Can the oil minder message ("change oil soon") be reset using the Tech 2 tool? And if so, how?

Is there a reason you want to use the Tech 2? Have you tried the traditional way of setting the DIC to the oil life screen and depressing and holding the reset button until it resets? The other method is to turn the key to the run position but not started then depress the gas pedal to the floor 3 times in less than 5 seconds.

I was not aware of the gas pedal method - I will try it. My DIC is not currently working - see previous threads.
