I don't know how to reset Maintenance alert appears on screen every 5000 miles or Cabin air filter replacement every 15000 miles . Thank you
I assume you are referring to the dashboard idiot light and not the Nav system calendar-based alert. I just recently bought an '06 SC430 and the dealer had forgotten to reset the Maint Reqd light after the oil/filter was replaced. Fortunately they told me over the phone how to reset the light. Not sure this will work on your model but:
- Make certain the odometer is set to Odo (not trip A or B)
- Insert your key but do not turn on (yet)
- Press and hold the odometer reset button
- Turn on the key but do not start the engine, continue holding the Odo reset
- The odometer should blink or show dashes (mine showed increasing dashes)
- After a few seconds, the Maint Reqd will be reset (the odo went all dashes)
I hope that helps if you haven't gotten it reset yet (I see your post was almost a month ago).

you do know the car must be in park and ignition on??????
Thank you for your response , but you might not get my point . in Lexus model 2005 up . computer set up Maintenance schedule alert , it pops off on screen when your car hits 5000 miles from the last oil change or 15000 miles from the last filter replacement , it always appears Alert MANTENANCE REQUIRE when you driving , someone told me to take out battery negative for a while and put back , but i don't think it's the right way , i saw once the Lexus mechanic guy clicked on Navigation button??? or mileage reset button??? when i brought my car back because he forgot to reset Alert . I don't want to pay $135 for oil change at dealer but i don't now how to solve that problem . ThangTran

check your transmission fluid . Park your car in level , put gear in Neural and parking brake on , start engine and check fluid while engine running . my 2002 SC 430 just completed 60000 mile maintenance at Lexus dealer by previous owner , they put to much transmission fluid , i got the problem like yours ,i drained out the overfluid , now it's much much better .
