What Does The Lexus Maintenance Required Light Mean?

Have you been driving your new or pre-owned Lexus around the greater Reseda area? Has a new symbol illuminated on your dashboard? Not sure what your Lexus maintenance warning light means? This light serves as an automatic reminder for drivers, typically appearing after approximately 3,500 to 5,000 miles of travel in Tarzana and the neighboring communities. While its illumination doesn’t signal a problem with your Lexus parts, it does indicate that it’s time to schedule your next 5,000-mile service. Below, the team at our Woodland Hills dealership provides further details about the Lexus Maintenance Required light and explains how to reset it.

What Service Do I Need?

Whether you’re running errands in Calabasas or in the middle of a long-distance road trip out past Canoga Park, when your maintenance light pops on, it usually indicates that you need a 5,000-mile service. The maintenance you’ll receive includes:

• Engine oil change
• Filter change
• Tire rotation
• Multi-point inspection
• Fluid inspection
• Fluid adjustment

However, you may also require additional services, depending on your specific model. Feel free to ask our technicians for advice.

What Is The Lexus Maintenance Cost?

The usual cost for Lexus maintenance typically falls between $75 and $135. Before booking any service, be sure to review your new vehicle warranty. New Lexus vehicles come with complimentary coverage for the first two scheduled maintenance services, generally performed at 6 months/5,000 miles and 12 months/10,000 miles. However, after driving many miles back and forth to your workplace in Encino, you will need to account for additional services. Timing belt repairs, ignition tune-ups, and windshield wiper replacements all factor into your total Lexus maintenance costs.

Can I Reset The Lexus Maintenance Light?

Should you wish to reset your Lexus Maintenance warning light before bringing your vehicle to our service center, simply follow these instructions:

• Turn on your engine.
• Flip your Odometer/Trip Display to ODO mode or TRIP A mode, depending on the model.
• Turn the ignition switch off.
• Hold the Trip Meter Reset button while turning the ignition switch back on.
• Wait for the maintenance light to blink, turn solid, and then turn off.
• Let go of the Trip Meter Reset button.
• Turn the ignition switch to the off position.
• Turn the ignition switch back on and make sure the Lexus Maintenance Warning Light goes out.
