The maintenance light in a Toyota Tacoma serves as a reminder to bring the vehicle in for servicing. Typically, a dealership or repair shop will turn off the light after completing the services. However, if they forget or if you're performing the maintenance yourself, you can manually deactivate it. To do this, start with the vehicle turned off. Press and hold the reset button on the odometer. Turn on the vehicle and then turn it off. Once you've turned it off, release the reset button. You can then start the vehicle as usual, and the maintenance reminder light on the dashboard will be switched off.
To reset the maintenance light on your Toyota Tacoma, begin by switching the key to the on position. Next, press and hold the odometer button. Keep holding the odometer button as you switch the key to the off position. Lastly, maintain holding the odometer button as you switch the key back to the run position, and the light will turn off in a few seconds.
To reset the odometer on a third generation Tacoma, press and hold the reset button while inserting the key into the ignition. Turn the key to the right without starting the truck and continue holding the button until the four yellow blinking lights disappear.
