    Okay my 2007 toyota tacoma ive had for 3 months just turned over 50,000 miles, with regular oil changes every 3000 miles,
    and i noticed my MAINT REQD light came on just the other day.
    and idk why.
    took it to the shop they plugged into computer and nothing came up! problem wise did over all scan 2 times, nothing only trouble shoot was passenger air bag malfunction...
    would that set off my light?? ive searched the Owners manual to find nothing
    Any help would be nice!!

    Did the light come on before last oil change? I'm thinking maybe it wasn't on and didn't get reset.

    Yeah don't worry, it's just a light to let those dummies know that you need to change your oil, or do maintenance. It doesn't come on for any other reason, except after 5k miles every time. Some times it'll flash and go away just to let you know that the maintenance due is coming. To reset the light it's easy, stick key into ignition, hold the tack/speedo button down. then turn key to on position but don't start engine. wait for the tack to reset, and then your done.
