[net.auto] TOYOTA SENSOR light

greenbl@eosp1.UUCP (Bob Greenblatt) (08/28/84)

I took my car to a dealer for 30,000 mi service at about 29,500 mi.
Now that it has turned 30,000, the SENSOR light indicating that the
oxygen sensor in the emissions control needs attention.  The dealer
has assured me that the unit has been properly serviced; but it is
inconvienent to return to have him turn the light off.

Does anyone know how to reset the SENSOR light so that it goes off and
comes back on again as it should at 60,000 mi?  Its a 1981 COROLLA
hatch back.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Usually these lights are controled by a switch placed in the speedometer
drive cable. There should be a push button similar to a reset button on a 
TV circut breaker. To find this little unit, trace the speedo cable into
the guts of the dash. Good luck.
