Default How do you reset the "maint reqd" message?

"Maint Reqd message came on a few weeks ago. I have had full maintenance done by my local mechanic because the closest Lexus dealer is 150 miles away. Is there a hack to remove the message? A secret button like for the Tire Low message?
thanks

Turn the ignition to "on" without starting the engine. Press and hold "reset" on the odometer trip button (make sure Trip A or B is not selected). Then hold until it says "mileage reset" on the dash. I'd keep holding it and turn on the engine. The message should disappear.

Default Reverse the order

If you first push and hold the reset button and then turn the ignition to on, the maint reqd message gets cleared.
