Toyota Maintenance Required Light Reset (by Model and Year)

When the maintenance required light (“MAINT REQD”) or a “Maintenance required soon” message comes on after an oil change, you reset it from the dashboard. Toyota uses two methods depending on the year: a menu on the multi-information display, or the trip meter button. Below are the steps for each Toyota model and generation we cover, taken from Toyota’s owner’s manuals.

How the reset works

Newer Toyotas: the settings menu

Most Toyotas from about 2019 on reset the maintenance data from the multi-information display:

With the engine running (or the power switch ON), use the meter control switches on the steering wheel to open the settings screen.
Select Vehicle Settings.
Select Scheduled Maintenance (on some trucks, Maintenance Reset).
Select Yes. A message confirms the reset.

Older Toyotas: the trip meter button

Earlier models with a simple odometer display use the trip meter:

Show trip meter A, then turn the engine switch off.
Press and hold the trip meter reset button (ODO/TRIP or DISP on some models).
While holding it, turn the engine switch to ON. Do not start the engine.
Keep holding until the display shows 000000, then release.

The exact button and menu names change by year, so use the steps for your model below. They come from Toyota’s owner’s manuals.

Frequently asked questions

What does “MAINT REQD” mean on a Toyota?

It is the maintenance required light. Toyota uses it to remind you that scheduled maintenance, usually an oil change, is due. It is a reminder, not a fault code.

Can I reset the maintenance required light without doing the oil change?

You can, but the reminder would then count from the wrong point. Reset it right after the maintenance is done.

Why did the light come back after I reset it?

The reset was probably cut short (for example, the engine was started while holding the button). Repeat the steps for your model exactly as listed.
