Our newest vehicle is the 2020 Express van but that one is really old school and doesn't seem to have much complexities.I did watch Royalty Auto Service (I think that's the YT channel?) and they guy was talking about most newer vehicles have different things to do to put it into "Service Mode" so you can replace the brake pads. I think he said it has to do with electric parking brakes. Then you have redo the procedure to exit the service mode. And each manufacturer does things differently.Maybe maintenance mode is Toyota's name for service mode? I used to watch that guy, until he regurgitated the old wives' tale about not changing old ATF because that can cause slipping due to the "grit"...SMH But he's legit and to be honest, I don't think most mechanics/technicians are rebuilding transmissions or such. Eric at SMA a looong time ago showed how to rebuild a GM transfer case, that's about it. Most everyone does R&R I would gather?Anyways, sorry for rambling and curious how that maintenance mode is performed...You got this!</blockquote>
