The "CHANGE OIL" monitor light on the instrument cluster is a reminder to change oil. When changing oil, reset the oil life monitor whether the
"CHANGE OIL" light came on or not.

2. Fully depress accelerator pedal to Wide Open Throttle (WOT) position and release it three times within five seconds.
^ The light is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM is monitoring the TPS signal for 3 consecutive signals above
96%. The PCM will acknowledge, if the reset was successful, by flashing the "Change Oil" light twice, then turning off the light.
3. If "CHANGE OIL" warning/indicator lamp flashes then goes out, the system has been reset.
4. If "CHANGE OIL" warning/indicator lamp doesn't reset, turn ignition switch "OFF" and repeat procedure.
^ If "CHANGE OIL" light is inoperative or remains "ON," refer to Powertrain Management / Computerized Engine Controls / Testing
