This Thread is about HHR Engine Problems and rocker panel damage has nothing to do about this subject. There are other threads that deal with this.

the post I have been responding to have been answers from my original post to this forum concerning rocker panel damage to my car and also a response to a question about replacing the air filter. you are correct, it has nothing to do with engine issues but then, I have not been replying to a post about engine problems.
If my message got posted in the wrong place, I apologize.

I will move this post to the main HHR forum so it can be a general area where a variety of replies can be submitted.

Resetting the oil percent gauge by rsanchez1

I bought a HHR/SS and love it very much. I have four thousand miles on it and had my oil change. I can't reset the oil percent gauge. Can some one tell how? I thought it was turning the ignition slightly and depressing the gas pedal three times...nope didn't work.

Doesn't it reset like the other readouts do by pushing the bottom button on the left side steering wheel after putting it in the oil life display?

Oil Life reset:
 
-turn ignition to ON possition (NOT Accessory or Start the manual has a diagram), its the postition where the instrument cluster lights up with all the Symbols, just before starting. Leave all these indcator lights on while reseting.
 
-Go to INFO button (on steering wheel)
 
-scroll to OIL LIFE
 
-pump gas pedal 3 times
 
-Some will beep or just reset.
 
-turn ignition off, start the H, and check if reset. Should read 100%
 
Shounds like you were on the right track.

Yes, re read your post, rethink it and post again as it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Are you saying 70miles per gal. as you posted or 70 miles per hour. Big difference. Also sure you don't mean 20 miles per hour as I have never seen a tach that can read 20rpm.

The reduced power alert means something is wrong and vehicle goes into slow mode to prevent engine damage. It will have to be scanned to figure out where the problem is. One thing it could be is a problem with wiring getting frayed and shorting if your 06' was built before feb of 06. Could be something else also of course.
