...an oil change? I bought my car in Los Angeles and later, drove it to Austin, TX. I had to get an oil change in Tucson and did not go to a Toyota dealer. The service engine light is still on, despite having reset my oil change maintenance icon. Are they the only people with the ability to turn off that light? (I purchased the car used and it did not come with an owner's manual.) I have to get my car inspected and am afraid it will not pass as long as that light is on.
 
your service engine light should not come on for oil maintenance only the maintenance light should come on
 
no i use to work at a side garage and had the same car come in there. its simple to reset it
1. Turn the power switch IG-ON and make sure that the ODO/TRIP meter is displaying the odometer.
2. Turn the power switch OFF.
3. While pushing the ODO button, turn the power switch IG-ON.
4. The reminder light will flash until the reset is completed.
5. The reset is complete when the reminder light turns OFF. Release the ODO button.
6. After the reset, the ODO/TRIP meter displays as a set of zeros for 1 second, then displays your normal odometer mileage.
