start the car..make sure the odometer is showing..turn off the car press and hold down the odometer reset button...turn ignition switch to on with out starting the car....dashes of lines on the odometer will start counting down the the maint light show go off...

if that doesn't work start the car again..set the odometer to trip A ...turn of car press and hold down odometer reset button ..turn key on engine off...and dashes on odometer screen will count down till maint light goes off...

I have a 2005 camry le 4 cyl . Perhaps its the same method. Resetting the Maintenace Required Light
Step 1
Push in the odometer trip button.Hold for about 20 -30 seonds. With key in off position.
Step 2
While holding in the trip odometer button in fully turn key to on position where all the lights light up ect. Do not Start!
Step 3
Hold for another 10-20 seconds and it should reset itself. There will be a series of dash break lines like this - - -- - - or similar atleast. Then it should be done and im not positive but i think the maintenace rquired light will flash or turn off or remain on. Turn key off and start car it should go away.

note: Keep holding the trip odo button in the whole time your doing these steps and dont let go.
Keep in mind this is the procedure on a 2005 camry le 4cyl. It could be different sense its a different year perhaps engine too. Just thought id throw it out there to help good luck

Whats this light for anyways? I dont have a owners manual Guessing its for oil changes? or regular schedule maintenace?
