Where is the reset button for Service Engine Soon light in a Chevy Lumina?

There is no reset button for the Service Engine Soon (SES) light in a Chevy Lumina (or any other car for that matter). The SES light is illuminated by the car's onboard diagnostic system (OBD) to indicate a problem that needs attention.

To turn off the light, you need to fix the underlying problem that triggered it. This might involve:

* Getting the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) read: A mechanic or auto parts store with an OBD-II scanner can read the code, which will pinpoint the issue.

* Repairing the problem: This could range from something simple like tightening a gas cap to more extensive repairs.

* Clearing the code (after repair): Once the problem is fixed, the mechanic or scanner can clear the code, and the SES light should turn off. Simply clearing the code without fixing the problem will only temporarily turn off the light, and it will likely come back on.

Trying to reset the light without addressing the issue is not recommended and could lead to further damage to your vehicle.
