Accepted Answer

Hello, my name is XXX. XXXXXXX to Just Answer.

 

Find the diagnostic connector under the hood.

Grounding pin seven (7) for ~3 seconds applied to an oil service reset and that ~9 seconds applied to the inspection service reset.

Do you not see a connector like the one in the picture? It may be covered by a red or black plastic cap.

Answer

No, just get a small piece of wire and put 1 end in pin 7 and the other end to an electrical ground, any exposed metal like an engine bolt.
