service maintenance light

Most likely it was not reset correctly last time it was done
it should be OK to drive with maintenance light on or blinks
the light serve as a reminder only and have no other effect on the vehicle

I have a 2005 Camry SE that has 9500 miles on it. The maintenenace required light has come on and was not cleared when I took it in for service. How do I clear that light.

Your owners manuel should have the steps you need to follow to clear this light. It is not cleared automatically when maint. is performed. These steps are required. The light will come on again after a pre-set number of miles and this procedure will have to be repeated each time.

the maintenance req'd light is on and it isnt the gas cap being on wrong. I also just had the oil changed.

should I go to a mechanic or is it just some quirk with that light. had the oil level checked and it the right level and color.

Hi there,

You will need to visit your mechanic as there is an unresolved fault code in the ECU, there will be able to do a scan to read this code and this will give you information on the faulty component.

My Maintenance Required light is on, what could be the problem, had it on before but it flashed then went off, my oil change was due. This light is continiously on, what could be some possible problems.

This is simply an engine oil replacement reminder. Perform the following steps to reset the maintenance reminder..

how do you reset the "maintenance required" light after the oil change has been completed?

I am changing the oil for the first time since I bought the car, I'm not the original owner. I need to know how to reset the engine maintenance light on the dash. I looked in the guide and did not find any description there.

Turn the key on and set the trip meter to odometer. Turn the key off. Depress and hold the trip meter button and turn the on while still depressing the trip reset button. The odometer screen will display 5 dashes, then 4 then 3,2,1, then all zeroes. Done. If it doesn't work try the same procedure starting from the "trip A" screen.
