Need a quick answer on how to reset the maint light

[04SolaraGirlie]

I searched and searched and couldn't find anything, I know I've seen it in the past last time I did my oil change... If someone could please give me a quick answer so I can get that taken care of... Thanks, Jen

Take it to Autozone or Pep Boys and have them clear the light with the OBD II scanner or anybody that has the scanner. If you had the work done at a Toyota dealership, bring it back to them and have them clear it as they originally forgot too.

w/ engine off,
press & hold the odometer reset button,
while keeping holding, turn ignition key to ON (no need to start engine),
watch the odo till give ----------,
release odo reset button,
done (reminder has been reset)

look in your owners manual it should be in there... something with holding the odo reset while key is off, turn to on position and let go.

Geez... I searched too (having posted it before) and I couldn't find it. Step 1 is the downfall for most.

Alright kids... lets all turn to pg 136 of our owners manuals...

1. Make sure the odometer view is showing (not the trip a or b) (Might that be the problem J?)
2. key to off
3. hold down the trip reset knob and turn key to ON.
4. keep holding for 5 second or more until the ODO reads zeros and the MAINT light goes off.

And yes, it flashes after 4500 miles following the last reset. If you're nice to your Solara, you'll never see it. It stays on at 5000 miles.

Thus sayeth Toyota... let us ride.
