When the maintenance / service reminder appears on your Lexus NX (2022–present), you can clear it yourself after a service from the dashboard menu — no dealer and no diagnostic tool. It’s the same on the NX 350h hybrid and the NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid. Here’s how.
Before You Start
Reset the reminder only after the service has actually been done. You’ll use the instrument-cluster menu, powered up but not in READY.
Resetting the Service Indicator
- Switch the ignition on — press START once without the brake so the car powers up but doesn’t enter READY.
- Using the steering-wheel controls, scroll the multi-information display to the settings/vehicle menu.
- Select ‘Maintenance’ (under Settings/Vehicle Settings).
- Follow the prompts to reset the maintenance schedule; a confirmation appears on the display.
If the Reminder Won’t Clear
- Be in ignition-on, not READY — don’t press the brake when you press START.
- Confirm the reset prompt fully rather than just viewing the menu.
- A separate warning light? A fault stores a code — look it up on autodtcs.com.
