How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a 2020 Toyota Highlander

Tools Required

No special tools are required for this reset. However, you may want a notepad or a smartphone to jot down the maintenance schedule if needed.

Reset Instructions

Step 1: Turn on the Ignition

Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "ON" position (do not start the engine). If your Highlander has a push-button start, press the button twice without pressing the brake pedal to access the "ON" mode.

Step 2: Access the Multi-Information Display

Locate the control buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. Use the up and down arrows to navigate through the multi-information display until you reach the "Settings" menu.

Step 3: Navigate to Maintenance

Once in the "Settings" menu, select "Maintenance" using the "OK" button or the center button.

Step 4: Select the Reset Option

In the Maintenance menu, look for the option that says "Oil Maintenance" or "Reset". Select this option.

Step 5: Confirm the Reset

The system will prompt you to confirm the reset. Select "Yes" or "OK" to confirm the reset of the maintenance light.

Step 6: Verify the Reset

After confirming, the maintenance light should turn off. You can turn the ignition off and then back on to ensure that the maintenance light no longer illuminates.

Final Check

After resetting, drive your vehicle for a short distance and then check to ensure the maintenance light remains off. If it comes back on, double-check that the necessary maintenance was completed, or consult a professional technician for further diagnosis.

Conclusion

Resetting the maintenance light on a 2020 Toyota Highlander is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few minutes. Always ensure that all required maintenance has been performed before resetting the light, as this will help keep your vehicle in optimal running condition. If issues persist, consider consulting your owner's manual or a certified Toyota technician for assistance.
