If the "Maintenance Required" light on your 2005 Camry's dashboard is lit up, it may mean it's time to take your car in for some routine work. Most mechanics and auto technicians will reset the light for you when you bring the car in, but you can also reset it yourself.
To reset the "Maintenance Required" light for a 2005 Toyota Camry:
- Make sure your odometer is showing the total mileage counter rather than the A or B trip mileage counter. If it's showing trip A or B mileage, press the odometer button (above the steering wheel, in the instrument panel) until the total mileage is displayed.
- Turn the car off.
- Push and hold the odometer button.
- Turn the key to ACC, rather than all the way, so that the instrument panel lights up but the engine doesn't start.
- After about 5 or 6 seconds the "Maintenance Required" light should go out. Release the odometer button.
- Turn the car off (or on, if you're going somewhere).

How to reset the maintenance light on a 2005 Honda CR-V
The maintenance light comes on to remind you that your vehicle is (sometimes) due for maintenance, or may be due soon. However, if you do your own maintenance, or if the maintenance was done but the counter wasn't reset, you might want to reset it yourself to get rid of the MAINT REQ'D light.
To reset the maintenance light on a 2005 Honda CR-V, hold in the trip reset button (the button you push to reset the trip odometer or switch between trip counters) and start the vehicle. The MAINT REQ'D message will still come on. Continue holding down the trip reset button for about 10 seconds or so, and the MAINT REQ'D message will go away. Once it does, you can release the button.
If the maintenance light does not go off after about 10 seconds, turn the vehicle off and try it again, being sure to hold in the trip reset button before starting the car. Note that this method will turn off the maintenance light, but it won't do anything for the check engine light.

How to reset the maintenance light on a 2003 Honda Civic
At predetermined intervals, the maintenance light on your 2003 Honda Civic's dashboard will light up (MAINT REQD). This light is meant to remind you to take your car in for a maintenance service or tune-up; it does not mean there is anything wrong with the car.
If you've already done the suggested maintenance, or you just don't want to take the car in any time soon, you can reset the maintenance light yourself. To reset the maintenance light, turn the car off and take the key out of the ignition. Push in and hold the trip odometer reset button (the stem button located above the steering wheel on the instrument panel). Then put the key in the ignition and start the car. Keep holding the button down until you see the MAINT REQD light go out. (It should take about 5-7 seconds.) Once the light goes out, release the button.
