How to reset the maintenance required light on the 2020–2025 Toyota Corolla
See also: Toyota maintenance required light reset for all models.
This is the procedure in the 2021 and 2024 Corolla owner’s manuals.
- With the engine running (or the power switch ON), use the meter control switches on the steering wheel to open the settings screen on the multi-information display.
- Select Vehicle Settings.
- Select Scheduled Maintenance.
- Select Yes. A message confirms that the reset is complete.
Oil change tips
- A 5-quart jug covers one change on any of these engines.
- 0W-8 is not sold everywhere: buy it before the oil change, or use 0W-16 and switch back to 0W-8 next time, as the manual allows.
- Do not overfill. Toyota’s manuals tell you to warm up the engine, turn it off, wait about 5 minutes and then check the level on the dipstick.
What battery does the 2020–2025 Toyota Corolla key fob take?
CR2032 for 2020–2022. From 2023 the smart key takes a larger CR2450, while the regular remote key still takes a CR2032. Data from Toyota’s owner’s manuals (Do-it-yourself maintenance: key battery), linked under Sources.
| Model years | Key type | Battery |
|---|---|---|
| 2020–2022 | All remote and smart keys | CR2032 |
| 2023–2025 | Smart key (keyless entry and push-button start) | CR2450 |
| 2023–2025 | Regular remote key (no smart key system) | CR2032 |
- You need a flathead screwdriver (cover the tip with a rag or tape so you do not scratch the key) and the new lithium coin battery.
- Insert the new battery with the + terminal facing the way shown in the manual.
- Toyota notes the batteries are sold at Toyota dealers, electrical appliance shops and camera stores.
- A weak battery shows up as a shorter range or a key that works only up close.

What is 0W-8 oil and can I use 0W-16 instead?
0W-8 is a very low-viscosity oil (JASO GLV-1 grade) that Toyota specifies for the newer 2.0L Corolla. If 0W-8 is not available, the manuals allow 0W-16, but it must be replaced with 0W-8 at the next oil change.
Which engine does my Corolla have?
Check the engine size on your window sticker, registration or engine cover. The 2020–2022 manuals cover both the 1.8L and the 2.0L; the 2023–2025 manuals list only the 2.0L.
How do I reset the maintenance light on a 2020–2025 Corolla?
