To reset the engine oil light on your Toyota 4Runner, you do not need any external diagnostic devices. Just use some buttons on the instrument panel.

Follow these steps carefully. First, insert the key and turn on the vehicle's ignition.

Then locate the button below the speedometer and press it multiple times until you see "Trip A" on the mini display. At this point, turn off the ignition and turn it back on without releasing the button.

Wait for the reset to complete, and finally, release the button.
