I recently solved the maintenance reminder issue on my Toyota Sienna, and the process was quite straightforward. First, you need to park and turn off the engine, ensuring it's completely shut down. Then, turn the key to the ON position (where the dashboard lights up but the engine doesn't start). In this mode, locate the ODO button or display toggle button on the lower left side of the steering wheel. Press it several times until the maintenance reminder screen appears. At this point, don't release the button—hold it down for about 10 seconds, and the reminder will disappear. I've tried this multiple times, and it worked every time. The key is not to panic; once the time elapses, it resets. This system is designed to remind us of regular maintenance. After resetting, remember to schedule your service promptly so the next reminder appears on time. Otherwise, engine wear could lead to more costly repairs. Details may vary slightly between models—for example, button placement differs between older and newer versions—so keeping the manual handy is always a good habit, saving you a trip to the dealer.
