2007 toyota 4runner maintenance light flashing. Most often this just means your vehicle might be due for an oil change. The light will come on and remain on if the distance driven exceeds 5000 miles after the maintenance data has been reset. Just follow kgluecks link for instructions on how to reset it.
The car doesnt know when the oils been changed so it just flashes the light at the set interval after it was last reset. With the full odometer displayed not a trip meter shut the car off. Youll have to remember the change the oil 1000 miles before the light goes on again though since youve already driven it 1000 miles after your last oil change.
At startup the maint light on my 03 4runner gives several flashes even after all other dash lights have went off. If the light continues to be ignored it will turn on when you start your vehicle and stay on until the oil in your vehicle is changed or another required service is performed. Follow the instructions below to reset the oil maintenance required light on your toyota 4runner.
Turn the 4runner on make sure that you are looking at the odometer miles and not the trip miles. The computer system tracks the engine miles from the time it was reset and the light will trigger after 5000 miles of driving. Turn the ignition key to the on position without starting the engine if your vehicle has an ignition button press the engine startstop button twice without touching the brake pedal.
The light illuminates for about 3 seconds and then flashes for about 15 second every 4500 miles after the maintenance has been reset. I have had this happen on our 2007 sienna as it nears the time for an oil change. I do have a code reader ill hook up later today but i thought id ask for your thoughts as well.
I didnt notice this when i first got it although it could have done it then as well. The maint light will flash some go steady and then go out or some thing like that. Push and hold the trip reset button turn the key to the on position but dont start the engine wait 15seconds or so.
How do you reset the maintenance light for oil changes on a 2007 toyota 4runner. Typically the maintenance required light will begin by blinking when you first start your toyota vehicle and blinks a few times before turning off.
