On a 2008 Lexus LS350 the oil light was not reset after an oil change. It does not have a key. I tried using the "hold tripodometer and pressing he start button with my foot off the brake" - no good!

The following procedure will reset your oil change light. Thank you for using Fixya!

1. Turn the ignition to run (one position before starting engine).
2. Press and release SETUP to display "OIL LIFE XXX% HOLD RESET = NEW".
3. Press and hold RESET for 2 seconds and release to reset the oil life to 100%.
4. Turn the ignition off and then start the engine to verify the indicator has been reset.

Put the ignition key on , using trip meter button switch display to odometer.
Switch ignition key off.
Press and hold trip meter button , switch the key on ,
continue to hold button for at least 5 sec.
Display indicates " 000000 " and " MAINT REQD " lamp will go off , resetting is complete.

try this ; key on , engine off , if you have trip meter button rapidly press it until odometer displays.
turn key off , press and hold trip meter at the same time put the key on , if you see the bar , wait till it finish reseting(10-15 sec).

To reset your maintenance reminder system (even if the light hasn’t come on yet), you’ll need to turn your key to on (but don’t start!) and make sure your odometer is on TRIP A. Then key off. Press and hold the Odometer/Trip button. While holding down on the button, key the ignition to on (Don’t start the engine!) The display panel will count down from “------“ to “-“Continue pressing the button until the Trip A is displayed. After this step, you are done.

Here's how you reset your oil maintenance light.

To reset the light,
Turn the ignition on
Make sure the odometer displays "ODO"
1.Turn the key off
2.Press and hold down the same button you use to get to "ODO"
3.Turn the key back to ON ( while still holding down the button)
4.Hold the button in until all the flashing lines on the odometer go away and the bunch of "000000" shows up and the maint reset light will turn off.
Your'e done.

If this doesn't work, you would have to try it on "trip A" instead of "ODO".

With the key in the ignition but in the off postion press and hold your odometer trip button in then turn your key to the first postion hold the trip button in for 5 seconds the display will read oil service or inspection then it will say reset release the button and then press it again untill the reset starts to flash then release and press the button briefly to reset

Try this: turn the key to the RUN position (don't start it), press the accelerator to the floor 3 times within 5 seconds. The oil life light should flash twice, indicating that it's been reset.

If you have steering wheel controls, you can navigate to where it says Oil Life and then hold the arrow down, that should also reset the oil life.

Press odometer reset/adjustment shaft in, hold in and turn key to run position. Keep holding in the reset shaft in for about 30 seconds. release shaft. turn key off. restart car. Service Light should go off in about 5 seconds.

if you have a owners manual read it. try coloradofans.com website and search the forums. i think johnny5846 is right if you don't have a DIC (driver info center). i believe you use the DIC(tripodometer). i don't know the sequence off hand, you can also you can change your lock settings and alarm settings, etc. with the DIC.

PRESS AND HOLD IN THE TRIPOMETER RESET BUTTON. WITH IT IN, TURN THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION WITHOUT STARTING THE ENGINE. THE DISPLAY WILL COUNT DOWN IN HASH MARKS FROM 6 TO 0. AFTER IT REACHES 0 RELEASE THE TRIPOMETER RESET, TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION. ONCE YOU RESTART THE LIGHT SHOULD BE OFF.
