As per the owners manual on my 2002 Impala with an RDS radio, and I quote,

"Using the Accelerator Pedal
1. Turn the ignition to ON, with the engine off.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal three
times within five seconds.
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message flashes, the
system is reset. However, if it stays on, it did not reset.
You’ll need to repeat the reset procedure."

yeah in my manual for my loaded LS, it tells you how to do it thru the radio, but then it also says if you dont have the type of radio to do it, you can do it the other way. so maybe the pedal way works on any of them. I know many times on other cars ive tried doing pedal tricks for things and I always fucked it up and it took me forever to get it right and to take. so maybe when you tried it it just wasnt in the time frame or didnt press the pedal far enough to hold it there or whatever it may be, but it might have just not took when you tried it?

I would think that the pedal tricks would work on any impala becuase you have to have the pedals to drive your car, so evryone has pedals, so evryone can do those tricks. if that makes sense.

Funny my owners manual for my 2003 makes no such statement. The only way it refers to reseting the Oil Life Monitor is through the radio. And the gas pedal trick will not work on my car.
Thats why I'm relocating my factory head unit to the trunk.

it dont wrok on mine either and from what a friend says if your car has the radio the pedel funtion is disabled

Wrong...
I have two chevy's ('01, '02) with the OEM radio and the easiest way to do it is through the gas pedal...

I have a 2003 base with an RDS radio and I got curious as this thread progressed. Since my oil light was on anyway, I decided to try it. It does work on the 2003 imps with RDS.
