K.C. Dia Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 9800 miles on my 2011, and the oil maintenance required indicator comes on so I have a yellow warning light in my face, and my display occupied with this text warning, and no obvious way to get rid of them horrible! somebody please tell me there is a way to kill the light and display without going to the dealer thanks Here is how you do it on the 2010 ES 350. 1. With the car on, switch the odometer to TRIP A. 2. Turn car off 3. Hold down the odometer reset button while car is off . 4. Hit the start button with foot OFF the brake. After a few seconds, the maintenance reset message will appear. When it resets, hit the start button a couple of times without stepping on the gas to turn everything off. You can then starat the car normally. .ii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Mother Lexus wants you to know how to do it. BTW, in step 4, "without stepping on the gas" obviously should be without stepping on the brake. Let me know if it works.

pj8708 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I have checked my owners manual and the reset procedure is not in there. Simply phone the dealer. Just curious....why did the message light up in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner45 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Did you have a yellow engine maintenance warning or a red ! warning? My '09 has the red ! and my old '04 just had yellow warning. Seems a red ! is overkill for oil change reminder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a red ! is overkill for oil change reminder. it is yellow, universally known to mean warning, or caution red, universally known as "get the f*ck to a service station quick" is WRONG for a maintained indicator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
