How can I reset please?

Just go online, Google how to reset maintenance required indicator, reference the type of car you use, it varies from car to car.

Don't mislead others please. After the oil change, you have to manually reset it in many cars, even on some so called modern cars. Your car has been programmed to trigger the light based on the interval set between the last time the light came on and the estimated miles driven. For instance, if your car was programmed by the manufacturer to alert you for scheduled maintenance at 4000 miles, then the light will come 4000 miles after you last reset it. In other cases, the light may also come on if for example you are supposed to change your transmission oil at exactly 50,000 miles. However, some vehicles are more intelligent to the extent of telling you the specific maintenance you are supposed to carry out.

That said, we don't read or follow manuals in this country. Maintenance is not only oil change, there are other scheduled maintenance that should be carried out at specific mileage or sometimes specific months or years a vehicle has been driven. These include transmission oil change, radiator coolant flush, transfer case fluid change etc. These are all documented in your car manual up to the oil grade you should use. Sadly people wait till their oil becomes tin or black before they change them. Worse still, they react when something has already gone bad.

You need to take a chill pill.

He said maintenance required light stayed on after service.
Someone asked him to reset the light to clear it.
I said don't be quick to reset, scan to see if there is another fault.
Now you go ahead to write an epistle on all the other things one will find in a manual, as an OBD2 scan will also tell.
5+4=9 so is 6+3.

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

To remove it, use this following steps
*Change Ur car oil and filter
*Turn on engine light, do not start it yet
*Press and hold the nob that says trip A, until it shows 000
* Do same for trip B
* Then press and hold the ODO.
* Turn off the ignition while hold the nob and turn it on again, all will go back to 0's. Start engine and it gone. The purpose for that maintenance record, is when Ur engine has gone up to 5 thousand kilometres. Regards

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.
Maintenance required.
