^ heh, people in America are lazy as hell. that's why sometimes i won't use the search button.

[eTiMaGo]

genius idea!!!!!

new computers will now require a "search button required" indicator to light up when the user is about to post a stupid question on a forum!

I should patent it and become a millionnaire... how many people use AOL anyway?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

BAH, AOL. hate it. slow and $$$. that's we got rid of it.

Hey, I know this is a forum to ask questions and get answers/information........but I see (and so do You) the same questions asked over and over again; how do you turn/reset the maint light off; what kind of oil and oil filter should I use; which is the best; what kind of gas mileage do you get etc. I know the "search" thingy would help cause there is a shitload of answers in there for all these same questions. Ok, maybe it's just as easy to post a new thread, I don't know. Maybe there just isn't anything else to ask on a Yaris ?
Or Maybe I'm just ranting because I'm in a bad mood and getting bored ?! I need a drink.

I tried a search buddy, but these forum searches almost never give you what you want. By all means if you find them in the search then post them here please.
I also went through many pages of the DIY section, and gave up after a while since i was coming up on nothing I needed.

Also thankx for those that responded, it worked

If I find them, post them? Ok, here's one.......try four above your thread you posted.The one that says...."Resetting Service Required Light".
Correction for eTiMaGo, users do not post stupid questions on this forum . Just incase, I need to clarify.......I was not insinuating (did I spell it right?) that "anyone" was posting a stupid question/s. Also, Kaotic Lazagna (great name ) ......SOME, NOT all people in America are lazy .
Like I said, I was ranting
(All the above are opinions and/or suggestions)
Thnx. anyway....

The last time I needed to do this I had forgotten (from the previous time) how to do it, so I did a YouTube search. A video does exist on YouTube that is very succinct and I was able to quickly reset the light.

Does anyone know if this reset procedure works on the 3rd generation 2012's?
