How to turn off maintenance light on toyota camry 2009

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.

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.
