How do I Make the Change Oil Light Go Out on a 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham?

The oil change light on a 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham is located in the message center on the instrument panel cluster. This light takes the place of an oil change reminder sticker that is normally affixed to the windshield. It illuminates when the vehicle's primary computer senses the engine oil is due for a change. The computer determines the need for an oil change based on a number of factors such as vehicle mileage, engine run time and driver habits.

Instructions

1. Shut down the vehicle's engine and turn the ignition to the "OFF" position. Place the gear selector lever in the "P" position. Engage the parking brake.

2. Turn the ignition back to the "ON" position. Do not start the engine.

3. Completely depress and release the gas pedal three times quickly within a 5-second time window.

4. Look at the dashboard message center. The oil change light should flash quickly and turn off.

5. Start the engine. Verify that the change oil light is off.
