Coolbeans,
Here is the correct instruction how to reset your MAINT REQD Light.
a) With the Engine ON click your Odometer/TripA/TripB selector knob so
the display shows TRIP A
b) Turn the car off
c) Turn the key 1 click to ACC (accessory mode)
d) While in ACC, press and hold the selector knob in (don't worry that
can't see anything on the dashboard.)
e) While you are still holding the selector knob, click the key 1 more
position to the ON position.
f) If you do it correctly, you will see the TripA display change to some
numbers and then start blinking quickly. you will also see the MAINT
REQD blinking quickly. After about 5 seconds of holding the knob in
the display should show 0000000000000 then go away.
Start the car up, and no more MAINT REQD light until you put another 4500miles on the car!

even if u were too lazy to read the OM, all these questions have been answered on this forum a gazillion times

it would've been easier to use the search function and then you wouldn't have people flaming you

Is this thread for serious?

Note to self: If you ever ask for opinions on anything, do not take some the people in this thread seriously.

In a month or so, there will be another non-manual reading/non-searching noob asking the same question.

That person will probably also not be able to type or spell and accuse others of "bashing" him...

You're welcome.
I do travel for work from time to time. Keep the beer cold and the wings hot for me.

Need to really edit out that first suggestion on page one of this thread. You DO NOT have the display in the odometer reading. It has to be Trip A. Alot of the threads regarding this issue list having the odometer reading up and that is incorrect. Trip A is what it needs to be. This is coming from an owner of a 2010 Camry SE.
