How to Reset the Maintenance Required Soon Light on a Toyota Camry

Many model years of the Toyota Camry come equipped with a computer monitoring system that keeps track of when regular maintenance, such as changing the oil, is required. When the system determines it is nearing time for maintenance, a warning message appears on the control panel. If the Camry is serviced by Toyota dealers, they will reset the maintenance required light as part of the process. If you do your own maintenance on the Camry, you can manually reset the light.

  • Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

  • Press the trip odometer reset knob and hold it down.

  • Turn the ignition switch off and back on.

  • Release the trip odometer reset knob after the odometer reading changes to "000000" and the maintenance light disappears.

  • Turn the ignition switch off.
