2004 V6 Camry SE Mntc Reqd?

[johnriley]

Can anyone help me out, my camry is flashing a mntc reqd light alaready at 4,640 miles. So far I've got the oil changed and that's it and that was last week at 3,600 miles. My wife and I took a weekend trip from Kc to South Dakota last weekend. Any help is appreciated-Thanks

BTW- The light flashes a few times at startup and once I put it into drive it goes away.

Look in the owner's manual. It should tell you how to reset it.

you'll have to reset it. That shouldn't be happening though...

hey, i've had this happen to me before. it just means u need to change your oil soon, or if u have, just do this. put the key in the ignition (dont turn it yet), press the odometer /trip reset button down and hold it (right by odometer), then turn the key to on(but dont start it) then give it a min and all the lights will turn on and then one by one go off and your odometer will show 0 then your mileage. after that u will be good to go and u only have to do that after you change your oil.

Thanks for the response I'll try it tonight- Has anybody ever noticed an awful smell coming from the engine like sulfur it usually happens whenever I accelerate quickly. Somebody told me it might be my cat converter not working properly.
