You press it I think 5 times. You hear a chime or something if I remember right. I had to do it several times before it worked.

According to Answers.com...
"Try turn the ignition key to "on" postion without starting engine and depress accelerator to the floor 6 times"

Hahaha...that is bizarre.
Although I think my old Subaru has the winner for most difficult to accomplish. To completely turn the door chime off, you had to put the key in, turn to "on", then insert the driver's seat belt and release it 25 times...it was ridiculous. And it usually took three or four tries....so you'd look really freakin' silly in the process.

I have a 2000 nbs tahoe and here's how I do it- actually these are the instructions that came with my truck. Usually my 'change oil' light goes off after I get my oil changed.
-turn ignition on but do not start
-fully depress and release accelerator pedal 3 times WITHIN 5 SECONDS
-if oil change lamp flashes for 5 seconds, this indicates system has been reset
-start engine, oil life should reset to 100%
-repeat if necessary

I know you did it already, but all you have to do is hold down the arrow button on the steering wheel for like 7 seconds. None of that pedal nonsense.

I don't believe 01's had the arrow button on the steering wheel 
I know that my 02 Sierra required the same steps as above due to no arrow button like they have now.
