2011 Camry Maint Required Light/Message

[johnusnsd]

I have a 2011 XLE Camry.

Just reached 5K miles and the MAINT EXCLAMATION POINT LIGHT is lit and the message "MAINT REQUIRED" is displayed all the time now on the message display on the speedometer.

How do I reset the light/message??

I have tried the "hold the trip reset button for 5 sec as I turn the ignition to on......" method described in other threads.....and that does not work on my 2011 XLE.

Thanks, John McGriff

^ look in the manual. it tells you how to do it, your probably not doing it right.

Yeah, thanks for that wealth of information.

It's not in the manual on how to reset it (states that it is done at the dealer).....but, did not know if someone knew a work-around that.

Its time to bring your car into the dealership so they can rotate your tires and check your fluids. From there they will reset you light for you

Thank you.....I know (I have that scheduled for early next week)....but, in the meantime it's very bothersome to have that message and light barking at me......I was just inquiring within the forum if anyone had the secret-hook-up-work-around.

Try this:
1. Turn the key to "on" so that electrical system is fired up (but engine is not running)
2. Set trip planner to "A" trip.
3. Turn key off (no electrical)
4. Hold down trip planner button, then turn key to "on" so that electrical system is fired up (but engine is not running).
5. "Maint Req" light will blink several times and then go off.

I assume it's the same to 11 Camry.

PERFECT!!! Thank you. That was exactly what I was looking for, and it worked perfectly!
