2001 Toyota Corolla radio/trip computer

Up under the dash in line with the steering wheel. There is a cover on it so you can't see the fuses. It is the most difficult location of any Toyota I have ever worked on.

• That light is an indicator that the required miles have been drove and it's time to do an oil change. The light should be reset after every oil change as the computer keeps track of the miles to warn you when it's time again should you forget.

• If you want to turn the light off then follow these steps.

• Push and hold the trip button and then turn the ignition to on while holding the trip reset button. Keep holding for 10 seconds and the maintenance required light will go offf.

The Toyota Corolla has been around long enough that many owners find themselves needing to replace the factory stereo. Installing a new stereo in the Toyota Corolla gives improved sound and updated features. Swapping out the stereo in the Toyota Corolla takes basic tools and less than an hour. This article covers models from 1990 to 2000.

Open the hood and remove the negative battery cable from the terminal. Apply the parking brake and place the car in "D."

> Remove the trim from around the stereo by prying with your fingers at one corner. Some early models have two screws at the top of the trim piece to remove first. Allow the trim to hang on the drivers side of the dash if it's connected to the cigarette lighter.

> Locate and remove the four screws holding the stereo in place. Pull the radio out of the dash and disconnect the wires from the back of the head unit.

To install

> Connect the wiring harness adaptor to the original harness and let it hang from the dash. Slide the new stereo into the Toyota radio mounting kit, which is a thin metal cover and secure it per the manufacturer's instructions. Most adaptors have screws to hold the stereo in place, however some have clips, which engage automatically.
>Plug the wiring harness adaptor and antenna wire into the back of the new head unit and push the entire assembly into the dash. Reconnect the negative battery cable and turn the radio on.

> Ensure all of the stereo controls and speakers are working. Secure the radio in the dash with the original four screws and replace the trim.

I understand you remove the panel and then for a
1990, it has a handle and you simply pull it straight out.

there is a fuse box under the dash on the drivers side. it is very hard to reach. it is located above your left knee when you are seated in the drivers seat. lay on your back, look up under the dash, use flashlight. The lid for the fuse box has a diagram showing which fuse goes to the radio.

can you play the cds? if you can but it won't come out, it may be a motor issue. if you can't, it may be an obstruction. to avoid doing any damage to the cd or the player, do not stick anything in there to try and dislodge it. instead, remove the player from the dash (unbolt and unclip the moulding shell, unbolt the radio from the mount, and unplug it), remove the top case, and remove the cd. while you're in there, try and find the obstruction. in many cases, pieces from the thin plastic sleeve from the visor cd holders will stick to it and come off in the player.

You likely blew a fuse for your lights. Here is a wiring diagram for the original radio.

i have a 97 corolla as well, and i've changed the radio out several times on my own. if you take a small screwdriver and stick it in between the panel that goes around the around the area where the radio is, u should be able to pry it off relatively easy. just be sure to remove the sliders off the AC controls before you do. after you pop that panel off, you just have to disconnect the wiring harnesses going to the clock, hazard lights, rear defroster, and AC button. the radio is bolted in there with a mounting bracket, so you'll have to unscrew that as well. you'll need to unscrew that bracket from the radio you have in there, and mount it to the one you wanna install....hopefully this helps you out. it sounds harder than it really is.
