  4. NOTE: If the PCM or Instrument Cluster (IC) is replaced (or both), the parameters must be reset in both modules or the vehicle will experience a Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) no-start.

If this occurs, and the oil life cannot be determined through service history or customer interview, it is recommended the vehicle engine oil and filter be changed and the oil change minder reset.
