No, it comes on every 5,000 miles to remind you to change your oil and filter. The maintenance-required light is easy to reset. On most Toyotas you simply: Turn the key to the on position. Determine that the odometer reading is displayed. (For some models, it's the trip-meter "A" that you want to be displaying.) Turn the key back off. Push and hold the reset button for the trip meters. (Same button as used to navigate between the odometer and the two trip meters.) While continuing to depress the reset button, turn the key back to the "on" position, but not so far as the "start" position. The odometer display should come up with a series of dashes that disappear one by one. When they've all disappeared, a series of zeros will display. Continue holding the reset button until all of the zeros clear and the odometer (or trip meter "A") reading returns. The maintenance-required light should be off, and the vehicle will now be counting toward the next 5,000 interval, at which time it will turn on again.

According to the Owner's manual it means that the oil pressure is too high or too low.

So my 2011 Toyota Corolla maintenance required light is coming on I did the following steps but it’s still on and I’ve had my oil changed about 1000 miles ago could it be anything else? Or am I just doing something wrong?
