3 easy Steps Oil Maintenance Reset Toyota Tundra 2000-2006 Year Model
We regarded the 2000 model year Tundra as an excellent pickup truck. It's comfortable, quiet, handles relatively well and has a super smooth powertrain. Toyota's pickup also tows and hauls convincingly. The IIHS says the Tundra is also capable of good offset-crash-test results, which is a considerable plus. A crew cab with optional stability control was added to the lineup for the 2004 model year. 

 

The system must be reset after the engine oil replacement. 


Reset the system bythe following procedure:

Engine Oil Replacement Reminder.Light.This light acts as a reminder when to replace the engine oil. This light will come on when the ignition key is turned to “ON” and will go off afterabout a few seconds.When you drive for about 7200 km (4500 miles) after the engine oil replacement, this light illuminates for about 3 seconds and then flashes for about 12 seconds with the ignition key turned to the “ON” position. If you continue driving without replacing the engine oil, and if the dis- tance driven exceeds 8000 km (5000 miles), the light will come on after the ignition key is turned to “ON” position. The light will remain on thereafter.
 
If the light is flashing, we recommend that you replace the engine oil at an early opportunity depending on the driving and road conditions. If the light comes on replace it as soon as possible.

STEP 1 . Turn the ignition key to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position with the odometer reading shown.

STEP 2 . Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position while holding down the trip meter reset knob.

STEP 3 . Hold down the knob for at least 5 seconds. The odometer indicates “000000” and the light goes off.

If the system fails to reset, the light will continue flashing.
