With the engine turned off, press and hold the short-distance trip meter reset button located below the tachometer. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then release the short-distance trip meter reset button. The display will show the "SERVICE" indicator. Pull out the minute button on the clock and turn it to the right. The mileage will appear on the display. Turn off the engine to reset the reminder message. When you turn the ignition switch to the ON position again, the "SERVICE" indicator will disappear, indicating that the reset is complete and the maintenance reminder has been cleared.

I did this when I first started playing with cars. Resetting the maintenance light on a 2020 Highlander is pretty straightforward. Turn off the engine, turn the key to the ON position without starting it, use the control button on the dashboard to repeatedly press and switch to the settings menu, find the vehicle maintenance option, select reset maintenance light, and confirm. Just remember to follow the steps carefully and don’t click randomly. If the reset fails, you might not have pressed the buttons correctly—just try a few more times. The maintenance light is designed to remind you of regular servicing, and resetting it helps you better track the next maintenance interval. If you’re unsure about the steps, check the manual or ask for help at a shop—safety first. Resetting it promptly after maintenance avoids misleading alerts and extends your car’s lifespan. Leaving the light on can be annoying. In short, make sure the car is parked securely and stay focused before you start.

As a daily driver, I reset this light myself after every maintenance. The method is to turn off the engine, turn the key to the ON position without starting, press the small button on the right side of the dashboard a few times to enter the maintenance settings, select the reset option, and confirm to finish. Take your time during the operation to avoid mistakes. If the light doesn't go off, check if the maintenance is completed or if the operation sequence is messed up. I recommend combining it with an app to record maintenance history for easy management. Usually, pay more attention to the dashboard prompts, and keeping the car healthy will save a lot of trouble. I've been driving the Highlander for several years, and these small tips have been a great help.

To reset the maintenance light, first turn off the engine, then turn the key to the second position without starting the car. Use the buttons on the dashboard to navigate to the maintenance menu and select reset. The operation is simple, just be patient. Make sure to do this when the car is safely parked. It's annoying to have the light on all the time, and resetting it promptly ensures accurate reminders for the next maintenance. Perform this step after maintenance to keep your car running well for a long distance.

Resetting the maintenance light is not difficult. Turn the engine key to the ON position, press the instrument button to navigate to the maintenance settings, and select reset. If the operation goes smoothly, it's done. If it fails, it might be due to system cache issues—try turning the key off and on again or manually recording the time. Regular maintenance combined with resetting the light ensures smoother operation of the Highlander. Before proceeding, read the manual to prevent errors, as maintenance details are quite important.

I've tried resetting the maintenance light a few times: Turn the key to ON without starting the engine after shutting off the car, use the instrument panel buttons to enter settings, navigate to the maintenance menu, and select reset to complete. It's super convenient to get it done in one go – don't let that light fool you. Reset it after regular maintenance for better vehicle condition and longer lifespan. Managing the warning light is a small trick that can enhance driving peace of mind. Make sure the environment is safe when operating, and take your time without rushing.
