SOURCE: 2006 Ford Explorer "Oil Change Required" light is still on after changing the oil

IF YOU FIND THIS INFO USEFUL PLEASE RATE ME AS A FIXYA! THANKS

Oil Change Reset
A press of the OIL CHANGE RESET switch will allow you to
reset the oil life feature to 100% (or your Personalized Oil Reset
Percentage). After you have the oil changed, you must execute
the following procedure. Press the OIL CHANGE RESET switch
and hold for five seconds as the M/C counts down for five
seconds. After a successful reset the Message Center will display
“OIL LIFE RESET TO 100%.” If you have established a
Personalized Oil Reset Percentage, the display will show that
percentage instead of 100%. To ensure accurate oil life
indicators, perform this reset procedure only after an oil change.
Your Personalized Oil Reset Percentage allows you to establish a
smaller oil change interval than the manufacturer’s
recommended interval. To establish your Personalized Oil Reset
Percentage perform the following procedure:
1. Press and hold the OIL CHANGE RESET switch and press
the RESET switch while the display is still counting down
the 5 seconds to reset. The display will change to “START
OIL LIFE AT XXX%.”
2. Press the OIL CHANGE RESET switch until the displayed
percentage is the Personalized Oil Reset Percentage that you
desire. Your choices are 100%, 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%,
40% and 30%.

there is also a small valve body you are supposed to replace when replaceing the phasers... also there is a ssm for replacing the valve lash adjusters. alot of time the small engine tick you hear can be a cracked exhaust manifold too so checking those really close is heavily advised because the cracks are really hard to see sometimes. i have seen broken push rods on these engines and they can be a pain to pinpoint where the noise is comming from. hope this helps

MY OIL IS CLEAN AND FULL.BUT MY ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT IS ON . I HAVE A 2010 HONDA FIT BASE. I HAVE ZERO INCOME SO I CAN'T AFFORD REPAIRS. WILL I BE SAFE.?

Please don't post your phone number on the internet.
The warning light should be a reminder to have the oil changed.
You can drive up to five or six thousand miles between oil changes.
When the oil is changed the reminder should be reset.
You can check with your owners manual to make sure this info is correct.

How do you reset service light on a 2009 ford focus 1.6 zetec

If you mean "Check engine / Service engine soon" light, you will need an OBD II Scanner / tool. Other ways that sometimes work is if you unhook that battery, try to start the car with no battery (It would drain any remaining power in the cars systems), wait a hour, hook the battery back up and start the car, it might of forgotten the problem. Chances are, the light would be back on within 3-5 miles of driving it again.
If your saying "Service soon" Like an oil change reminder, look in the cars manual... Most cars you hold "Reset" when the message is displayed / or when your looking at "Oil life" (GM's have "Oil Life", idk if ford does.)
Good Luck!

What is a Wrench light indicator in my 2008 honda Civic

The wrench light indicator is a reminder that you are do for your next service(For example:oil change, air filter change, trans fluid change and so on) base on the miles on your car. A lot of people just get a oil change and have the light reset. If you read your car manual book it will tell you what service you need to do. Note: light come on every 3,000 miles and you can reset any time you want.
How to reset light:
1.with headlight off, turn the key on. Do not start the car.
2. On the left side of th dash below the heat vent there is a button that says "sel reset". push that button until you see "oil life" and a percent on the gauge display screen.
3.Now while on the oil life display, push and hold the "sel reset" button until screen start to flash. you might have to hold for 45sec.
4.when the screen start flashing, release button and hold it down again. might have to hold for about 45sec.

if you did it right the percent should go up to 100% and the wrench light should go out.

What is the wrench symbol light on a crown vic 2006?

This is to remind you of the oil change, and also they have it programed to come on every 7500 miles for service, this is so they can sell you something but basicly for oil changes, to reset the light and when you have an oil change you should ask them to reset it even if its not on, depending on how often you do an oil change you may just need to reset every second oil change, for example an oil change should be done every 3,000 mile this way the light comes on and you can wait until the oil is due the second time, hope this helps. to reset turn key on all the way but dont start engine make sure all doors are closed then push and hold the trip button until you hear 3 beeps system is now reset.

2006 Ford Fusion - no owner's manual. Light on dash that looks like a wrench. Don't want to go to dealer if I don't have to.

I think you are referring to the oil change reminder. Call a ford dealer and ask them how to reset that light.

Should a wrench light come on when my 2004 passat needs service?

Check Engine light

The easy fix? OK--here it is---remove positive battery cable--step on brake for 10 seconds, reconnect cable.

If it resets, get a code reader to see what the malfunction is. Remember---Volvo's remind you of oil change intervals by displaying that wonderful light!

BTW--at 123000 miles I would suspect the oxygen sensor is in dire need of replacement. Replace with Bosch only!
