There are many devices on the car dashboard that notify you when there is a problem or malfunction. MAINT REQD (MR) – a signal indicating the need for scheduled maintenance. MR does not signal a breakdown or a problem. The light bulb is an informational reminder and nothing more. However, sometimes it is very annoying and annoying. Also, sometimes MAINT REQD (MR) works due to an error by the specialists who carried out the previous maintenance. Why does it light up? How to remove it? More on this later in this article.

Maint Reqd light reset 2007 Toyota Highlander Maintenance required light
The administration is not responsible for the content. Why then doesn’t something like change oil light up? And then when the maint reqd caught fire, I started looking for a translation to understand what kind of nonsense it was. But it’s not there, and how can you understand what’s what if you don’t have the Internet at hand?
Today the maint reqd light on my Lexus GX also started blinking, thanks for the instructions on how to reset it. I recently changed the oil, I drove less than 2 thousand.
I read the documentation of American GXs on the Internet and it turns out that it lights up every mile km. It turns out that you need to change it every 7 thousand or something?
And I was complaining about the 10 thousandth range of Toyota. I’ll have to match the lamp next time and use it to guide the replacement.
Why is this indication shown?
Automakers use this approach because most drivers forget when scheduled maintenance is due. As a result, when driving, you use old motor oil and dirty filters. Such delays lead to an extremely undesirable consequence, namely a rapid decrease in the service life of the vehicle. As a result, serious damage occurs that requires expensive repairs. Therefore, it is extremely important to carry out maintenance on time, especially if your car is many years old.
Typically, the MAINT REQD (MR) light will start flashing after approximately 7,500 miles. After 750 miles it burns. It is worth noting that the signal does not in any way affect the further operation of the car: it does not block the ignition system, does not stop the engine, and does not affect the performance of the fuel system.
Even if MAINT REQD (MR) is already on, the vehicle can still be used. The signal itself is connected to the “odometer” and after a certain period of time notifies about maintenance. You can reset the light and continue using the car, and undergo technical inspection later.

Camry 40, Part I
This morning the message Maint reqd appeared on the dashboard. Can you tell me what this is?
This is just a reminder that YOU should change the oil in the internal combustion engine of my 35, this is how we reset when the light comes on. The Maint Reqd light is flashing. In cars of many manufacturers, starting from different years of production, an indicator of the same name is located in the instrument panel.
When the vehicle's mileage* (after oil change) is approximately 7,200 km (4,500 miles), this indicator lights up for 3 seconds and blinks for approximately 12 seconds after turning on the ignition. If you continue to refuse to change the oil (for mileage over 8,000 km - 5,000 miles), The indicator does not go out when the ignition is on.
If the MAINT REQD** lamp “blinks” for 12 seconds, it is already recommended to change the engine oil and then reset (zero) the corresponding counter. From one source, the MAINT REQD inscription indicates that it is time to change the oil.
After changing the oil, you need to: - turn the key in the ignition switch to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position - by pressing and holding the mileage reset button, turn the key to the “ON” position - hold the button for at least 5 s until the display shows and The “000000” indication will go out, here from another source. In order to get rid of the MAINT REQD indication on the dashboard, do the following: 1.
Turn the ignition key to the OFF2 position. While holding the trip meter reset button, turn on the ignition (key - ON)3. Continue holding the odometer button until 000000 appears on the display.

The MAIN RECORD/MAINT REQD light came on
If such a signal lights up on the dashboard of your Mitsubishi or Toyota car, there is no need to be alarmed. This simply means that the time has come for scheduled maintenance and absolutely does not indicate the presence of any malfunction, i.e. it is simply an informational reminder.
Why does the MAIN RECORD signal come on?
Why is such a signal installed in cars and why does it light up? This approach of automakers is due to the fact that car owners often forget about the timing of maintenance, and the car is operated on old motor oil, dirty filters, and any hidden damage in it remains undetected. As a result, a person who postpones visiting the service “for later” is faced with major breakdowns of the car and is forced to make expensive repairs.
Typically, at 4,500 miles, the MAIN RECORD indicator will begin to flash, and after another 750 miles, it will illuminate. This signal does not affect the operation of the engine and is not related to the fuel system condition indicator, but is simply “started” on the odometer, so you can continue to drive the car without problems. You can simply reset this reminder and perform maintenance later.
Sometimes this procedure has to be carried out if the service has incorrectly set the date for the next maintenance.
How to reset the MAIN REQD indicator yourself
To reset a reminder, you need to:
- insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the “ON” position;
- turn the key to the “ACC” position;
- press and hold the TRIP/ODO button for a while;
- Without releasing the TRIP/ODO button, turn the ignition key to the “ON” position, and six dashes will appear on the display;
- hold down the TRIP/ODO button until zeros appear on the display instead of the “——” sign: “000000”.
After zeroing, you need to release the TRIP/ODO button and turn off the ignition.
What to do next
Resetting the service interval indicator does not cancel the maintenance, but only turns off the warning light sensor. In addition, a clean reset without undergoing maintenance will void the manufacturer's warranty. We recommend that you pay attention to the signal and undergo the next maintenance. This can be done quickly and inexpensively in our specialized car service center at any time.

How to reset the service interval on a Toyota Land Cruiser 200
A responsible car owner monitors the operation of the engine and undergoes technical inspection on time. And the prudent manufacturer reminds us of this. On the dashboard of Japanese SUVs, special icons warn about the maintenance time, after which drivers reset the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 service interval.
Resetting service intervals on Toyota
Technical inspection extends the life of the car. Routine inspection of components and mechanisms protects you from troubles on the road. It is recommended to diagnose high-tech Japanese-made cars every 10,000 thousand km or once a year, whichever comes first.
In Russia, it is customary to carry out maintenance periodically, and repairs as needed.
Car servicing under warranty is carried out without removing components. Carry out washing, diagnostic and adjustment work. They fasten and lubricate the mechanisms, check the electrics. When a unit is suspected of breaking down, it is removed and checked on stands. If necessary, they are repaired so that after maintenance there is a guarantee of trouble-free operation of the engine.
The service is indicated by a pictogram on the dashboard - the required kilometers have been covered, it’s time to go to the service station.
When service work is completed, service intervals are reset to zero:
- start the engine;
- press the reset button until “TRIP A” appears;
- turn off the engine by pressing the start/stop button once;
- press and hold the button;
- press start/stop twice – turn on the ignition;
- hold down the reset button for 5 seconds;
- the display shows a countdown;
- release the button;
- turn off the engine with one press of start/stop.
Reset completed. During the procedure, the clutch and brake pedals are not touched.
How to reset the oil change reminder on a Toyota Land Cruiser 200 diesel
When the TLC is brought in for maintenance, the oil and consumables are checked: fuel, oil and air filters.
Drivers constantly worry about changing the oil. The manufacturer gives recommendations on timing, but they are relative (10,000 thousand km). Frequency is met, but an experienced car owner also takes into account other criteria:
- how many hours the engine has worked;
- What is the average speed of the car?
- operating conditions (urban, highway, off-road).
On rural dusty roads, oil and filters are changed more often than in the city on asphalt. After replacing the Toyota diesel lubricant, a reminder is reset:
- start the engine;
- press the DISP button on the steering wheel, the screen will switch to the odometer;
- turn the ENGINE start/stop switch to the OFF position;
- press route counter reset and hold;
- at the same time the start/stop switch is set to ON, the engine is not started;
- The reset button is held until zeros appear on the screen.
The process is over. A sensitive control system will react the moment it’s time to change the oil again.
Resetting the fuel filter replacement indicator
After replacing the fuel filter, the sensors are reset. But while driving, a warning light suddenly lights up on the dashboard. It appears when water is detected in the fuel tank. Urgently go to the service center.
Often the signal is triggered incorrectly. The reason is the quality of diesel fuel. Then you can reset the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 fuel filter indicator error yourself:
- turn off the engine;
- pull out the sensor connector;
- press the stop/start button twice, start the engine;
- wait about a minute, connect the connector.
After 3 seconds, the message is reset from the display: the indicator goes out. One press of start/stop turns off the engine. The pedals are not touched during the procedure.
general information
The Japanese automaker equips the Toyota Camry with two types of engines: 2AZ-FE (4-cylinder in-line 2.4, 2.5 L) and 2GR-FE (6-cylinder V-shaped 3.5 L). The forced version is offered at a higher price, but car enthusiasts quickly discovered its drawback - during a cold start, after 100 thousand km, the engine makes characteristic noises, indicating that the tensioners are coming off. Therefore, the forced model quickly lost demand and in most cases the 2AZ-FE engine is chosen.
Based on the body type, there are two versions of the car on domestic roads: the older V40, released in 2006, and the V50, which appeared on the market in 2011, and was restyled 3 years later. The vast majority of models have front-wheel drive.

Nanoe button in Toyota Camry what is it: consider thoroughly
Undoubtedly, it is much more pleasant and healthy to breathe clean air, but while on the road or in a traffic jam, we are forced to inhale unsafe and harmful exhaust from cars. In order to protect people from such effects, cars are equipped with filter elements. There are two types of such elements: air filter and cabin filter. the function of these devices is to filter incoming air flows into the cabin from dust, bacteria and harmful microbes.
Next, let's figure out what the new development of Japanese engineers is - the Nanoe air purification system.
First, let's find out what Nanoe is. These are microparticles created from water molecules with a long service life, designed to clean the air from harmful bacteria and allergens. The principle of operation is that the ion generator emits charged ions, surrounded by water particles, into the car interior through the air supply ventilation ducts.
Warning:
- Since the ion generator contains high voltage, any interference in its operation is unacceptable.
- Do not insert any objects into the ventilation ducts.
- Do not spray any substances near the ventilation duct.
By following the listed warnings, you will protect your life and also maintain the functionality of the mechanism.
Making considerable demands on air filtration, the Toyota automaker chose Nanoe technology from all the proposed options, considering it the best and best meeting stringent quality requirements. Owners of brand new premium Camry cars will be able to appreciate the benefits of this technology. This innovation provides deep elimination of unpleasant odors and also promotes the supply of clean air.
The main capabilities of this technology are:
- air humidification;
- removal of harmful bacteria;
- removal of unpleasant odors.
Control button location
The Nanoe Toyota Camry 55 model button is located on the control panel of the air conditioning system and is indicated by the corresponding icon.
The panel itself is located on the central part of the torpedo. When the button is turned on, Nanoe microparticles begin to be sprayed throughout the cabin, which effectively clean and humidify the air, and also penetrate the upholstery to eliminate unpleasant odors.
The green light of the button will mean that the system is turned on and filtering has started. The initial launch does not occur automatically, but by manually turning on the button. However, in the on-board computer you can easily configure the automatic function of starting the Nanoe ion spray when you turn on the air conditioning system.
New cars have three-zone climate control with the ability to independently distribute ions and maintain the required temperature. Distribution zones:
- driver's area;
- rear seating area.
front passenger area;
This function is very useful and convenient, for example, in the front you can set a cooler temperature, and in the back (if you have small children) turn it on warmer.
Modes in Camry - what are they?
The 2021 Camry is equipped with 3 engine options, 2.0, 2.5, 3.5 liters. With engines 2.0 and 2.5, a 6-speed automatic transmission is installed. The box is an old model, but with a modified switching algorithm and torque converter settings. For the 2.5 engine, there is an option to install a variator. It simulates the operation of a 6-speed gearbox. The flagship version of the Camry with a 3.5 engine is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The new Camry has different operating modes for the transmission and engine. Let's look at what the owner can use in different modifications.
Cars 2.0, 2.5. 6 speed automatic transmission
Automatic transmission, selector switches the box between PRND S positions. Classic positions that do not require special explanation.
- P – Packing mode.
- R – Reverse movement.
- N – Neutral gear. You can tow a car in this gear.
- D – Moving forward. The choice of gears is unlimited. The gear is selected by the control unit.
- S – Position requiring analysis.
S mode
Some perceive moving the lever to the S position as a sport mode or manual shift. But it is not so. S – This is a sequential gearbox mode. It is designed to limit gear changes. When turned on, the indicator on the panel, the letter S and the gear number, for example S3, light up. In S3 mode, the box operates only in 3 stages.
Toyota engineers replaced previous automatic transmission modifications with the sequential mode. Features such as OverDrive, D1,2,3, winter driving mode. Now all this is done in one motion. Just move the lever to position S. The computer will limit shifting in any convenient gear.
THIS IS INTERESTING: What is climate control Single-zone
What is it for:
- Acceleration dynamics.
- Engine braking.
- Driving on snow or ice
The box does not shift gears up, this allows the car to accelerate throughout the entire rev range. Convenient to use on steep climbs and towing heavy trailers.
The automatic transmission limits gear changes, which allows engine braking. This helps the brakes work on long descents.
Mode S is a kind of box crawler for winter mode. Modern Camry models do not have gearbox shifting specifically for driving in snow. This is partially compensated for by traction control systems. However, on ice it is necessary to limit the transmission to first or second gear.
If the engine speed is too high, the transmission engages the next gear. This is provided by electronic protection of the car from overheating and excessive load.
Engine 2.5 and CVT
The variator imitates a 6-speed gearbox. These cars have a sport mode. This is necessary since the CVT is known for its smooth operation. Sport mode adds dynamics and sharpness to the car.
Engines 2.0 and 2.5 have an ECO indicator. The indicator lights up when driving economically. Usually on the highway, at a speed of 80-90 km per hour. Eco means eco-friendly mode. In a car, this is the same as economical. The computer reduces fuel injection into the combustion chambers, slightly reducing fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.
Engine 3.5 and 8 speed gearbox
The box also has S mode. In addition, the car can operate in three modes. Eco mode, normal, sport. You can switch the car to another mode by pressing a button. They are located at the gear selector.
- Eco mode – forced eco-friendly driving style. When turned on, the engine speed and heater speed drop. The settings are aimed at reducing harm to the environment.
- Normal – standard ride.
- Sport – sports mode. The response to the gas pedal is much more lively, the car accelerates faster and changes gears later. Fuel consumption increases.
When driving, the car feels sluggish and the response to the accelerator is slow. Fuel consumption becomes less. Well suited for a calm, leisurely ride. For example, for heavy traffic on a highway or city traffic jams.
The mode is well suited for single-lane highways when there is very little time to overtake. For mountain roads with constant climbs and turns.
All versions of the Toyota Camry received an automatic transmission with a sequential mode, which allows you to combine numerous functions of old automatic transmissions into one box. The flagship model received different engine operating modes, which will allow you to save fuel or make the most of the potential of the 3.5 liter engine.

Timing and engine assembly
Before installation, timing elements should be lubricated. Assembly begins with the crankshaft (gear, ring, bushing), then the dampers (without tightening). Place the chains first on the crankshaft, then on the driven gear. Install the drive gear on the lower chain and then on the upper chain. Tighten dampers.
Tighten the chains by turning the camshaft counterclockwise with a wrench, while the intermediate and crankshaft should not(!) rotate.
After assembling the timing belt, install the cover, treating the sealing surface with sealant. Next, you should secure the hydraulic tensioners and the crankshaft pulley. Then the cylinder head cover, also treated with sealant. Connect the power steering and ignition, install the radiator.

Let me clarify from the previous message - this inscription means the next service interval has arrived - it is simply reset:
Those who looked at how to reset the maint reqd of a Toyota Prius were still interested. MATway, May 16 Highlander
But it’s not there, and how can you understand what’s what if you don’t have the Internet at hand? For some models the procedure is different:.
Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. The recommended oil is 5w30, but it does not last long, it needs to be changed more often, otherwise there is a risk of coking the engine.
An alternative description if the method described above did not work: Insert the key into the ignition switch.
Replacing the timing chain
The timing chains are quite “hidden” in the engine system and will require disassembly to access them. First you need to disconnect the peripheral mechanisms for full access to the engine:
- Remove the radiator, generator and pumps;
- Disconnect the power steering pump;
- Loosen the clamp and disconnect the coolant hose.
Next comes the analysis of the engine itself. The process can be complicated when the cover screws are unscrewed and there is sealant instead of a gasket:
- Unscrew the bolts and remove the cover;
- Disconnect the water pump;
- Remove the crankshaft timing sensor;
- Remove the pulley with the oil sump.
Now comes the timing belt, all that remains is to gain access directly to the circuits:
- Remove the cover of the upper chain hydraulic tensioner, and then the hydraulic tensioner itself;
- Repeat a similar operation with the elements of the lower chain.
In both cases, extreme caution must be exercised: when disassembling the lower chain cover with carelessness, there is a risk of damaging the front crankshaft seal gasket, cylinder head and cover, and the upper chain cover is secured by the timing hydraulic tensioner spring.
Next, you should remove both tension arms: unscrew the bolt and remove it together with the sprocket. Remove the camshaft gears and chains. You should remove the top one first. If you need to remove the crankshaft, remove the bushing, seal ring and gear one by one. There are color codes on the side to help you identify which one fits on each shaft. The video provides an overview of the marks (V30 2AZ-FE):

Sometimes this procedure has to be carried out if the service has incorrectly set the date for the next maintenance.
How to reset the MAIN REQD indicator yourself
To reset a reminder, you need to:
- insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the “ON” position;
- turn the key to the “ACC” position;
- press and hold the TRIP/ODO button for a while;
- Without releasing the TRIP/ODO button, turn the ignition key to the “ON” position, and six dashes will appear on the display;
- hold down the TRIP/ODO button until zeros appear on the display instead of the “——” sign: “000000”.
After zeroing, you need to release the TRIP/ODO button and turn off the ignition.
How to disable this indicator in the form of instructions?
Resetting the indicator light bulb (MR) is absolutely not difficult. This manipulation is carried out as follows:
- use the ignition key by turning it to the ON position;
- transfer the key to ACC;
- Now you need to use the TRIP/ODO button. It must be held for several seconds;
- Next, we return to the key in the ignition. It must be set to the ON position, that is, turn on the ignition. This action must be carried out simultaneously with the use of the TRIP/ODO button. 6 dashes will appear on the display;
- hold the button until all the bars disappear and zeros appear on the display. This means that the odometer has been reset. There is another way to reset. To do this, you first need to change the oil, because MAINT REQD (MR) signals this, and then take the following measures:
- turn off the ignition system;
- use the daily odometer reset button and hold it;
- After this, you need to turn on the ignition, and continue to hold the reset button for daily odometer readings until the screen shows zeros.
MAINT REQD (MR) has now been removed. However, remember that after resetting it is necessary to urgently undergo scheduled maintenance in order to avoid emergencies and unforeseen breakdowns while driving. After all, you can’t joke with something like that.
Note: Resetting the MAINT REQD (MR) indicator light will allow you to correct an error made in a car service during a previous maintenance. Often, specialists set an incorrect date for the last service. Therefore, if you are absolutely sure that the car has undergone maintenance, then resetting the odometer will certainly help you.
“TRC OFF” light on Toyota: How to solve the problem with traction control
Car owners often notice that the “TRC On” light is on. This is traction control. What this feature protects against and controls on modern cars, as well as what to do if “TRC Off” lights up, the reader will find in this article.
The traction control system first appeared in 1971 in America on such famous cars as Cadillac and Buick. It began to be used on luxury cars of the German brand Mercedes since 1987. After the 2000s, manufacturers began to include TRC in every car.
What is TRC
Many car owners notice that the “TRC On” light comes on on various Toyota modifications. But not everyone knows what it is.
TRC translated from English means “Traction Control”. Speed sensors monitor wheel speed and the system uses measures to reduce traction. The first modifications of cars reduced traction by reducing engine speed. Modern vehicles reduce speed using a special viscous coupling.
If the “TRC On” lamp is on, this means that the wheel slip and skid control system is turned on. In Toyota, this system monitors and mitigates skidding and slipping. Although it was originally created only as anti-skid.
The TRC system works as follows:
- Sensors monitor wheel speed. The signals are sent to the ECU (electronic control unit).
- If the device detects an increase in speed, it transmits a signal to the actuators.
- Special automatic TRC valves block the movement of wheels that begin to slip.
Thus, traction control protects the driver and the car from creating emergency situations on the roads.
Attention! On cars of the Toyota Avensis, Auris and many other brands there is a button on the dashboard called “TRCOff”. It allows you to disable traction control.
How to use the traction control system
Traction control works when sliding slightly and even where you need to drive a difficult section of sandy road off-road. To drive on country roads, manufacturers have placed a button on the dashboard that turns off the traction control.
By clicking on it, the car owner will be able to drive the car along difficult sections of the road where intensive acceleration of the car is needed, and not blocking the wheels. But drivers should be aware that after pressing the button for a while, it automatically turns off and the traction control system comes into action again. Therefore, it will have to be pressed several times if the car crosses long, difficult sections.
But it happens that the VSC and TRC lamp turn on together on the dashboard monitor. This indicates an error in the driver safety monitoring system.
Nanoe - ionizer in Toyota Camry
› Camry ›
Toyota and Lexus owners often ask the question: “What is the Nanoe button in Camry? What is Nanoe? We will answer these questions in detail.
The car has several filtration and air purification systems. Everything that enters the car through the deflectors passes through the cabin filter. It stops dust and large particles of exhaust gases, but this is not enough to create a good atmosphere in the car, so the Panasonic campaign created an ionization device for the Toyota Camry.
Nanoe
Intrusion gas ionization systems are used on many Toyota vehicles for the domestic Japanese market. We'll tell you in detail what Nanoe is in Camry.
Nanoe is a system developed by Panasonic for air conditioners and home humidifiers. The device creates special ions that do not decay much longer than usual. Negative ions literally stick around harmful particles, neutralizing them.
Long-lasting ions fight allergens, viruses, bacteria, spores and dust.
The efficiency of this system is close to 99%, i.e. it eliminates almost all dangerous particles in the air, making it clean and safe. Nanoe particles also penetrate perfectly into fabrics, eliminating odors.

Benefits of Nanoe
Nanos are tiny negatively charged particles of water. Nanoe ions are formed from moisture in the air, so their creation does not require additional sources of water.

Pros of Nano ionization:
- this molecule exists much longer than usual, spreads over a long distance, cleaning even large rooms, not to mention the Camry interior,
- ionized water molecules, unlike ionized oxygen particles, are not able to react with nitrogenous compounds in the air, which makes it safe. Such ionization can be carried out around the clock in rooms in which people are located.
For Nanoe particles to form, the room temperature must be from 5 to 30 degrees, and the humidity from 25% to 85%.
Nanoe to Camry
In the Camry 50, this system was not installed in all cars; if the corresponding icon is not next to the hazard warning light button, then the device is missing.

The nano in the Camry XV50 turns on automatically when the interior fan is running. Charged particles enter the passenger compartment through the driver's air duct, so for proper operation of the system, do not block it. Maximum ionization functions when the openings for supplying air to the legs, to the face, to the face and legs are operated simultaneously.
When nanoparticles are generated, a small amount of ozone is released, which can be felt in some situations. But the concentration does not exceed the norm, and corresponds to the ozone saturation of the forest atmosphere
Noise may be heard while the device is operating, but this is not a sign of malfunction.
Nanoe in Camry 55 is activated by the corresponding button on the climate control unit.

Fighting bacteria. The test took place in a closed room with an area of 10 square meters, Staphylococcus aureus was spread. After 4 hours of operation of the Panasonic ionizer with the Nanoe device, air samples were taken, which showed 97% destruction of the bacteria.

The above effects are achieved due to the fact that negatively charged water particles adhere to harmful elements and destroy their structure.
Conclusion
Nanoe in Toyota Camry is not a superfluous thing, but a useful one. It will help keep the air in the cabin clean and eliminate unpleasant odors.
