Resetting the maintenance light on a 2020-present Toyota Highlander (XU70) is a straightforward process. Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide to help you through the reset procedure.

Tools Required
  • No special tools are required for this process. However, you may need:
    • A pen or pencil (optional for taking notes)
    • The vehicle key or key fob
Repair Instructions

Step 1: Turn the Ignition On

  1. Enter the vehicle: Sit in the driver’s seat and close all doors.
  2. Insert the key or push the start button: If your Highlander has a traditional key, insert it and turn it to the "ON" position without starting the engine. If it has a push-button start, press the button twice without pressing the brake pedal.

Step 2: Access the Multi-Information Display

  1. Locate the multi-information display (MID): This is the display located in the instrument cluster, typically in the center of the dashboard.
  2. Use the steering wheel controls: Navigate using the buttons on the steering wheel. Look for the “Menu” or “Info” button.

Step 3: Navigate to the Maintenance Menu

  1. Scroll through the options: Use the up and down arrows on the steering wheel until you find the “Settings” or “Maintenance” menu.
  2. Select the Maintenance option: Press the “OK” or “Enter” button to select it.

Step 4: Reset the Maintenance Light

  1. Choose “Maintenance Reset”: In the Maintenance menu, find the option that says “Maintenance Reset” or “Reset Maintenance Light.”
  2. Confirm the reset: Select the reset option, and you may need to confirm by selecting "Yes" when prompted. The maintenance light should now reset.

Step 5: Verify the Reset

  1. Turn off the ignition: After resetting, turn off the vehicle.
  2. Start the engine: Turn the ignition back on and check the dashboard to ensure the maintenance light is no longer illuminated.
Additional Notes
  • Service intervals: Be aware that the maintenance light typically illuminates based on mileage or time intervals, so be sure to keep track of your service schedule.
  • Consult the Owner's Manual: For any specific instructions related to your vehicle model, refer to the owner’s manual, as procedures may vary slightly between different trims or models within the Highlander range.
Conclusion

You have successfully reset the maintenance light on your Toyota Highlander (2020-present). Regularly check your vehicle's maintenance schedule and maintain records for future reference. If the maintenance light reappears shortly after resetting, it may indicate that additional issues need to be addressed.
