How To Reset Oil Maintenance Light On Toyota Solara (2003-2008)
Time needed: 3 minutes
Alright, so we got a Toyota Solara. This one’s 2005, and we got the maintenance light on, and we need to get that off. So the first I’m going to do is:
- Turn on the ignition
If it’s not already we go to the on position
- Bring up the ODO (for 2003-2006) or TRIP A (for 2007-2008)
Hit the ODO/TRIP button and you’ll be on you got different options here, this one’s on the odometer got trip A and trip B also those are a little bit different but this one I found out works on ODO and TRIP A, so I leave it there
- Turn off the ignition
After that, make sure that the car is off
- Press and hold the ODO/TRIP button as you turn on the ignition again
Now you’re going to hold down ODO/TRIP stick and then turn the key to the on position again
- Keep to hold down the ODO/TRIP button
While you’re holding that in and watch what happens see the dashes go across then it resets to zero
- Startup the car
Once it goes to zero you can start it up and verify that the maintenance light goes away
