This article shows you the steps for resetting the maintenance required light on the dashboard of Toyota Camry. The procedure is same for fifth generation Toyota Camry (2007 – 2011). The Toyota Camry’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.
