How to Reset Toyota Prius Warning Lights

What do you do when you see those Toyota Prius warning lights pop up? If you see your Toyota maintenance light activated, there’s no need to panic. Your Prius warning lights are indicating that your Prius is due for service soon. If it’s been about 5,000 miles since you last had your oil changed, for example, you’ll see an indicator light letting you know that it’s time to schedule service at your Ontario service center near Rancho Cucamonga. That said, continuing to drive with your Toyota Prius maintenance light flashing isn’t a good idea. Reset your Toyota maintenance light until you arrive for service by following these steps, then contact us if you have any further questions! Better yet, schedule service to have one of our technicians reset the light for you.
