Since its first appearance in 1966, this car has achieved record sales of more than 30 million units worldwide. So are you looking for a way to reset the maintenance warning light on the Toyota Corolla? If the engine oil needs to replace you will see the MAINT REQD message on your cluster screen. The oil
change is pretty much as essential as it can get as far as maintenance for your vehicle. The engine oil maintenance data must be reset after performing the engine oil change on your car. Time needed: 3 minutes. This section will show you how to reset the Maint Reqd or maintenance required light on the old Toyota Corolla. I’m working
on 2008, so this will be the same from 2003 come all the way up to 2008. So if your Corolla looks like this, it’s going to be the same procedure. So let’s do it. Get in the car and start your vehicle Make sure to set your odometer not to the Trip A or Trip odometer but to the regular ODO that reads the miles that are on the vehicle by
using the ODO/TRIP button Then you need to switch the key off with the ODO reads on the odometer Now I’m gonna hold the ODO/TRIP button down as I turn turn the key back on without starting the engine After that, you’ll see the odometer has some dashes on it and then it flashes to zero, and then the Maint Reqd light will be off Once that goes off then you let the button go and you’re done So that’s the way to do it on a 2006 Toyota Corolla. For your info, this operation work for the ninth generation of the Toyota Corolla (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 model years).

TipsHow To Reset Maintenance Required Light In 2003-2007 Toyota Corolla After Oil ChangeThis article shows you the steps for resetting the maintenance required light on the dashboard of Toyota Corolla. The procedure is same for Ninth generation Toyota Corolla (2003 – 2007). The Toyota Corolla’s ‘maint reqd’ light simply means a service interval has been met. And this means engine oil is due for change. It comes on 5,000 miles after the last time it was reset. This light comes on strictly as a function of those miles; it has no way of knowing whether your oil has or hasn’t been changed in the interim, and it never, ever is an indication of something being wrong. So your heart doesn’t skip a bit whenever it pops up on your dashboard.
Below are the steps you should follow to reset the maintenance required light in your 2003 – 2007 Toyota Corolla.
