Resetting the
Oil Change Indicator on the VVM
Posted on SCCoA by

The VMM monitors engine oil temperature and engine tachometer signals to
measure quality of oil and indicate when engine oil should be changed.
The green bar under OK on the oil change display is lit for 0 to 89% of
the oil change cycle, the word SOON under the word CHANGE is lit for 90 to
99%, the word NOW is lit for 100 to 115%, the word NOW is lit and flashes
for 17 seconds when the ignition switch is turned on after 115% of the oil
change cycle.
The oil change display will turn off after 15 minutes if the VMM receives
no tachometer signal. This is a diagnostic precaution that could be caused
by an intermittent connection or by the engine not being on.
After changing oil, the VMM must be manually reset:
1. Turn ignition to OFF position.
2. Turn ignition to RUN position, do not start.
3. Within 16 seconds of turning ignition to run, depress reset switch
through the access hole.
4. The oil change display will flash, depress reset switch until the
display stops flashing.
