2nd gen maintenance required light

worked perfectly.... thanks...... so i got another light that is always on... the tire pressure light... since i put bigger tires on the truck i cant get that damn light to turn off... anyone know a little trick to clear that code... ????

 

Thanks! Just did a oil change and didn't have time to look up in the manual to reset the warning light.

 

If you're original sensors aren't in your new tires, then that's the problem. Otherwise, the '07 has a sensor in the spare too. Check your spare. When everything's correct, the light will turn off on its own.

 

good , my warranty its, almost close to end and i do go to the dealer for the great "light" to be off and oil change. Thanks!!!

 

Does anyone know if the maintenace light can be programed to come on at 3000 miles? I worked for a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep Dealer and we could change the service interval based on the owners needs. I'd like to change mine but the Toyota dealers in the area can never give me a straight ansewer.

 

Thanks for the info. I could not find it in my owner manual where you said or anywhere else..F.K.

 

Yes. When you hold down the trip meter and go through the process, you'll see the number of dashes change. Each dash represents 1K miles. Release the trip meter when you reach the choice you want (3 dashes in your case).

 

Thanks 05Moose. I'll try it when I get home.

 

Awesome! Darn light has been driving me crazy! Any tips on the Air Pressure light?

 

Thanks, just used this. Rep for you sir.

 

great, this info is the main reason I looked up and found this forum, you guys are great.

thanks meng! always something useful on this site

 

I must have turned right past this in the manual. Mine jsut started doing this and it was driving me nuts. Shouldnt it reset on its own after an oil change? I guess i am due though when I think about it. Time to go get some mobile-1

 

No- The truck doesn't know when you ACTUALLY changed the oil....It just knows that you need to by the time you roll 5K since the last reset.

You can keep driving past the interval and reset the light if you wanted too....No oil change required.

 

Thanks alot for the tutorial on reset. Just did my 1st oil change and didnt know why the light was on.. Worked great! Thanks again

 

I changed oil back in April and used synthetic on my Tacoma TRD. Recently I put super unleaded into my engine. I noticed a difference in the power of the engine. I have only used super unleaded a few times recently then went back to regular unleaded. Could that have triggered my check engine light? I have about 50k on the Tacoma and my bro told me they set the light to come on as a maintenance reminder.

 

I notice a huge difference when I use regular-unleaded compared to super-unleaded. When I use regular, me truck engine knocks or pings, I lose gas mileage and power; is this all in my head, or does anyone else notice the same performance differences?

Thanks!

 

Thanks! I went to Auto zone and they said it was o2 sensor. They tried selling me one but I did not buy it. I thought I already had that replaced a while back.

 

Thanks BlueT!
