How To Turn Off The Maintenance Light
Turn the ignition key to the "OFF" position with the odometer reading shown. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position while holding down the trip meter reset knob. Hold down the knob for at least 5 seconds. The odometer indicates "000000" and the light goes off. If the system fails to reset the light will continue flashing. On some later models you have to use trip A or trip B. Always try the odometer first. .
Why Is The Check Engine Light On?
When the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT comes on it means the ECM (Electronic Control Module) has detected a malfunction. You will need a scanner to plug into the OBD II connector to retrieve the code. The code will not tell you the exact problem only which system has detected a malfunction. An example would be a P0130 (O2 Sensor Circuit Malfunction) that code does not mean the O2 sensor is defective only that there is a problem within that system. Using a Toyota repair manual you will need to diagnose this system to find the problem. If you have the code number there is a link on the left side that will show what the code means.


1, 1986 I opened my own Toyota repair shop. At first the name of my shop was Toyota Service of Pasadena, However after about 11 years Toyota USA claimed I was infringing on their trademark by using the word TOYOTA in the name of my repair shop. I changed the name to Daryl's Auto Service.
