Anyone have this problem? My maintenance light will flash about 4-5 times right when I first start my car then it stops flashing?

hmmmmmmmm

Uhh, all cars do it. Its normal.

It is time for an oil change. My 06 will do that, eventually the light will stay on. It will need to be reset. I beleive this info is in the owners manual.

jk... yea time for oil change

i know it usually flashes once car is started once, but this goes for 4-5 times after all the lights shut off.
Oil Change? Hmmmmm I'm not up for an oil change yet I'll have to take a look ...and I looked in the owners manual (LOL) first place i checked it said take to get serviced, i was just wondering if anyone knew off hand or had any suggestions

thanks!

If it wasn't reset on your last oil change it will need to be done (reset). Most places will not reset this if you are having your oil changed by someone.

Maybe you need an oil change or you're close to needing one.

Are you almost hitting 5,000miles on your xB?

Maybe not. See above posts. It will NOT reset itself after an oil change.

It means you either need an oil change or the last time you got one it wasnt reset. It is normal my 06.5 did this already and i called the dealership right away and it turned out that the last time i had my oil changed it wasnt reset. It's perfectly normal nothing to worry about. If your not due for an oil change then just reset it.

You are correct it doesnt reset itself the tech must do that himself.

Like everybody is saying. Either you are due for a Service or whoever did your last Oil Change didn't reset it. If you want to Reset your Light.

Here's how you do it: Hold the Trip/Clock Button Down, Turn the Key On. The Maintenance Light will either come On and stay on, then go Off or will Flash several times, then go Off.
Once it goes Off, Turn the key Off and then Release the Button. Then Start the car up and it will go Off. Try that.

i have NEVER had a Scion/Toyota service tech reset the timer while at the dealer for scheduled oil changes. i always have to do it myself after the fact--good thing it's so easy to do : )
