Hey there - my 07 FJ just hit 26,000, and a maintenance required light came on, and has stayed on. Any idea what this light means? I figure it is some preset deal to get you to go get expensive dealer maintenance services?
Truck runs fine, no issues...If it is a preset, how do I turn it off?/
Also, anyone ever replaced a front windshield? Toyota is claiming at is gonna cost me $1100....

(h) Engine Oil Replacement Reminder
Light (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.)
This light acts as a reminder to replace
the engine oil.
This light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to “ON” and will go off after
about a few seconds.
When you drive for about 7200 km (4500
miles) after the engine oil replacement,
this light illuminates for about 3 seconds
and then flashes for about 12 seconds
with the ignition key turned to the “ON”
position. If you continue driving without
the engine oil replacement, and if the driving
range exceeds 8000 km (5000 miles),
the light will come on after the ignition
key is turned to the “ON” position. The
light will remain on thereafter.
If the light is flashing, we recommend that
you replace the engine oil at an early
opportunity depending on the driving and
road condition. If the light comes on, replace
it as soon as possible.
You need to reset the light after the engine
oil replacement. Reset the light by
following the procedure below:
1. Turn the ignition key to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position with the odometer
reading shown. (For details, see
“Odometer and two trip meters” on
page 100 in this Section.)
2. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position
while holding down the trip meter
reset knob.
Hold down the knob for at least 5 seconds.
The indicator light flashes and the
bars displayed in the odometer disappear
gradually. The odometer indicates “000000”
and the light goes off.
If the system fails to reset, the light will
remain flashing.
(i) “ABS” Warning Light
The light comes on when the ignition key
is turned to the “ON” position. If the anti−
lock brake system and the brake assist
system work properly, the light turns off
after a few seconds. Thereafter, if either
of the systems malfunctions, the light
comes on again.
That light comes on after 5000 miles from the last time it was reset. It is to remind you to get your oil changed. If you want to reset it you need to turn your key off, press and hold the odometer reset button, Turn the key on and hold that button until you see the display clear and the light go off.

Before ya get fried I just want to let ya know to use the search feature before posting, these topics have been discussed in depth multiple times.
the Maintanence light most likely is a preset. look in your owners manual, it tells ya how to turn it off, also has the service reqired schedule so you know why it came on in the first place.
the windshield, yep they are expensive. the general consensus on this issue is to lower your insurance deductable as low as you can and have them replace it. usually around 100 bucks.
...edit..wow you guys are fast!!^^^

Yeah, it means that you have driven 5,000 miles since the last time someone reset it.

Turn ignition key on, make sure your odometer is on the main reading (not trip "A" or "B"), turn key off, press and hold the odometer reset button, continue to hold it while you turn on the ignition, continue to hold it for about five seconds until it quits beeping and flashing. You have now reset it for another 5,000 miles.

It's cool, yeah sometimes the search sux but at least you know it's there.
I found that after you do the search look at the bottom of the page and you'll see similar threads, this also shows with out the search. I found more information there than in the threads that show up in the search.
