I own a 2005 Toyota Corolla vehicle, and I have been impressed with the vehicle performance and fuel economy. But I recently noticed a yellow light on my dashboard saying (Maint req). My question now is what does it mean? Please I am a bit ignorant about autos. 4 Likes 2 Shares

Maintenance required, it's telling you that your car has reached a the millage required for servicing. If you have serviced it recently and the light is showing, then you have to reset it. 188 Likes 7 Shares |

It means if you don't have the required funds to service your car, you should at least be wary of eternity as you car is most likely to fall break in the course of driving and you would possibly find yourself in the great beyond, either on the right side or the wrong side. This I have seen. 46 Likes 3 Shares |

The message is clear. Maintenance Required. It's the same as check engine light but with a twist cuz this only comes up when your car is due for its regular servicing. They use this in older cars and some SUVs. In recent cars, there is a message screen that tells you the exact service that is due. Like oil life, ABS, SRS etc 50 Likes 2 Shares |

Your car needs oil change. Just buy your car's recommended engine oil and oil filter. Look for a good filling station or mechanic and tell them that you would like to do oil change or servicing. They will do the needful and also clear the light. Good luck! 11 Likes 1 Share |

It simply means that some aspects of your vehicle need maintenance not necessarily the engine. So you have to take the vehicle to vehicle electrician commonly called rewire to read the particular parts needing your attention and reset the alert light. That's all 6 Likes |

Hmmm, In all my years of seeing that signal, I just now deciphered the meaning by myself as I saw the pic you posted. I don't think I ever put that much thought to it in the past. 1 Like |

Your car should be needing service soon, haven't this before but I believe it should be mileage related |

MARKone: Don't reset. Get a OBD2 scanner and check what is causing the Maintenance Required from staying on after service. Fix that and it will go off 6 Likes |

What does maint reqd mean on a Toyota Corolla? The Toyota maintenance light can appear on your dashboard as “MAINT REQD”. It's a light that remains active permanently, which means that it has been 5,000 miles since the last reset and also indicates that your Toyota is due for scheduled maintenance, such as an oil change. letting you know that you need to go for an oil change in a certified auto shop. Changing the oil in your Toyota can improve fuel efficiency and make your vehicle run as smooth as silk. 3 Likes 1 Share |
