In 2007, Toyota jumped on the hybrid bandwagon with its Camry Hybrid offering. The 2009 Camry Hybrid came with a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine that produced 187 horsepower. Toyota equipped the 2009 Camry Hybrid with a system to alert the driver, via a "Maint" light, that the vehicle needs maintenance, such as an oil change. After performing the maintenance on the 2009 Camry, this light needs reset manually. Toyota lays out a specific set of steps to reset this light. Show
Step 1Sit in the drivers seat and turn the hybrid system to the "On" position, but do not start the vehicle. Step 2Press the "Disp" button on the steering wheel until "Trip A" is displayed on the instrument cluster. Step 3Turn the hybrid system to the "Off" position. Press and hold the reset knob under the instrument cluster screen, then turn the "Power" switch to the "On" position, without starting the Camry. Step 4Observe as "Oil Mode Reset" appears on the instrument cluster display. Hold the "Reset" button for at least five seconds, until the instrument cluster screen displays "Complete." Step 5Turn the "Power" switch off. References Writer Bio Justin Cupler is a professional writer who has been published on several websites including CarsDirect and Autos.com.
