Maintenance required Hi: I have 2007 toyota camry and "maintenance required" light is turned on. I looked into the manual and it says that it is time to change oil ( even though i had changed it only 1000 miles before). i went ahead and changed the oil again. still that light is not turned off. what should i do? ven

It could just be in need of it's oil change. I would consider taking it to your local autozone and they can use a scan tool to isolate the problem free of charge and only takes a couple of minutes. If it is something more serious please come back and update me.
thank you,

Hello. Welcome to FIxYa. Please allow us to assist you

The maintenance required light is there to remind you that your oil change is due. This light needs to be reset after the oil ic changed, it is manually reset. If you just had your oil changed, the light will not go off by itself. The light is designed to illuminate after 5,000 miles since the last reset procedure.

The maintenance required light lets you know its time for an oil change. Once the oil is changed the light can be reset. The light will usually blink for a few seconds as you approach the 5,000 mile mark and then stay on steady as the 5,000 mile mark is reached or surpassed.

Most maintenance lights are set to come on automatically every 5,000 miles telling you to get your oil changed. If you do your own service, or have someone other then the Toyota dealer service your vehicle, look for that light description in the owners manual where it explains the dash lights and go to the page explaining it and it should give you the procedure to reset that light when it comes on.

Good Luck

You can take it back and have them reset the light that they for got to do. Or check your manual and do it your self. I think you push the trip setter and hold it until the dashes disappear. Or go to trip a and then push and hold.

have the oil changed and then ...

with the ignition key on engine off, set trip meter to TRIP A , turn key off , now press and hold the trip button and turn the ignition key to the on position -engine off , hold until odometer reads 000000 , and light is reset .
its just an oil change due reminder .

first off MILEAGE HI OR LOW drive it how does it ride, handle, how do the brakes feel. Any, rattleing, squeaks, popping while turning hard left or right (cv joints going bad) how does it feel going over bumps ?? do all the acessories work radio a/c ect.
2nd maintenance history oil changes tune -up ect
most important !!! timing belt has it ever been changed and at what mileage was it replaced
look atall 4 tires how are thew worn. evenly suspension is probibally ok. worn on the edges may be a suspension issue
fairly low cost to fix with a repair manual u may be able to do
body condition how much rust

It's basically a type of oil change life/ idiot lamp that will come on briefly after 4K just after startup and then stay on steady after 5K reached after reset procedure done after each oil change.
The explanation of it's purpose and the reset procedure should be covered in your owner's manual.
I remember resetting some Toyota maint req lamp by holding in the trip reset button ,turning on the ignition key ,the mileage indicator appears as a row of flashing segments that gradually disappear and your done.
If that doesn't work ,try releasing the trip switch momentarily,just after turning the key to run position and then redepress and hold the trip reset button in (before the cluster completes it's lamp prove out)
