Default air filter warning light

I have taken my 05 ls 430 to the toyota dealer 3 times to remove the air filter warning light when the car starts. I have tried using the touch screen to eliminate it ans so have they, do you have any ideas?

Probably same warning I get. It says to change the cabin air filter. I have not changed mine yet so not sure if that is how easy it is to fix. I thought I read the filter is in the glove box and is easy to change.

I think the warning light is just a simple mileage based reminder. I don't think it has any sensors in or around the air filter or HVAC system.

You cannot turn it off with the maintenance reminders. Read the owners manual - you have to push and hold the A/C "Off" button for 4 seconds. That will make the warning go away.
