2010–2026 Toyota 4Runner FAQ
When should I inspect or replace the cabin air filter?
2025–2026
Inspect and replace it according to the maintenance schedule; dusty areas or heavy traffic may require earlier replacement, and dramatically reduced vent airflow indicates a possible clog.
Page 557 in the 2026 manual →2014–2024
The filter may be clogged, so check it and replace it if necessary.
Keep a filter installed whenever you use the air conditioning system, because operating without one may cause damage.
Page 446 in the 2024 manual →2010–2013
The filter may be clogged, so check it and replace it if necessary; always keep a filter installed to prevent possible system damage.
Page 556 in the 2013 manual →What should I do when “Oil Maintenance Required” is displayed?
2025–2026
The engine oil should be changed; have the engine oil and oil filter changed by your Toyota dealer, then reset the message.
Page 589 in the 2026 manual →2010–2013
Perform general maintenance daily and scheduled maintenance at the specified intervals in the maintenance schedule.
The supplied pages do not list the specific scheduled intervals or maintenance items.
Page 514 in the 2013 manual →When should I perform maintenance after “Maintenance Required Soon” appears?
2025–2026
Perform the scheduled maintenance soon; this reminder appears approximately 4500 miles (7200 km) after it was reset.
Reset the message after maintenance is completed.
Page 589 in the 2026 manual →2010–2013
- In U.S. models, reset the data after required maintenance is completed according to the schedule.
- With the engine running, display trip meter A, then turn off the engine switch or ENGINE START STOP switch.
- Without a smart key, hold the trip meter reset button while turning the engine switch to ON; do not start the engine, and hold until 000000 appears.
- With a smart key, hold the trip meter reset button while selecting IGNITION ON; do not start the engine, and hold until 000000 appears.
What happens if the check engine light stays on?
2025–2026
If the malfunction indicator lamp remains on after several driving trips, your vehicle may not pass the I/M emissions test.
Page 525 in the 2026 manual →2014–2024
A problem was found in the emission control system by the OBD system, so have your Toyota dealer service the vehicle.
The vehicle might fail the I/M test and could require repair.
Page 408 in the 2024 manual →2010–2013
- A loose fuel tank cap can cause a temporary malfunction and may prevent the vehicle from passing the I/M test.
- A disconnected or discharged battery can also prevent passing because readiness codes may not be completely set, depending on driving habits.
How should I replace the automatic transmission fluid?
2014–2026
If automatic transmission fluid replacement is necessary, contact your Toyota dealer and use Toyota Genuine ATF WS.
Using another transmission fluid may cause abnormal noise or vibration, or damage the transmission.
Page 619 in the 2026 manual →2010–2013
The warning light means the automatic transmission fluid temperature is too high.
Stop in a safe place and shift to P; if the light stays on, contact your Toyota dealer.
Page 596 in the 2013 manual →What should I do if I lose an electronic key?
2025–2026
Visit your Toyota dealer immediately with all remaining electronic keys because leaving one lost significantly increases the risk of vehicle theft.
Page 605 in the 2026 manual →What does a tire pressure warning light that flashes and stays on mean?
2025–2026
If the tire pressure warning light blinks for approximately 1 minute and then stays on, the system may be malfunctioning; have your Toyota dealer inspect the vehicle immediately.
Page 585 in the 2026 manual →What do the yellow and red electric power steering warning lights mean?
2025–2026
A yellow light means steering assist is restricted; a red light means assist is lost and steering becomes extremely heavy, so grip the wheel firmly and use more force than usual.
Page 585 in the 2026 manual →How do I turn the high beams on and off?
2025–2026
- When the headlights are on, move the lever forward to switch on the high beams.
- Return the lever to center to switch them off, or pull and release it for one flash; flashing works whether the headlights are on or off.
When should I replace the air conditioning filter?
2014–2024
Follow the maintenance schedule to inspect and replace the air conditioning filter; dusty or heavy-traffic areas may call for earlier replacement.
Page 446 in the 2024 manual →What should I do if I lose an electronic key?
2014–2024
If an electronic key remains lost, visit your Toyota dealer immediately with all remaining electronic keys because the risk of vehicle theft increases significantly.
Page 105 in the 2024 manual →What should I do if the ABS or SRS warning light does not come on?
2010–2013
If the ABS or SRS warning light does not come on when you start the engine, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately because the system may not protect you in an accident, risking death or serious injury.
Page 198 in the 2013 manual →What do the warning lights mean?
2010–2013
Warning lights indicate malfunctions in the vehicle's systems.
Page 197 in the 2013 manual →What should I do if I lose a smart key?
2010–2013
If a smart-key vehicle key remains lost, take all remaining electronic keys to your Toyota dealer immediately because theft risk increases significantly.
