Maintenance Light Comes on?
I had my Yaris serviced, could this be because the tech forgot to do something on his computer and its time for the 5,000 mile checkup? Although I had it serviced at 4,000 miles , not due again for 10,000 mles...
Will appreciate your thoughts |

Prolly 5k "change your oil" reminder. To reset:
1. Turn the ignition key to the "OFF" position with the trip A reading shown. 2. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position while holding down the trip meter reset knob. Hold down the knob for at leat 5 seconds. The indication light flashes and the bars displayed in the odometer disappear gradually. The odometer indicates "000000" and the light goes off. If the system fails to reaset, the light will continue flashing. "

If you had it serviced (oil change) at 4,000 miles, than the light will come on at 9,000 miles. It comes on at 5,000 intervals (it actually appears at 4,500-4,999 upon start-up then disappears but stays on after 5,000).
And remember, this light is specifically an oil change reminder light and doesn't indicate any other needed service. Consult your manual for other service intervals. |

Ya.. mine turns on depending on when I changed it last, not on specific preset increments.. it has never come on at an multiple of 100, 1000, or 5000. So whatever mileage you reset it at plus 4500 is when it starts flashing, and then plus 5000 is when it stays on.
