Change Oil And Low Tire Pressure

[eag182]

First it was the Change Oil light. I changed the oil, went to the fuse box to reset the light, and the button wont work.

I clearly see the button that says "reset", but when I push it, it does not go in. Now the and Low Tire Pressure light is on as well so I read the manual once again and it says to press that button.

When I do, nothing happens. I dont even think the button in going in. Anyone else have this problem? What am I doing wrong?

How long are you holding it down? you have to hold it down till they reset.

yeah there is no button locking mechanisim on the reset, you have to hold it down for it to work.

Kinda on the same subject, gonna snag this thread for myself I changed my oil about 1500 miles ago and my Change oil light has come on and I cant get the change oil light to reset am I doing somehting wrong? Iam turning the car power on and holding it in, but it doesn't seem to reset even after the 30 seconds it is suppost to take.

you press the button til the appropriate light is flashing (ether oil or tire pressure) then you press it again and hold it down til you hear chimes.

VTOLDS,

Im thinking theres a problem with the button mechanism. Im having the same problem as you.

[jackal2000]

can you get the light to flash?

[Vtolds]

I couldnt get my light to flash but I haven't tried in a couple days.

yea you dont hold the button until the appropriate one is flashing like tire pressure or oil, when its blinking on which one you want you hold the button down until ur chimes kick in and the light gets constant and it will shut off.......

With mine I hold it down for a few seconds and let it go, then it flashes and I push it again to get to the correct light, then hold it down and listen for the chime

the first initial push doesnt hafta be held down, i thought so to, but it doesnt.....just push it once and i think the change oil light starts blinking first.......

[eag182]

I'd tell what would happen when i press it down, but it doesnt even do that


It does absolutely nothing when i apply pressure to the button

what also works is what my dad told me turn ur car off hit eaither the brake or the gass three times really fast and turn the car back on. it does something with the computer. it worked for when that happens

What I do is put the key in the ignition start it and then rub a lucky rabbit foot, knock on wood dash kit and then scream at the car and rev the engine until goes off. Read it in a book somewhere ....it works.

Hopefully I read the "problem" right. I have a big problem with not really reading things though...but trying to get the change oil light to go off?

I had this problem last month when i changed my oil (one thing I do know what to do) and usually this works, turn on the car, then turn it off...press down the gas 3 or 4 times; just short pulses, then cut the car back on. The light should go off then. It works for me Good luck

Luv U! Luv Me! Nikki!
