I know on the older models there is a tiny rubber plug that you remove from the instrument cluster, and push a pin in to reset. Don't know if this applies to the later models though?

I assume you mean a service light not the low pressure light?


If you do mean the service light an Indie with a proper diagnostic computer should be able to reset it.

Is it a 'spanner' icon, yellow'ish in colour? If so, it's an oil-change service interval light. It should be resettable by essentially starting the engine with the trip-meter button kept pressed for several seconds - it should show a series of dashes to show that something's happening.

Such a pointless light - but I still love my Toyota!
