Check the "indicator lights" section of the manual. That's where the
instructions are for the 2004 model.

At 4500 miles since last reset, the Maint Reqd light will blink at you
on startup. At 5000 miles since last reset, the Maint Reqd light will
stay on solid.

It's just a reminder by miles that you are due for the next scheduled
maintenance. It is not smart (doesn't go by time, or do any oil
analysis), just a mile counter. Usually that is an oil change/tire
rotation: http://smg.toyotapartsandservice.com/

Should your dealer forget to reset it, or you go to an independent
mechanic or DIY, you can reset the light yourself.

Reminder Indicators", item (j) in the "Service reminder indicators and
warning buzzers" section.)
