Clear the Service message. It's not an automatic process, you've had the oil changed, but the system has no way of knowing a service has been performed.

1. you turn the ignition key to "ACC" or "LOCK" position
2.Now, turn the key to "ON" position while pressing the "ODO/TRIP" button. Hold down the "ODO/TRIP" button for at least 5 seconds and the Odometer indicates "000000" and the light goes off.

Try this it works with toyota and lexus. Let us know your result when you try it.

Most probably, you didn't follow the sequence correctly. Try doing it again but follow the sequence correctly. And drive for a while it would go off. That is how USA spec toyota clears their "Maint Req" light. Its the same procedure that is written in toyota and lexus owners manual.

For ur second generation Toyota Tacoma, follow these easy steps and u will get it done.

1. Turn ur ignition on ( don't start the car, put the key to on position where the dashboard light shows but not starting car)

2. Press and hold the trip reset button

3. Turn the ignition off while still holding the trip reset button.

4. Now turn the ignition back on while still holding the trip reset button, wait for a few seconds and the maintenance required light will flash and go off. (don't release the trip reset button until the maintenance required light goes off).

5. Shout out if this works
