Unlike a lot of things in your car, the maintenance required light doesn’t automatically shut off once you’ve completed an oil change or other service. The good news is that it’s super quick and easy to reset this light! In this article, we’ll provide you with the steps you need to get rid of the maintenance required light on your dashboard. These instructions work for most car makes like Toyota and Honda.
Things You Should Know
- Turn your key in the ignition twice so your car’s power comes on, but don’t start the engine.
- Use the “ODO/TRIP” button on the dashboard to change the dashboard display to “TRIP A.”
- Turn your car off and hold down the “ODO/TRIP” button. Turn your car back on so it’s just running power.
- Continue to hold down on the “ODO/TRIP” button until the maintenance light disappears. Then, release the button.
