I am not 100% sure this will work on a tC, but i have an xA and this trick works on almost ALL Toyota's made after 2000

insert key, and turn to "ON" position.

Look at odometer, make sure its on ODO and not TRIP1, or TRIP2

turn the key to the "OFF" position.

press and hold the trip reset button (the only button on the odometer)

while holding, turn key to "ON" position again.

The odometer will show blinking bars, succeeding from right to left. once all bars have succeeded, it will say "000000000"

Your MIL has been rset.

Turn your key to "OFF" position, then back, and start your car.

The MIL light should be off.

(NOTE: this does not reset the CEL, just the MIL. the CEL or Check Engine Light cannot be reset without using an OBDII interface, or a hard reset by removing the battery cable. This technique should only be used when preforming a full service, or an oil change.)
