[AT] OT- Late model chevy truck question

[Mike Sloane]

I was told that the computer needs to see a certain number of normal 
driving "cycles" before the light will re-set. That number is different 
for different vehicles, but it will eventually go out on its own. I had 
the same thing happen to my Subaru, and it took about a week of daily 
commutes for it to go out.
