Oil Life Monitor reset
Question:
My new 2002 Envoy has an Oil Life Monitor built into it. To reset the thing, ignition switch to run, accell. pedal to the floor three times within 5 seconds, then the "Change Oil" light is supposed to flash to indicate the monitor has been reset. I changed oil before the "Change Oil" light came on and want to reset the monitor. I do the procedure yet the oil light does not flash. I talked to my dealer and the service advisor says it will not flash if the oil light hasn’t set. Is this true? No mention of this anywhere in the service manual or owners manual. Doesn’t seem right, how do you know if the system go reset or not? Has anyone else experienced this? Is the guy right or should I find another dealer to correct a problem? How can I tell if I reset the monitor or not? Thanks Paul P
Response:
I change my 2001 Sierra before the light comes on and do the same reset process…the change oil light flashes indicating the system has reset itself. -Dick-
