If your rav4 is running fine, its more than likely the 5000 mile interval light that comes on to remind you to change the oil. It is designed to come on and bug you every 5000 miles, in hopes that you will change, or have your oil changed. Here is how to reset it. Turn ignition on, dont start the engine, just ignition on. Press in the odometer button, and hold it in.(make sure your odometer is displaying the milage, not the trip meter) Turn ignition off while keeping the od button pressed in. Turn ignition back on, still holding button in, and od will display dashed line like this: -------. The lines will start to count down and you od will return to reading out the milage. The maintenace required light should not come back on, unless there is some other problem. Good luck. Jeff

Listed in your owner's manual. Next to the maintenance required light, you should see a small slot with a button in it. Stick your ignition key into the slot and hold it in for about 10 seconds. When you start your car, the light should be green, indicating that it has been reset. The maintenance light will turn orange automatically the next time that the mileage reaches one of Honda's recommended maintenance intervals.
