      Thanks for that info. I did it his way in the video and it didn't work, then tried yours and it worked for me! It saved me a trip to the mechanic since I already did oil changes and filter changes, just needed to get rid of that freakin light! lol

    In my 2009 Corolla I had to set it to Trip A, not the odometer, to get this technique to work. Otherwise, the steps are spot on.

    Thank you so much for this! All the other guides were missing the crucial step of being in total milage and holding the button while touring off and back on.

    Got the guys at Valvoline to turn off "maintenance required" light at the oil change about 6 months ago. Not sure it was on at the one I got about six weeks ago. Just noticed in a couple of weeks ago. Needed this reminder of what to do exactly to make that light go off. Thank you to you and UA-cam.

  • @FISHFANATIC95

    As always, I appreciate your videos so much. I looked at the description and reset the light faster than I could type this comment. You are a gem, thanks for your contribution to everyone and allowing people with no skills to get stuff done, themselves! Earn everything, you’ve earned it all.

  • @truthseeker1328
    @truthseeker1328 3 роки тому +17

    I have an older 2010 Toyota and had to select "Trip A" on the odometer rather than the mileage setting. But other than that, worked perfect.

    • @Skrillezzzs
      @Skrillezzzs 3 роки тому +4

      I was messing with mine for 5 tries, and read your comment then switched it to “Trip A” as well. After that it reset it! I have a 2011 Corolla.

    @FromMyEyesToYours 3 роки тому +5

    Very good info to have. Thank you! And what's kinda trippy is that at the instant you switch the key off you will feel the odometer button click just a teeny-tiny bit farther down.. like maybe 1/32 of an inch.. which is probably the feel of it sneaking into that secret little zone that kills the light. Man, who invents this stuff??

    @ramindavani 4 роки тому +2

    Thanks for the video. This technique works for most cars regardless of their make and model, but I need to add that it does not necessarily go off when you need an oil change. It can go off for a variety of reasons.

    I have enjoyed watching and learning from your videos ever since I first stumbled across you on UA-cam several years ago. Excited about resetting the maintenance reset light that comes on yearly and I tried it and didn't work . so of course I read through it, went to trip A button and again it didn't work. Being a consistent chrisfix fan I figured let's just keep trying. I then tried via totally engaging the clutch while moving on to position A; again nothing. Then back to total mileage position .Each position waiting a full 60 seconds. Amazingly it reset! THANK YOU Chris!

    Another great video man. Not sure if the Tacoma did it, but when I do this on my dad's 06 Tundra after an oil change, the odometer will show a series of dashes "counting down" eventually turning into all zeros, followed by them turning back to the mileage. Just thought it might be worth a mention so people like me don't think they just completely reset their odometer... like I did. Lol.

      Jordy Contre Awesome Jordy! I am glad the video was helpful and you got the light to shut off! My advice is to do what you have a passion for. If you like fish and the ocean, give marine science a try. One thing you dont realize at 17 is that you will be working the rest of your life. Even if you are making a ton of money, you will be working. I rather work a job where I make good enough money but really love the job than make a killing but hate my job. Hope that helps!
