I got a tone using procedure #4, and yours, I didn't get a flashing triangle but I did get a tone... And it didn't work.... Dang

I'm wondering if there is a way to figure out what works with what year car, by checking the VID.

No again. Jeez, what is different about my car?

First year production... have you tried disconnecting the battery ? Leave the key in POS II (headlights on)

No I haven't disconnected the battery - that will reset a bunch of other stuff. But it is looking like this may be my last resort..

BTW, now, no matter which method I try, the service / oil change light doesn't blink when it is supposed to, during the procedure - now I get a tone instead.. Curioser and curiouser..

I also got the chime only and it went away with 'my' procedure. Possible the chime will go away by itself after a while. The 2001 may have a different way, but you may also get into a software glitch as well. Normally battery disconnect for a few moments would only get the DIM clock reset.

Thanks - I thought any battery disconnect would rest everything. Good to know a short disconnect will just reset the service light. Since the week end is over, I won't have time to attack this again until next weekend, but Who knows - it may reset itself Much thanks to all who responded...
