3 Easy Steps -Toyota Yaris 2007-2011 Oil Changer Reset

Reliable and economical, the subcompact Yaris is Toyota's least expensive car. Fuel economy is excellent, with a tested 32 mpg overall in the sedan with the automatic transmission, and 30 in the hatchback with the manual. But that's about where the good news ends. An awkward driving position forces you to drive with arms extended and legs bent. Cheap fit-and-finish and an annoying center-mounted gauge cluster feel cut-rate. Acceleration is adequate, but engine drone intrudes, making the car very noisy inside. At least the ride is compliant and handling is reasonably responsive. Emergency handling is secure with the stability control that became standard in 2010, though earlier models without it could be a handful.  

After changing the engine Oil


The oil change system should be reset. Perform the following procedures:

STEP 1 Turn the engine switch off with the Trip A reading shown.

STEP 2  Turn the engine switch to the ON position while holding down the ODO/TRIP button.

STEP 3 Continue to press and hold the button until the trip meter displays 000000.

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