Change Oil Light Reset Procedure

[TFENT]

Hey Guys:

I looked all over for the oil change reset procedure and even looked in the maintenance section and I still can't find the procedure to reset the light.

Can someone post it for me please?? TY! :)

Key on, Engine off.
Press ENG MET within 5 second press it again.
Press and hold GAUGES button. CHANGE OIL light will flash.
Hold until CHANGE OIL light stops flashing. When it stops it is reset,

for 1990 :1. key on, engine off
2. press ENG MET and release. within 5 seconds press and release ENG MET again.
3. within 5 seconds of step 2 press and hold RANGE button. the CHANGE OIL light will flash.
4. hold RANGE button until CHANGE OIL light stops flashing and goes out.

The procedure is in the owner's manual.

Any clues on how to proceed if this doesn't work?

I've tried every timing possible on the two hits to ENG/MET and can't get a flashing "CHANGE OIL", just stays steady.

Did you hit the range button and hold which is the final button for the procedure on your 91?

Pounded on it like the deranged monkey that I am. Tells me all about the range but without a flashing CHANGE OIL that's all I get.

for the earlier cars the 'range' button is the one to push because there is not a gauges button that shows the digital coolant and oil temps. the above video should work.

The deranged monkey sometimes wins.

Finally hit the cadence that worked, even 1/2 sec intervals ENG/MET ENG/MET RANGE. That got the flash, then held RANGE 10 sec or so. Phew.

Thanks for the support, some days I just don't get along with GM stuff!

Best,
