Method 1: Using the Odometer/Trip Meter Buttons:
1. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (don't start the engine).
2. Locate the odometer buttons. These are usually on the steering wheel or instrument cluster stalk.
3. Press and hold a specific button (often the trip meter reset button) for several seconds (5-10 usually works).
4. Cycle through the menu. You'll likely need to press and hold and then cycle through various screens displayed on the odometer. You may see options like "Maintenance Required," "Oil Life," or similar.
5. Reset the indicator. When you see the "Oil Life" or similar option, usually pressing and holding that specific button will reset it. This process might involve cycling through the options until you see it.
Method 2: Combination of Key Turns and Button Presses:
This is less common but possible on some 2007 Tundras. You might need to:
1. Turn the ignition on and off repeatedly (a specific number of times, often 3 or 5).
2. Press and hold a button on the odometer while cycling through the ignition.
If neither method works:
* Consult your owner's manual: The most reliable information is in your truck's owner's manual. Look for the section on maintenance indicators or resetting the oil life monitor.
* Search online for your specific trim level: Searching for "2007 Toyota Tundra [Your Trim Level] oil light reset" on Google or YouTube will often yield videos or detailed instructions.
Important Considerations:
* Don't start the engine while resetting the light. This is crucial for the process to work correctly.
* If you're unsure about any step, stop. Incorrectly manipulating the odometer controls could cause other issues.
* If you can't reset the light after trying several times, it's best to take your Tundra to a mechanic. There might be a more complex problem.
Remember to always properly dispose of your used motor oil.
