Hi, Maintenance required light in my Corolla 2007 started blinking 1 week back. Now the light goes on. I have done the oil change 15 days back even before the maintenance required light started coming up. Can you let me know why this light comes up? Is it triggered for every 5000 miles?? Or my car has any other problems?? Please help me. Thanks Praveen Bhattar

I just did this procedure 5 mins ago on my 2007 RAV....some procedures state to do it from the ODO position but that will not work....use the procedure below.

Set odometer to Trip A
Turn the key off
press and hold the ODO button.
Turn key to ON
Continue holding button while the light goes through the series of the ----countdown and then flashes 0000. Release the button and turn key to OFF.

Thats it!

That is a friendly "get the oil changed light" and a reminder that a 25K service is due. To get rid of the light, push down the "A" trip reset button, turn the car off (while holding the button down), and turn the ignition on but don't start the car - while still holding down the A reset button. You'll see a count up meter on the display that will tell you when the system is reset. Enjoy.

I don't know for sure, but I'd imagine oil, oil filter, and air filter changes, tire rotation, brake and strut inspection, and maybe a cabin air filter change. Look in your owner's manual near the back - each service should be spelled out in there so you don't go in unprepared.

OK ON YOUR SPEEDOMETER, THERES TRIP A, TRIP B, AND THE REGULAR ODMO... U NEED TO PUT IT ON TRIP A (WITH THE KEY OFF) ONCE U GET IN ON TRIP A, PUSH AND HOLD THE BUTTON DOWN,WHILE HOLDING BUTTON DOWN TURN KEY ON, YOU WILL SEE LINES POP UP ON THE ODOMETER, (WHERE THE MILES ARE DISPLAYED) THEY WILL GO OUT ONE BY ONE, ONCE IT STATES 0 YOU ARE GOOD TO GO.. GOOD LUCK AND THANK YOU FOR USE FIXYA.COM..KEITH..

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.
