It’s very common for drivers to experience persistent maintenance lights even after taking their car in to be serviced. The reason is usually very simple—the mechanic forgot to reset it.

The solution? You can either reset the light yourself or take the vehicle back to the mechanic, who can reset it for you.

Either way, here’s the process to reset the maintenance light on a 2008

Toyota Tundra

Turn your ignition to the on position. Do not start the engine.

Turn your ignition off, and hold down the Trip Meter Reset button.

Without releasing the button, turn your ignition on again.

Once you see your regular odometer readings return to your display, release the button. Your light has been reset!

Now that you no longer have to deal with a persistent maintenance light, you can drive with better peace of mind. But before you get back on the road, be sure to check out the
