How to Reset the Oil Life on a GMC T Series
Steps from the 2010 GMC T Series owner's manual (Vehicles with the Engine Oil Life System).
- Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN with the engine off.
- Fully press and release the accelerator pedal slowly three times within five seconds.
- Check that the change engine oil light turns off, which shows the system is resetting.
- Turn the key to LOCK/OFF.
- Reset the system whenever the oil is changed, even if the change engine oil light was not on.
- If the change engine oil light comes back on when the vehicle is started, the reset failed; repeat the procedure.
