Driver controls for the SYSTEM CHECK works with the ignition switch switched/turned to the ON position. Select this (SYSTEM CHECK) function from the SETUP menu to cycle the message center to (OIL LIFE) report. if it does not work that way, then: 1)Component is not receiving proper current amount, 2)Too Much resistance (ohms) or Voltage drop at Component Ground connections, 3)Component itself is malfunctioning, 4) electrical wiring to the component is faulty. Thanks.
