Maintenance required light

Take the vehicle to a nationally recognized parts store and have them scan the computer for trouble codes. Most will do it for free.

Let me know what you find.

Could be the oil,tire pressure, timing belt and oxygen sensor reminder to check and serviced

The maintenance required light continues to stay on the dash after I have changed the oil and followed the instructions in the car manual to reset the light. The instructions are to hold down the mileage trip button with the ignition in the lock or acc position for more than 5 seconds then the light should go off. I have attempeted this several times with no success. I even pulled the fuse to see if it would reset but no luck.

Any suggestions?

1. To reset MAINT reminder light after engine oil replacement, turn ignition switch to OFF position with odometer reading showing. Turn ignition switch to ON position while holding down trip meter RESET button.
2. Hold trip meter RESET button down for at least 5 seconds. Odometer should indicate "000000" and MAINT reminder light goes out.

The maintenance required light came on so I got the oil changed today. But now I don't know how to get the indicator for Maintenance required off or reset or whatever I need to do. Can you please tell me what I need to do to get it either reset or turned off please? Thank you!!!

Try this sequence.

Turn ignition key to 'ON' and press the odometer button until the display reads ODO... not Trip A or B.
Turn ignition key to OFF.
Hold in the same button you used in step 1.
While holding the button in, turn ignition key to 'ON'.

ODOMETER will change to
5 dashes - - - - -
Then 4 dashes - - - -
Then 3 dashes - - -
Then 2 dashes - -
Then 1 dash -
THEN all zeros 0 0 0 0 0
Then back to the correct mileage
The Maintenance Required light should blink and go out.

It worked, thank you so much for your help!! Have a good evening

That's good, was not sure if that was correct for your model. Thank you for using 2Carpros.

what is this light means? when start the engine light comes up and engine running 5 to 10 second, the warning light is disappear. this happen very times.

how do i check it out? it runs really good but i open the rediator cap when water still warm and i close it really quick back on. after this action, then the Maintenance Service Light come up. what did I do to it? how do i reset the computer?

Check your owners manual. It will give instructions on resetting the light.

NEVER open the radiator cap, unless the engine is cold.

If the check engine light is coming on have auto zone print you out the code its free.

I have a 2005 toyota corolla.I have 16000 miles while driving this light came on also oil change had been done.I have no owners manual. what kind of maintainence is required?

At 16K probably an oil change and check all fluid levels, inspect for leaks etc. You really need an owners manual. Try ebay, you can get owners manuals there sometimes. I have seen manuals for 2005 Toyota's, just can't remember the model.

how do i shut off the maintenance required light on the instrument cluster?

Turn key to off postion then press and hold the reset button under the speedometer, turn key to on, hold the button for 5 seconds, and the odomter trip meter should show 0000 and the light should go out.

How do I reset the maintenance required light after changing the oil

Reset procedures depend on if vehicle is equipped with "smart key" system or not.

Reset procedure is in owners manual.

If you do not have owners manual, repost to this thread and let me know if equipped with smart key or not.

please what do i do? because i changed the oil and performed the necessary maintenance routine. please what could be causing this and what can i do to resolve this problem?

If it is a light to remind you to change the oil, just reset it. If the check engine light is on, have the computer scanned to identify trouble codes.

thank you so much pls how do i reset?

They are all different. If it is the oil change light, refer to your owner's manual for specific directions for your vehicle.

please i don't have the manual. the car is a 2007 toyota corolla

I will see what I can find.

I bought a 2006 Corolla in March of this year. It has been running great, but when it was time for my second oil change, the maintenance required light started flashing when I started the car and then when turn off. So I got my oil changed a month ago and the light hasn't stopped. And recently it has come on and stayed on when I start the car. Is there a certain trick to turning it off, or is my sensor stuck? Please help.

On most new cars, these maintenance lights are designed to come on after a certain amount of miles are driven, pre-determined by the manufacturers. Some are designed to flash occassionaly until you reach the the breaking point, then it stays on. To re-set the lite, press the reset button on the dash FIRST, then turn the ignition key to the ON position and wait 10 second or until the lite goes out. The reset button is near the speedometer gauge.

thank you so much

my engine service light turned on and i was wondering how can i retrieve the codes without having to buy a scanner? i remember when i took a mechanic class i retrieved the codes by jumping two of the outputs with a paper clip in the diagnostics box under the hood. i just cant remember which two outputs do i connect?

Take it to Autozone and have it scanned for OBD2 code/s its free service then comeback with it, this is where we start.
