RESETTING THE OIL LIFE MONITOR

IMPORTANT:
^ Repair any TP sensor DTCs before proceeding with the reset procedure.
^ If the Engine Oil Life Monitor is reset due to a PCM replacement advise the customer. The customer has two options:
- Change the engine oil and filter.
- Determine when the last engine oil change occurred. Monitor the vehicle mileage and change the engine oil and filter at the next recommended service interval.
