To clear the maintenance light in your Toyota 4Runner, park the vehicle with all doors closed. Turn the key in the ignition to the on position without starting the engine. If your SUV has a push-button start, press it twice without touching the brake pedal as if you were starting the car. Find the ODOMETER/TRIP button on the instrument cluster and choose either ODO or TRIP A, depending on the model year. Turn the ignition off or press the push button start once. Press the ODOMETER/TRIP button again and keep it pressed while turning the ignition back on. If you use a push-button start, press it twice just as before. Keep holding the ODOMETER/TRIP button and you'll see 000000 MILES display. The maintenance light should turn off. Turn the ignition off and then start the vehicle to confirm that the reset was successful.
Not compatible with a 2006 4runner model.
To clear the maintenance indicator on a Toyota 4Runner, start by switching the ignition to the on position, then adjust the odometer display to show "odo". Next, switch the ignition off. While simultaneously pressing and holding the trip reset button, turn the ignition back to the on position.
Ensure that the vehicle's setting is switched to trip A by pressing the reset button, turning off the ignition, and then pressing the start button twice (while keeping the reset button pressed) without applying the brake. This will turn on the vehicle without starting it. Keep holding the buttons until the progress bar on the display completes, and then start the vehicle.
