Toyota 4Runner Oil Life Reset: Push Button Start 5th Gen

After you change the oil in your 5th generation Toyota 4Runner, you still need to reset the oil maintenance reminder, or it will keep pestering you! This video will show you how to perform the oil life reset on 4Runners equipped with the push button start feature.

To reset, turn the vehicle on (without starting the engine) by pressing the "Engine Start Stop" button twice without your foot on the brake. With the vehicle now on, scroll through the options with the trip button until you reach "Trip A". Now, press the "Engine Start Stop" button again to turn the vehicle off. With the vehicle off, press and hold the trip button with one hand, and with the other, press the "Engine Start Stop" button two times again. The "Resetting of Oil Maintenance Data" screen should display with a progress/timer bar. Continue holding the trip button until this screen goes away. Start up the vehicle normally to confirm the oil maintenance required alert is gone, and you're done!

It's been a while since I've had to change the oil on the 4Runner and I actually had to watch my own video to remember how to do this reset! I thought I would have my "Ultimate 5th Gen 4Runner Oil Change" video out long ago, but I'm still working on a final touch. I definitely need to get that done soon! It's been too long since I said I'd have the oil change video on my channel.

Fleet mechanic here: thanks a bunch! Seems like every car has a different set of steps for maintenance reset 😂

[mikesilva]

Outstanding explanation. My owners manual was NO help and that display was taunting me for weeks. Thank you. Now if I could just get the oil change pros to set the oil maintenance due further out since I use the synthetics.

Thank you for a clear explanation, i was trying to follow what a toyota dealers website said to do to reset it and it wasn’t working, because apparently it wasn’t even close. Your steps worked perfectly.

Thank you! Exactly what I needed, and you wasted no time.
