how to reset maintenance light on toyota tacoma

The maintenance light reset process on a Toyota Tacoma varies by model year, but generally involves the following steps:

• For Toyota Tacoma 2011 and earlier (2005-2011 models):
  1. Turn the ignition off and remove the key.
  2. Press and hold the Trip/Reset button on the instrument panel.
  3. While holding the button, turn the ignition to the "On" position (do not start the engine).
  4. Keep holding the button until the odometer reading resets to zero and the maintenance light turns off.
• For Toyota Tacoma 2012 and later models:
  1. Turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.
  2. Use the display controls to set the screen to "Trip A."
  3. Turn the ignition off.
  4. Press and hold the ODO/Trip button.
  5. While holding the button, slowly turn the ignition to the "On" position.
  6. Release and press the button repeatedly until the odometer resets to zero and the light turns off.
• For 2018 to 2022 Toyota Tacoma models with digital menus:
  1. Turn on the ignition by pressing the power button without starting the engine.
  2. Navigate the menu using arrows to select the gear icon for Settings.
  3. Scroll to the Maintenance option.
  4. Select "Reset" and confirm by choosing "Yes."
  5. The maintenance light will reset and turn off.

For the latest models (2024-2026), the reset can be done through the instrument cluster menu by accessing vehicle settings, then oil maintenance, and choosing reset with confirmation. These processes typically require holding down the odometer or trip reset button while turning the ignition on to engage the reset mode, and waiting for the odometer to count down or reset to zero before releasing. If the maintenance light still does not reset, the vehicle may require service or further inspection. This summarizes the key methods to reset the maintenance light on a Toyota Tacoma depending on the model year.
