I recently got an oil change on my Ford Galaxy, but the oil change light is still on. How do I reset it to turn it off? The usual way of holding down the trip reset button isn't working for me.
ReplyYou may need to perform a manual reset. First, turn your key to the 'ON' position without starting the car. Then, fully depress and release the gas pedal three times within 10 seconds. The oil light should blink a few times, indicating that the system has been reset. If this doesn't work, you may need to consult your owner's manual for specific instructions.
I had the same issue with my Ford Galaxy. I found that turning the key to the 'ON' position and holding down the trip reset button for a few seconds did the trick. Give it a try and see if that works for you.
I work at a Ford dealership and we see this issue quite often. Sometimes, the problem can be fixed by disconnecting the car's battery for a few minutes and then reconnecting it. This will reset the computer and should turn off the light. If it continues to stay on, it's best to bring it in for a diagnostic check.
