How To Reset Oil Change Light On Chrysler 200

For your info, this operation work for the first and second generations of the Chrysler 200 (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 model years).

Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position without starting the engine
Then within 10 seconds, we’re going to step the ACCELERATOR pedal to the floor three times

On the second generation of Chrysler 200, you can also access the cluster menu to reset the oil life. We’ll use the directional pad on the left of the steering wheel to do it. So the first step you need to do is:

Turn on the ignition switch
First, we’re gonna put the ignition in the run position. I can either be running but I’d rather just turn it off, actually take your foot off the brake and press the START button twice
Go to the VEHICLE INFO
Wait for this thing to boot up and then you’re gonna want to go up or down to be in the VEHICLE INFO screen
Get to the OIL LIFE
After that, you scroll over with the left or right key until you get to the OIL LIFE
Hold down the OK button
To reset it you’re gonna hold the OK button down and you’re done

So that’s how easy it is to reset the light. Everything looks good, so now you’re ready to go. I hope that helps you out. Leave any comments down below, and I’ll see you next time.
