If you only have one button...then always remember to add to your posts (when referring to your instrument cluster) that you have the low (or base) instrument cluster. That way...you won't get responses that will be giving you the wrong information due to people assuming that you have the high instrument cluster.

For example, all of the information I posted above about how to unlock the instrument cluster DOES NOT apply to your situation. I assumed that you had the high instrument cluster (which I mention just above the instructions on how to unlock the cluster).

Since the low cluster doesn't have the 20 digit alpha/numeric display for all the info mentioned in the cluster tests above....there are different instructions since there's only 1 button, and limited space in the display to convey the TEST's information. I'll have to do a little work to get the low cluster information posted...so check back later to the thread.

But back to the SI reset...I think you mentioned that you had turned the ignition to POSITION 2...which means you've probably figured out what went wrong in that situation (need to turn ignition to position 1).

Below is an example of the low (base) instrument cluster and the high instrument cluster. The low cluster only has 1 button (on the left side)...and uses a GRAPHIC DISPLAY to identify the check control system warnings. The high cluster has 2 buttons (left/right) and uses a 20 digit alpha/numeric display for the check control system warnings that appear in text form across the display:
