How do I make it go away? My car is up to date and I'm always fixing and servicing it. I just need to know how to reset the info display so it stops popping up every time I start the car.

take it to an auto parts store and have them check and see why it is on.most places do it for free and ask them to cut it off.

Hi,

If you have a service light coming on, you need the computer device to reset it. You can buy the reading device from Canadian Tire in Canada and I suspect at Lowes in the USA. If you want to clear the message got to a dealership and ask them to check the message for you. They will do this for free. They will also clear the message for you. I had this message for my trailblazer. It was a faulty gas cap that was causing the problem. I replaced the gas cap with a cheap after market one and no more issues.

It gets reset when the garage service it. I believe its a computerised chip thats done by computer
