Turn the ignition key to on position, but do not start the vehicle.
Wait for the "change oil light" to come on
Tap the throttle pedal three times quickly
Wait for the light to flash several times, then go out.
Start the car and drive and it won't come back on.

It usually works the first time, but repeat if light stays on.

SOURCE: How do I reset the oil change light in a 2008 Chevy Suburban

Try this: turn the key to the RUN position (don't start it), press the accelerator to the floor 3 times within 5 seconds. The oil life light should flash twice, indicating that it's been reset.

If you have steering wheel controls, you can navigate to where it says Oil Life and then hold the arrow down, that should also reset the oil life.

SOURCE: Tried turning on ignition and pump gas pedal three times, but light still flashes

Look in you owners manual if you have one, It should tell you there.
If not call one of your local jiffy lube or minit lube, they should be able to tell you how to reset it.
Good luck

2001 suburban air bag light flashes 7 times and stays on we had the abs computer changed a week ago.any thoughts thanks

Was the ABS module changed at a GM dealer?
The SIR module (air bag) does no recognize the new ABS module, that is what is causing the flashing lamp.
The dealer will be able to reset the SIR module.
Let me know.
