Today we’ll be showing you how to reset your Toyota Sienna maintenance light in a 2013 3.5 L 2GR-FE V6 Toyota Sienna LE. Once your Sienna has driven 5000 miles, the ECU has a preprogrammed condition to trigger your MAINT REQD light and gently remind you that scheduled service should be performed.
There can be a variety of reasons to why you want to reset your Toyota Sienna maintenance light. Either you have already changed your oil, or you use a higher grade synthetic oil that doesn’t call for an oil change until much later than 5,000 miles. Taking your Toyota Sienna to reset this light can be a hassle and a unnecessary inconvenience.
