Maint light ???

Is there anyway to tell how many miles until your Maint light will be coming on?
In other words is there a way to see where the count down mileage timer currently is?
I took my Tacoma in for front brakes last week and my Maint light was blinking.
It is no longer blinking or on so I think it must have gotten reset but the oil was not changed.
Thank you...

I believe that means less than 500 miles until it stays lit up.

 

It will come on after 4,500 miles.

My light is no longer blinking and it's not on either..

 

If it blinks right when you start it, then goes away, it means less than 500 miles until oil change is due.

Once you hit the 5k mile mark it comes on and stays on.

 

If you keep records you'll always be able to just look at your odometer and use math.

 

^ This

^ and this.

There is no "count down" that the truck will give you. You can keep manual records to keep track on your own, or watch for the maint light.

 

I agree, I would like to see if it was reset by the dealer or did it quit working.

 

Just change oil and reset

 

I don't think it could have burned out already on a '14

 

Thank you for actually reading my post about the count down display...

 

If the dealer didn't do an oil change it sounds like you're due for one. Change your oil and reset the computer and then you will know exactly how long until your next oil change

 

Had to have been reset. Chances that it just stopped working right then are astronomical.

 

I use one of the trip meters on the odometer for oil changes. There is an A, and a B and a total. One is for gas mileage and the other is for oil changes.

My $.02.

 

It's all in the owners manual too....btw.

 

Right, It would be nice to see a count down for something like this.

 

And then the whole system comes crashing down if you disconnect your battery


I like your system I use A for gas mileage, B is typically only reset for how many miles offroad on trips though, I just wait for my maintenance light.

 

Exactly where at in the manual does it say how to access the count down?

 

It doesn't. There isn't one. Open your manual and look under maintenance. Read that chapter.

It only flashes when you are less than 500 miles from being due (4,500 to 4,999 miles since last oil change). Once you hit 5,000 it comes on and stays on.

So far as I know this is pretty standard with cars these days.

 

Yep, I do the exact same thing.
It's just odd that it got reset at the dealer when I had my front brake done.
