Okay, today we have a 2012 Scion tC, and we’re going to learn how to reset the maintenance required light on it. So what you’re going to want to do is:
If your vehicle has an ignition button, press the Start/Stop button two times without stepping on the brake pedal
Press the ODO/TRIP button briefly until you get to the TRIP A
Press the Start/Stop button once to turn it off
Press and hold the ODO/TRIP button down and you’re gonna want to flip your key to the on position again. So it’s basically just turning on your car but without the motor running
Continue to hold down the ODO/TRIP and wait for the dashes are going to go across and the zeros to disappear and then you can release it and the light is reset
For your info, this operation work for the first and second generations of the Scion tC (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 model years).
To keep your Scion tC in peak condition, you must regularly schedule maintenance. You can find the maintenance schedule of your Scion tC at your local Scion dealer. You can also read comments left by other Scion tC owners for additional advice. Regardless of the type of car you drive, regular maintenance will help you avoid serious problems. So, how do you know when to get a service done?
To keep your vehicle in top condition, you should pay attention to the maintenance required light. This light will flash when the car is due for service and comes on after every 5,000 miles or six months. These lights are meant to notify you that it’s time to have your Scion tC inspected. If you haven’t already had your Scion tC serviced, you should do so as soon as possible.
For the most optimal performance of your 2013 Scion tC, you must follow the maintenance schedule prescribed by the manufacturer. The maintenance schedule includes oil and filter replacements according to the manufacturer’s recommendation. Oil changes are significant since they ensure your car’s efficiency. Changing your oil and filter will help your vehicle perform better and reduce the chances of dangerous malfunctions. However, you must consult your dealer or a qualified service professional for more information.
Regular maintenance of your Scion tC will protect your vehicle from breakdowns. Your Scion tC needs frequent oil changes, so you should always schedule your service at the recommended time. The time for changing the oil depends on the temperature outside and how many miles you drive each month.
To ensure you get the most out of your Scion’s maintenance schedule, consult the Owner’s Manual and use a genuine Toyota Super Long-Life Coolant. The intervals for engine coolant replacement vary from vehicle to vehicle. You should also visually inspect the fuel tank cap gasket for corrosion, damage, or loose connections. Also, check the oil and filter for oil leaks. You should change the oil and filter once every three years or 30,000 miles.
The 2016 Scion tC requires 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil in all weather conditions for its 2.5 L 4 Cylinder engine.
This vehicle’s 2.5 L 2AR-FE I4 engine has a capacity of 4.6 US quarts, filter included.
The timing chain on this vehicle should be built to endure the engine’s lifetime. There will be a slapping sound when they fail and must be replaced. Except for when they’re being adjusted, timing chains require zero upkeep.
Alright, guys, so that’s basically all you need to do. It’s pretty simple and easy. Whenever your light comes on, that’s all you need to do. I hope you guys enjoyed this quick little tip, and I hope you guys learned something. So thanks for your time, and catch you next time.
