How To Reset Maintenance Warning Light On Toyota Corolla (2003-2008)

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.

1. Turn on your car

   Get in the car and start your vehicle

2. Set your odometer to the ODO

   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
   

3. Next, turn the key off

   Then you need to switch the key off with the ODO reads on the odometer

4. Press and hold the ODO/TRIP button and turn the ignition key to the ON position

   Now I’m gonna hold the ODO/TRIP button down as I turn turn the key back on without starting the engine

5. Keep holding the button

   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

6. Release the button and start the engine

   Once that goes off then you let the button go and you’re done
