You can stop by Pro-Tek Automotive 503.653.9315 and we will reset the light. "no charge"

PS.
I have the reset tool and the GT1/SSS so I never do this but I think you can
ground pin #7 for 7-9 sec. and this will reset the oil change and if you hold it
to ground for 15sec. it will reset the service light...

What year is your car? That is a lil on the important side before you go attempting to ground out pins.

I have the tools too, but I dont even know you. lol

I fabbed a horseshoe shaped piece of 12ga romex strand [solid copper wire] which works quite effectively :)

You know mine has been on since I've owned my car. Just learned to live with it.

WTF, this is usually a 15 second fix, get it done!

I like to use a cheap pushbuton switch, which I also use to bump the cam over for adjusting the valves.
