Resetting the Maintenance Light on a 2022 Toyota Highlander

The maintenance light on your 2022 Toyota Highlander serves as a reminder for scheduled maintenance tasks, such as oil changes or inspections. Resetting this light is essential after performing the necessary services. Below are the detailed steps to reset the maintenance light.

Tools Required

No specific tools are required for this process; however, having the vehicle's key fob may be necessary.

Reset Instructions

Step 1: Turn on the Ignition

Insert the Key or Press the Start Button: Insert the key fob into the ignition or press the start button without pressing the brake pedal.
Switch to ON Position: Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (the engine does not need to be running; just the electrical systems should be on).

Step 2: Access the Multi-Information Display (MID)

Locate the ODO/Trip Button: This button is typically found on the instrument panel, near the speedometer.
Switch to Odometer Mode: Press the ODO/Trip button until the odometer reading is displayed (not the trip meter).

Step 3: Reset the Maintenance Light

Turn Off the Ignition Again: Ensure the vehicle is off.
Press and Hold the ODO/Trip Button: While holding the ODO/Trip button, turn the ignition back to the "ON" position (do not start the engine).
Wait for the Light to Reset: Continue holding the ODO/Trip button until the maintenance light turns off. This may take about 10 seconds.
Release the Button: Once the light is off, you can release the ODO/Trip button.

Step 4: Verify the Reset

Turn Off the Ignition: After the maintenance light has been reset, turn the ignition off.
Start the Vehicle: Start the engine to confirm that the maintenance light is no longer illuminated.

Conclusion

If the maintenance light remains on after following these steps, it may indicate that there are other issues requiring attention. In such cases, further diagnostics with an OBD-II scanner may be necessary to identify any underlying issues.

Note: Always refer to your owner's manual for specific information related to your vehicle model, as procedures may vary slightly.
