I've tried holding, 5 seconds, and more, but the DIC, does not respond at all. When key is on, the area for mileage and information, says "check tire pressure", pushing reset button, or any other one, on the panel, does nothing.

I also have this problem. My car will switch between "check tire pressue", "engine coolant low" and "change engine oil soon". Tire pressure is not low, engine coolant is not low and I just had oil changed 800 miles ago. Is there a way to reset the driver information center?

Getting erronious information on the gauges. Also gas gauge does not work. Needle on back side of peg.
Check engine fluid light on, but fluid is ok as well as temp. I've been told it might be some type of module that needs to be replaced.

Have you had the computer scanned for trouble codes? Most parts stores will do it for free. You can reset the gas gauge with a strong magnet. Just use it outside the plastic and " grab" it with the magnet and pull it back.

Let me know.
