pauljcl Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Does anyone how to reset the maintenance light on a RX330 06. If it is like the 09RX350, you make sure the odometer is set to 'normal' mileage, then turn off engine. Keep the button that changes odometer to trip mileage pressed, and turn key to 'ignition'. After a short while, a message scrolls across the odometer and the maintenance light goes out. You then let go of the button that changes odometer to trip. It is important to make sure you are in 'normal' odometer mode before you start the process, and that you turn the ignition key only after you hve the button pressed. This si explained somewhere 'deep' in the manual. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I got no message in the ODO window, after holding the button down for about 15 seconds, i released the button and turned the key off. When i restarted the engine the check engine light was out. :) Wonder how long it'll stay out? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauljcl Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Eight days later and the check engine light is still off I guess it is an easy fx for all those 'check codes'. Who needs to change sensors, plugs, coils etc... anymore? (joke) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resetting the maint req light is much different than the check engine light. The maint req light tells you it is time to change the oil and get the scheduled maint for the mileage your car is at. The maint req light would not come on after 8 days unless you drove for about 5000 miles in that time period. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I've ever seen a maint. req. light on this model and not even sure it has one. I'll check the owner's manual to see for sure but in the past, say for a 90,000 mile inspection, the check engine light comes on about 500 miles before the event and AFAIK there's nothing due right now. Like I say, its the wife's car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comment that came later concerned a RX300. The RX330 and subs. have maintenance lights. The (older) RX300 does not, but it seems the procedure to stop the maintenance light that works on the RX330 et subs. has the same effect on the Check Engine light of the RX300.....

For slow people like me who didn't understand "turn key to ignition", it means just turn the key to the "ON" position and not actually crank the engine on. Cheers!
