Reset the Service Indicator

Last updated: May 17, 2026

The Toyota Aygo Mk2 (B40, 2014–2021) — Toyota’s smallest European-market car, built in Kolín (Czech Republic) at the joint Toyota-PSA TPCA plant, in 1.0 VVT-i (1KR-FE, 51 kW pre-facelift / 53 kW facelift) and the short-lived 1.2 VTi (1PP, 60 kW, 2014–2018) — uses Toyota’s modern multi-information display (MID) menu reset, not the older trip-recorder button-and-hold method. The procedure is identical across the pre-facelift (2014–2018) and facelift (2018–2021) cars and across every engine.

When to Reset the Service Indicator

• After completing an oil and filter change.
• After a scheduled inspection service.
• If the spanner / wrench icon with “Maintenance Required” appears at startup.

Before You Start

• Park on a level surface with the engine off, then turn the ignition on without starting (key turn to “ON” — almost all Aygo Mk2s are key-start, only the high-trim x-clusiv / x-press models had push-button).
• Complete the actual service work before the reset.
• Locate the multi-information display steering-wheel controls — the small cluster of switches on the steering wheel that drives the MID menus. On x-play and lower trims without MID steering controls, the dedicated DISP button at the bottom of the cluster takes you through the same menus.

Tools and Supplies

None for the reset itself. For the oil change: fresh Toyota-spec oil — 0W-20 ACEA C5 / Toyota Genuine 0W-20 is the modern fill (factory fill was 0W-16 on later cars, 5W-30 on early pre-facelift); a new cartridge filter; the 1.0 1KR-FE takes 3.1 L with filter, the 1.2 1PP takes 3.0 L. Sump-plug torque is 40 Nm. The cartridge filter housing on the 1KR-FE has a small 14 mm hex on top — torque 25 Nm.

The Service Reset Procedure

1. Turn the ignition ON (engine off).
2. Using the MID controls (steering wheel switches, or the DISP button on the cluster), scroll to the Settings menu on the multi-information display.
3. Enter Settings and scroll to Vehicle settings. Press OK (or DISP-and-hold on cluster-button cars).
4. Scroll to Scheduled Maintenance and select it.
5. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm the reset. The MID will typically ask you to confirm the next service distance / months — press OK on each prompt.
6. Switch the ignition off. Reset complete.

Verify the Reset Worked

Switch the ignition off, wait 30 seconds, then cycle back on. The spanner / “Maintenance Required” icon that was appearing at startup should be gone. Re-open Settings → Vehicle settings → Scheduled Maintenance and the next service distance should now read a fresh full interval. Toyota’s official UK schedule for the Aygo Mk2 is 10,000 miles (15,000 km) or 12 months, whichever comes first, on every engine. UK severe-service / short-trip driving requires halving the interval manually.

Troubleshooting

• The MID won’t enter the Settings menu. Make sure the ignition is on and the car isn’t moving. On cluster-button cars (no steering-wheel switches), press the DISP button briefly to scroll between screens, then press-and-hold to enter the Settings menu.
• Scheduled Maintenance doesn’t appear. Very early 2014 Aygo Mk2 cars (pre-November build) shipped with the menu localised differently for some markets — the option may be labelled Service interval or Maintenance schedule in your language. The menu position is the same.
• I reset but the spanner returns after a few miles. 12V battery condition — the Aygo’s tiny battery (typically a Yuasa YBX9054 or similar 45 Ah unit) is particularly prone to age-related drift. Load-test; replace if older than 4 years on a car driven mostly on short trips.
• Citroën C1 / Peugeot 108 — same procedure? No. The C1 and 108 share the Aygo’s platform and bodyshell but use the PSA infotainment and a different cluster — the reset path is via the PSA cluster trip-recorder method, not the Toyota MID. They get their own guide.
• x-clusiv with push-button start — anything different? No. The push-button just changes how you turn the ignition on; the MID menu is identical.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the spanner symbol on the Aygo Mk2 mean?

On the B40 Aygo the spanner / wrench icon is the maintenance reminder — it indicates the service interval has been reached. The icon does not indicate an engine fault and isn’t related to the engine-check warning.

Do I need a diagnostic tool?

No. Every Mk2 Aygo uses the owner-accessible MID menu method. Toyota TechStream and aftermarket tools can also reset the maintenance counter, but for normal owner use the MID is the standard route.

Does the reset clear engine fault codes?

No. The reset zeros the service-distance counter only. Engine fault codes need a scan tool. For DTC interpretation see autodtcs.com.

Is the procedure the same as the Aygo Mk1 (B10)?

No. The Aygo Mk1 (2005–2014) used a button-and-hold trip-recorder method, the older Toyota standard. The Mk2 (B40) switched to the menu-driven MID path inherited from the Yaris XP130 facelift. The Aygo X (B70, 2022-onwards) uses the newer Toyota infotainment menu — a different screen but conceptually the same MID approach.

How often does the Aygo Mk2 service indicator come up?

Toyota’s UK-market schedule for the B40 Aygo is 10,000 miles (15,000 km) or 12 months, whichever comes first, on the 1.0 1KR-FE and 1.2 1PP. Severe-use driving (predominantly short trips around town, which describes most Aygos) halves the interval to 5,000 miles / 6 months.
