like a charm! Thank you so much!

[@alhebb8790]

This worked on my 2010 Toyota Corolla only when I pressed the button when the trip mileage was up, not the total mileage. Thanks for the visuals!

[@odairnascimento4329]

Thanks. Finally I followed instructions that worked just fine!

[@deborahlaw3943]

Thank you so much! Your video was to the point and it worked on the first try!!! Appreciate it!!

[@Why-Wise]

I am grateful and appreciated this.

[@pamelalong9745]

Thank you for your help. I was able to reset the odometer. God bless u. May the Lord God bless u beyond your comprehension. He said in His word that He will bless those who bless me🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@chrisfix]

Thanks!

[@Ejiro_Edema]

Used this on my 2004 Toyota camry. Worked like a charm!

[@justinnance1584]

Thank you for the vid. My 2013 Tacoma had to be on trip a but works exactly the same. Thanks again.

[@garrettbasinger8694]

Thanks for commenting that. I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t resetting, but it worked when I put in on trip a.

[@joe18750]

Thanx man. Taking your advice I used the "Trip" odometer on my 2012 Tacoma and it cleared.

[@elaine3642]

Worked like a charm! Thanks!

[@bk2les]

Awesome tutorial, saved a trip to the Auto Parts Store.

Thank you for making this 1 minute long!!

[@marilynquiles2256]

You the best yes omg I have tried to turn it off for centuries lol even when I change my oil in my car sacredly thank you

[@snazzysri]

Thanks man.. simpler than other vudeo out there

[@pewymcpewerson1395]

Thanks Chris. Thought this was the check engine at 1st. Easy fix. 👍👍

[@chrisfix]

I'm glad you were able to fix it!

[@Joey-rr7cl]

I want to see more videos of simple stuff like this because you make it so easy. Other people make videos like this and it takes them 3 minutes to explain what you did in one minute. They also make it confusing sometimes. Awesome work ChrisFix If I was sitting in my car and wanted to shut off my service light, this video would be my go-to video because of how fast and easy it was!

[@chrisfix]

Chris Thanks a lot man! I will try to make some more videos like this when possible. Editing a video of this length is a lot more fun than the longer ones haha

[@davidellis6376]

Worked like a charm. Thank you.

[@EazzyBeezie]

Thanks. Had to set it to Trip A for my 2010 highlander

[@rahjohnfagan7090]

Great video! On my 2009 Camry I4 I had to have the odometer to TRIP A rather than total miles.
