How to Reset : " Main. Req. "
All,
well I got a oil change this morning...but the Main. Req. light is still on (the red ! in the middle of the RPM cluster), does anyone know how to turn this light and warning off?
Or is it because of the BBK kit and the brake sensor, cause this is also now on......

Try this.
1. get in car, shut doors. put key in ignition and do not move it.
2. make sure your odometer is on total miles and not trip A or trip B. If it is not on total, then push the button right next to it to scroll through trips A and B and back to the total miles.
3. now take you finger off the button and wait a second.
4. With your left hand push that button in and hold it, DO NOT take you finger off it.
5. With your right hand turn the key to the ON position. DO NOT START the car.
6. Keep your finger on the button until the maint. reminder light flashes at you or goes out.
7. Turn the key back to off.
8. Take your finger off the button.
Now start the car normally, the maint. reminder light should be out.
If it doesn't work, repeat the procedure and reverse steps 7 and 8.

remove the connector to the brake sensor
jump the wire
lexus elec brake sensors are a closes circuit when it becomes open it signals the brake light to be turned on
