Default Does the Computer give Service interval Warnings?

Does the Instrument Panel Display give warnings when its time to do a service? Such as the 60k service?

I went and checked the DTC codes, and I have NO CURRENT codes. A few history codes, but nothing interesting.

I was wondering because the Chevrolet dealer said that there is a warning for the 60k service, and they CLAIMED to reset it when I did the service. But I just got it today while driving, I hit reset.. and havent seen it since, even if I restart the car.


Anyhow, I just bought the HUGE 3 volume manuals, and heres what I found.

- There is in fact a service recommended at 60k miles

- My dealer said they reset this message

- NOWHERE in the manuals does it say that it gives a warning to do services, at least that I could find.


Thanks for any help. I saw this warning about a week ago. So I hit reset.. and it was gone.. till today.


My car is a '98 with 59,942 miles on it.


Thanks for any help!

Not for time/mileage intervals. However, the car does have an Oil Life Monitor to help you determine when to change the oil/filter and it will output a few warning messages in the DIC such as "Change Oil Soon" or "Change Oil Now".

Sounds to me like dealer unless perhaps he is talking about resetting the Oil Life Monitor if he included oil/filter in the service.

It is time to do the major BCM and computer file compression at 75,000 miles-It will say so on the DIC. Many files have become corrupt by that time.
