Why is my Scion tC’s maintenance required light on?

A few days ago the maintenance required light on my Scion tC turned on. I’ve been driving around with no issues so far, but I’m worried this is a bad idea. Do you know why my maintenance required light is on in my Scion tC?

Sorry to hear you’re facing this issue, but it’s a good thing you reached out! The maintenance required light coming on in your
Scion tC
means it needs to be serviced.
The maintenance required light is standard in all new Scion models and usually comes on every 5,000 miles or 6 months. The light is simply a recommendation that your vehicle should be serviced soon. Contact a professional mechanic to have them diagnose and fix the issue.
Below are some typical maintenance services that may need to be performed if your Scion tC’s maintenance required light turns on:
  • Engine oil change
  • Fluid Check
  • Replacement of wipers
  • Replacement of cabin air filter
  • Inspection of the steering system
  • Multi-point inspection
  • Tire rotation
Think of your maintenance required light as a warning sign—you should have your Scion tC inspected by a mechanic soon to avoid major damage.
When taking your car to be serviced, be sure to look over your
car insurance
policy to make sure it’s right for you. With
