Hi, all. I've had a "need service soon" message and amber triangle symbol for a couple of weeks and cleared all of the reminders for service. The oil change isn't for another 5k. Now the message is "need service" with the same symbol. This is a 2015 LS with 5k on the odo. I called the dealer and was told that only they can turn the light off. This 5K service is free and includes everything that I do at least every month and...resetting the maintenance light! I doubt that this service is required to maintain the warranty so I would like to turn the light off. Does anyone know if this is possible without going to the dealer? Oh, by the way they also check the driver's floor mat. Thanks

 

You can reset “Maintenance Needed” alert yourself in a minute. Here are instructions from Owner's Manual:
- Switch odometer display to Trip Meter A
- Turn engine switch OFF
- While holding “Trip Reset” down, switch ignition to ON (do not start engine)
- Continue to hold until display says “Complete”
Good luck.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I though that I had done a complete search of the manual but apparently not. The dealer lied to me again.

 

Section 6.2 Maintenance - pg 732 of my manual. I printed out the page and stuck it in my glove box, as I have no memory left!!

I have a friend with an RX350 and the dealer told her the same thing about the maintenance light. Apparently that is SOP for dealers to get people in more often!
