The Maintenance Required light on a Toyota Camry is not a malfunction warning, but a helpful reminder that is typically triggered every 5,000 miles to perform routine services, such as oil changes. Ignoring it won’t harm the car, but it will remain on even after maintenance is completed. Fortunately, resetting this light is easy—and you can do it manually or use a professional-grade tool like the VDIAGTOOL VD80 BT.

Manual Reset Procedure (Toyota Camry)

The exact steps may vary slightly depending on the model year, but the general method applies to most Toyota Camry models from 2007 to 2023.

Steps to Manually Reset the Maintenance Light:

1. Turn the ignition to “ON” without starting the engine.
2. Set the odometer to display "TRIP A" by pressing the trip/reset button.
3. Turn the ignition OFF.
4. While pressing and holding the trip/reset button, turn the ignition back ON.
5. Continue holding the button. You’ll see the odometer flash and display “000000”, then the maintenance light will turn off.
6. Release the button. The reset is complete.

This method only works for clearing the oil maintenance reminder. It does not reset other service warnings or stored trouble codes.
