Tacoma Maintenance Rest Instructions

The Maintenance Required light came on at 5,000 miles. Owners manual states it is an oil change needed reminder. For those of us who do it more frequently, here's what you do to reset the light.

  1. Put key in ignition, turn to the "on" position, but do not start vehicle.
  2. Push in trip odometer reset button until actual mileage of vehicle is showing.
  3. Turn off ignition
  4. With ignition off, push in trip odometer (actual mileage should be showing)
  5. Turn key to "on" position while continuing to hold in trip reset.
  6. You will see several dashes appear in the odometer. When they disappear, maintenance required light will disappear.

Your Portion Of Light

Whether you are a brilliant flame or but a tiny spark matters not-for the world needs whatever portion of light is yours to give.
