Av engine service light


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have 3,000 miles and the engine service light is on.  I  was told by the dealer this is the first engine oil change.  But I rather save the $34.00 and do the oil change myself.  Is there a way to reset the engine service light?

you can try  disconnecting the battery and leaving it off for about 20   it'll erase your radio settings probably though

Unhooking the battery will only get rid of the time, not the presets, they are saved in the radio.  Is it the service engine soon light, or change oil light.  If it's the change oil put the key to the 2nd position and pump the gas 4 times.  Then start up the truck and bam, it'll be gone for another few thousand miles.

Also if it is your "change oil light" here's a little hint READ YOUR OWNERS MANUAL. Everything you need to know about your info center is listed in it

Thanks guys, I was just about to moszy down to the dealer for a checkup.  djames, I got to look in the av manual and checked  the gas cap.  Today after filling a tank full of 92, the engine service light cleared.  I found out later my wife filled up a week ago and may have accidently placed the cap  wrong.

almost forgot about that, it does say something in the service manual about that.  If the gas cap isn't properly sealed the check engine light will go on.  Probably something GM did just so you take the truck in.
