Turn the ignition key to position “ON” without starting the engine, If your Jeep Cherokee has push-button start, press the “Start” button twice without touching the brake pedal. Press accelerator pedal to the floor three times within five seconds. Turn the ignition Off.

Very easy to reset. 1.) get in the Jeep with the key. 2.) Do not step on the Brake pedal and then Press the Start Button twice. The engine should not start, it will go to 'RUN'. 3.) Press the gas pedal to the floor 3 times within 5 seconds. 4.) Hit the Start button again to turn off. 5.) start the engine normally and the light should be reset.

I have a 2013 Grand Cherokee and this procedure does not reset the light. The change oil message goes off for about 20 seconds and comes back. Tried resetting many many times with same result. Any ideas?

So, after trying 8000 different ways and everyone telling me I was doing it wrong. I found, on my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit EcoDiesel, you had to press the accelerator three times while the yellow "oil change required" warning was visible. 1) press ignition button twice to "run" do not start. 2) wait for the the yellow oil change warning to appear 3) press accelerator three times before the warning goes away. 4) oil life reset to 100% without pressing the ignition switch again to "off" Hopefully this works for others also ‍♂️

I have a 2015 EcoDiesel and this procedure still didn't clear the light. I found this procedure on DieselJeeps.com, but it didn't work either. 1. Cycle the ignition to the "ON/RUN" position (Do not start the engine). 2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it fully depressed for at least 30 seconds. 3. Press and release the brake pedal six times while holding the accelerator pedal pressed. 4. Perform one ignition OFF-ON cycle, start the engine and verify that the reminder has been reset. Repeat the process if the indicator does not reset.

This worked for my Grand Cherokee 2013 EcoDiesel (Europe) 1. Cycle the ignition to the "ON/RUN" position (Do not start the engine). 2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it fully depressed for at least 30 seconds. 3. Press and release the brake pedal six times while holding the accelerator pedal pressed. 4. Perform one ignition OFF-ON cycle, start the engine and verify that the reminder has been reset.
