Reset maintenance light Toyota 4Runner 2022

The Toyota 4Runner will display a ‘Maintenance Required‘ message on the instrument panel to remind you when an oil change is due. This notification will display once the vehicle travels 4,500 miles since the last reset.

Once service has been performed, you can reset the maintenance light using these steps.

1. Turn the ignition of the vehicle “On“. On push button models, press the Engine Start button two times. Do not start the engine.
2. Press the “Odometer/Trip” stem button located on the instrument panel to toggle the display to show the Trip A mileage.
   
   
3. Turn the ignition “Off“.
4. Press and hold the “Odometer/Trip” stem button.
5. Continue to hold the “Odometer/Trip” button while switching the ignition of the vehicle on. On push button models, press the Engine Start button two times without holding the brake. Do not start the engine.
6. When the odometer displays all zeros, it will confirm the maintenance light has been reset.

If the steps didn’t work for you, try them again.

This tutorial is valid for all model Toyota 4Runner vehicle year models 2010-2021.

What’s up, guys! Today we’re going to be resetting an oil maintenance light on the Toyota 4Runner. I love this 4runner, and I do have a little fifth-gen over there to that we’re gonna be giving some lovin. So if you guys have the fifth-gen, definitely you’re in the right place.

This is a simple, straightforward procedure and takes only a few seconds. This will also work on many different makes and models within Toyota. If you do your own oil changes or if the shop forgot to reset, that’s the easy way to take care of it. So let’s get right to work.

• First, turn the key all the way forward without starting the car
• Then use the RESET button on the gauge cluster, and you’re gonna need to set the odometer at ODO

• Next, I’m gonna turn it off
• After doing that, you’re gonna want to hold down the RESET button as you turn on the ignition again
• Keep holding the button while the dashes go across until the zeros appear, and that’s will reset the oil life

2010-2022 Toyota 4Runner

Time needed: 3 minutes.

This chapter will show you how to reset the oil life or the maintenance required light on a Toyota 4runner. This is a 2021 4runner here, but it will be the same in a few different years. So the first thing we want to do is:

1. Switch on the ignition

   First, turn the ignition to the on position on as far as you can turn the ignition forward without actually starting the engine or you can press the START button two times

2. Go to the TRIP A

   Then once it’s on, we’re going to press the ODO/TRIP stem right here and we’re going to press that until we have TRIP A highlighted on the screen
   

   

3. Turn the ignition off

   Once we have TRIP A up we’re going to turn the ignition off

4. Hold down the ODO/TRIP stem and then turn on the ignition

   Now we’re going to press that ODO/TRIP stem and hold it down as you turn the ignition back to the on position

5. Keep holding it

   We’re going to continue to hold it down and then as you can see they’re resetting and once that message is done you can let go and it has been reset

So that’s pretty much it. Let me know if you have any questions. If you could take a second to share this post, it helps us out, and I’d appreciate it. Anyway, enjoy and keep taking care of your 4runner.
