Maintenance and Care
After replacing the engine oil, have a repair shop such as your Scion
dealer perform the initialization (engine oil data resetting) of the
recorded value. If the value recorded by the computer is not initialized,
the wrench indicator light may not turn off or it may turn on earlier than
normal.
● This procedure is intended for vehicles with the engine oil flexible mainte-
nance setting selected.
● The initialization (engine oil data resetting) of the recorded value can be per-
formed using the following procedure:
Switch the ignition OFF.
Vehicle Engine Control Unit Reset Procedure
Switch the ignition ON with the selec-
tor pressed, and press and hold the
selector for about 5 seconds until the
master warning light flashes.
After the master warning light
flashes for several seconds, the ini-
tialization is completed.
