Changed the battery and truck will not start.Does the computer need to be reset? If so how do I go about resetting computer?

Hi, If you removed the battery from vehicle this has reset your computer! you need the garage to reset your computer should not be a long job. Please leave me feed back Malcolm Campbell, [email protected] Thanks.

You should not have to reset anything but the radio. i would get a trouble light and start checking from the battery to the starter.

give it a few cycles to relearn its self- key on start run, shut down,start and run, shut down and start and check it out- Denny

Instructions

Turn your ignition key to the accessory position when the lights and radio come on (before starting the car).

Press and hold the "Trip" button on the instrument panel until the red light comes on.

Press the "Trip" button a second time and hold until "Reset" appears.

Press the "Trip" button a third time. The computer is now reset

It comes on when the computer recognizes that you need a oil change. In older models, they tend to come on for no reason. If the oil is good and you know it doesn't need changed, don't worry about it. A oil changed is recommended at 3000 miles, but I have always went 5000. You car has a sensor that recognizes the oil command. You might be able to get rid of it by taking off the hot side post of the battery. If your not worried and you know the oil is ok, I wouldn't worry about it. Make sure the cap is on tight though. If you have anymore questions, please let me know. I am here to help.

Sounds like your theft system. You can reset it by leaving the key in the on postion for 15-20 minutes. IF this doesn't work, you may need to visit the dealership.

Might need to disconnect the battery for a few minutes to reset the computer.

unplugging the battery usually does the reset... leave it unhooked for a longer time
