1. Make sure the light is has a wrench icon. This article is not intended to help reset a “service engine” light.
2. Without turning on your car, turn the key to the right and you’ll see all of your dash lights come on.
3. Press on the brake 4 times. On the 4th time, hold the brake petal down for 30 seconds and release. This should reset the light.
4. Always always always contact your mechanic! This trick was told to me by my mechanic because I saw the light and took it in for servicing. I went to a non-dealer mechanic, but after they ran a diagnostic, they couldn’t find anything wrong. I called my GM mechanic and they suggested that if noting was found wrong, it was probably a light that needed to be reset. I plan to take it in for a tune-up soon but knowing that nothing serious was wrong was a nice weight off my shoulders and my wallet!
To reset the service light on your vehicle is a straight forward procedure. Ignition off , Hold down the left dash button with the 000 s on . Whilst holding the button turn on the ignition and watch the display count down to 0 . Turn ignition off then on again and there you have it. Magic. Obviously this should be done in conjunction with a routine service to insure your car is safe reliable and legal .
Considering it’s made by a GM company, I would assume the standard practice here works there…
Turn key to on, but do not start…
Pump gas peddle three times…
Press and hold brake peddle till the service light blinks and then goes out…
Start the car to make sure the light was reset…
Or…
Turn to on…
Hold trip reset button…
Start car
keep holding trip reset till the light on the dash goes out…
Hopefully one of those works, but they’re just kinda the ‘try this’ until someone who knows chimes in.
