Use a scan tool to confirm the code and watch the reset switch input while pressing the button
Visually inspect switch, bezel, and wiring harness for damage, corrosion, or water intrusion
Verify connector is fully seated and pins are not bent, pushed out, or corroded
Check relevant fuses and vehicle ground points
Perform a wiggle test on the harness while monitoring the switch signal with a scan tool or meter

Open circuit: control module sees high impedance; voltage may read battery or pull‑up voltage (approx. 5–12 V depending on system)
Closed switch: voltage typically pulled to ground (~0 V) or to low logic level
Expected continuity when switch pressed: near 0 Ω between switch terminals (closed)
High resistance (kΩ) or infinite resistance indicates open circuit

Read and record freeze frame data and any related codes. Clear the code and attempt to re-create the fault by pressing the oil change reset button while monitoring input with a scan tool.
Visually inspect the reset button assembly, mounting, and wiring for damage, water entry, or corrosion. Check connector for bent or pushed‑out pins.
With ignition on, backprobe the switch connector and measure the control wire voltage with the button released and pressed. Note expected change (open vs closed).
If no change, disconnect connector and check continuity between the switch terminals while pressing the button. Replace switch if it does not close (infinite resistance when pressed).
If switch checks good, perform continuity/resistance check from the module input pin to the switch connector pin. Repair any open or high resistance wiring (splice, connector, or harness repair).
Check related fuses and ground points for integrity. Repair as needed.
If wiring and switch are good but input remains open at the module, test or replace the module input per manufacturer procedures or consult technical service information.
After repair, clear codes and verify proper operation by performing multiple reset attempts and confirming the code does not return.
