Default Tech 2 question and codes

My Cluster went out and waiting to find a new one.

Will a tech 2 read all the codes the dash does (not just emissions) and reset the oil life? I am the end of oil life and need a way to reset it.

You can reset the oil life by turning the key to the on position (not starting) and pressing the accelerator either 3 times or 4 times, then shut off. It'll show a message that oil life was reset on the DIC. But yes, the Tech2 will do it also.

Bravo29,

I'm in Rockford and probably have a instrument cluster, if that's what you're looking for. Give me a call or text 815 979-2352.

Nothing lights up, no gauges, no DIC messages, no speedo, no tach. NADA, Zippo, Ziltch.


My app on my phone to a wifi plugged in gives me all the info I need that the dash is supposed to do for now.

bravo29,
I'm curious about the app you make reference to. How does it work? Is it like (for lack of a better word) a scanner?
Thanks,
Rock

I have been using an app called torque. You will need a Bluetooth dongle that plugs into your obd2 port (around 20 bucks give or take). There is a free version of the app as well as a paid version. It will read/delete codes etc. and give a ton of other info. Check it out.

I use Dash command with the all the GM modules. It's sold on google play and Apple for $9.99 plus $5 per module. What sucks the company doesn't support the the phone apps anymore even though its still being sold. So no updates to bugs an such.

I had it for about 3-4 years now.
