It should - key was on and you pressed and HELD it down for a few seconds? You can also do it by turning the key on, don't start car and fully depress the gas pedal 3 or 4 times. Won't flash but should be off on your next start.

not to hijack the thread or anything, but what do you do to keep it off? it always comes on when i turn on the car and stays on for about 15 mins.

Even after resetting it? Just reset it with the pedal method or trip/oil reset button. Mines only come on a couple times, not for 15 min though...last time it stayed on after startup went off before I got out of a parking lot. Reset it when I got home.

Bringing this back to the top because I have the same problem. I've hit the Trip/Oil reset button so many times....held it in for 30 seconds or more (suppose to be only 12) and it wont go out

Key in the RUN (don't start car) position first? Or try key in RUN (don't start car) and depress the gas pedal fully 3 or 4 times.
