Maint Reqd light

Hi everybody!
My Toyota Camry 2004 (17K miles) has annoying "Maint Reqd" light on.
I just changed the oil.
What could it be?
How to turn it off?
Thanks.

Try this:

1. turn the ignition switch to on
2. set the odometer trip display to the odo mode
3. turn the ignition switch to the off position
4. Depress and hold the trip meter reset button while turning the
ignition switch to the on position.
5. The service maintenance reminder light will:
a. illuminate solidly for 3 seconds
b. blink for 2 seconds
c. illuminate solidly for 1 second
d. turn off
6. release the trip meter reset button
7. turn the ignition to the off position
8. turn the ignition to the on position and confirm that the service
maintenance reminder light goes out.

Gene,
Did you try it?
Did it work?
If the Service light is NOT on, does this mean that it is NOT time to change
the oil?
If the service light is not on, and the oil is changed, should the Service
light be reset and the oil NOT changed again until the light comes on?
Does my '02 Tacoma PreRunner with 2.7L motor have this Service light?

Jeff,
I did try it and it worked... so far.
I changed the oil 3 weeks ago, so it is definitely not the time to change it
again (;--))))
I know nothing about Tacoma, but I assume that it is Toyota's new feature
at all new cars.
