What indicator lamp? There are several. ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT, SEAT BELT LIGHT, MAINTENANCE LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OIL LIGHT, ETC.
most of these will store codes when they turn on. All of those except the check engine light will require a high end scan tool to retrieve the codes. The check engine light codes can be retrieved by an OBDII code reader. You can purchase them for under $100 or you can swing buy your local parts store. Often they will pull codes for free.
Once you know the codes you'll have a better idea of what needs to be done.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU DID A OIL CHANGE AND WANT THE LIGHT TO GO OFF.
PRESS DOWN ON THE ODOMETER KNOB ON THE SPEEDOMETER AND HOLD IT, TURN THE KEY TO POSITION 2 FOR 10 SEC, YOU WELL HEAR A BEEP, SHUT OF THE KEY LET GO THE NUTTON, START THE ENGINE LIGHT WELL STAY OFF.
Hi, it is possible it may require other schedualed services and you are being reminded. However to reset for the oil change you need to have the key off. press and hold down the milage trip reset button and turn the key on. After five seconds the odometer reads "0000000" and the light goes off. If this does not reset then let me know. There is a longer procedure for reseting the other maint services required.
its to let you know that its almost time to change your oil. it will stay on when the car has reached 5000 miles since your last oil change or since the light was last reset.
Our 2006 Corolla has a "Maintenance Required" light in addition to the "Check Engine" one. MR light comes on every 5000 miles telling you to change oil and whatever's in the book. To turn it off,
Set Cluster Display to ODOMETER (not Trip A or Trip B)
Ignition Off
Hold Cluster Display button down
Ignition On, Continue to Hold button down
Odometer will change to "----------" then return to Miles Display
Light goes Out
what is the miles on the car?
