I just went today to get an oil and filter change and I am seeing that the maintenance required indicator is still blinking but it goes away after while do you know what the reason might be????
@P0is0n85 It just wasn't reset. Perform the reset as show here, and it *should* clear up. If it does not, you might want to have your vehicle checked out.
It's just there to remind you that your car is cool.
No, seriously though, it's an indicator to tell you that the engine isn't up to normal operating temperature yet, so take it easy for a bit. No smoky burnouts or any of that jazz. Not that I pay that much mind, I dog the hell out of my Yaris. 78K miles and running strong!
Well, you may need to refill your highbeam fluid. Low highbeam fluid can also cause that warning to light up. Thankfully, the toyota headlamp assemblies are DOT3 compliant, so all you need to do is pop the headlight bulb out, and use a funnel to fill the headlight about halfway with brake fluid. Make sure you're using DOT3 brake fluid though, the cheap stuff will actually make your lights dimmer!

I tried this on my 2004 Scion Xa and it's still the same for my 2009 Yaris.
Dealers are ALWAYS going to rip you off.
Thanks for this video!
