My Highlander has the (MAINT REQUEST) ligth on. how I can reset it?

The maint req'd light goes on when your vehicle is due for an oil change. If you've recently changed your oil - sometimes your mechanic won't reset the built in tracking settings for when you are due for another oil change. Here's how you can reset it.

Turn ignition to "ACC" and press the odometer button until the display reads actual mileage (not Trip A or B).
Turn ignition off.
Hold the same button down that you used in step 1.
While holding the button, turn ignition to 'ON'.
The 'Maint Reqd' light should blink and go out.
Done!

Main reop light in dash

Hello, and welcome to FixYa.

The 'Maint Reqd' light indicates that you are due for an oil change. It will blink 4,500 miles since the light was reset at your last oil change, and stay on steady after 5,000 miles.

If you recently had an oil change, all you need to do is reset your maintenance reqd lamp. The procedure is here on this site inthe 'tips and tricks' section, and it is also in your owner's manual.

There is ligth sing that say maint reoqd what thats mean?

The "Maint Reqd" light is designed to illuminate every 5,000 miles

This is your 'oil-change-is-due' reminder light.

If you recently had the oil changed, and the light came on, the light was not reset. The light must be manually reset after each oil change; it does not reset automatically.

We hope that this helps you out..

That is for oil changes. It come on when the oil change is due.
When you have your oil change done, the lube tech should reset the this light every time.
