First, start the vehicle, then press the mute button on the multifunction steering wheel to select the audio source, set the display information on the vehicle dashboard, and then press the DISP button on the right side of the multifunction steering wheel to eliminate the vehicle's maintenance light. After that, restart the vehicle. Below are related introductions: 1. Meaning of the maintenance light: When the maintenance light of the vehicle comes on, it indicates that the vehicle has reached the required maintenance cycle. 2. Method to clear the maintenance light: Drive the vehicle to a local dealership or repair shop for maintenance. After maintenance, the technician will clear the maintenance indicator light. If the vehicle owner does not wish to perform maintenance in the near future, they can note the mileage and wait until the mileage limit is reached to perform maintenance on the vehicle.
As a veteran mechanic who has serviced hundreds of Corollas, the maintenance light reset procedure for the 2019 model differs from older versions. First, ensure the vehicle is completely powered off by turning the key to the OFF position without starting the engine. Then, press and hold the TRIP button on the instrument panel while turning the key to the ON position. This will trigger a black screen warning message on the dashboard. Next, rapidly press the brake pedal three times with even intervals. The maintenance light will then begin flashing - press the ODO button once to complete the reset. The entire process should be completed within 10 seconds for best results, as being too fast or too slow may cause failure. After resetting, start the engine to confirm the light has turned off. If the display shows "MAINT REQ", you'll need to repeat the procedure.
