Reseting Service light on 240 1991 Need help, tried these ways: 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Manolo on  Wed Apr 27 17:18 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Wow, pretty low miles. It is just getting broke in.

I don't think the key position matters, and I know that disconnecting the battery won't do anything but loose your radio code.

The reset button is notoriously difficult. They all are, but at least on a '91 they put it where you can get at it without standing on your head.

I usually do it with the car running, but I don't think it matters. After I change the oil, I grab the awl from my toolbox and get in the car to start the engine to check for leaks. After I start it and the oil pressure light goes off, I press the reset button using the awl. Sometimes it takes a couple of presses to get the light to go out.

If the switch fails and you cannot get the light to go out, remove the bulb. Most of us change oil more often than the service light indicates anyway.
