How to Turn Off the Oil Light Flashing on an Iveco?

Turn off the ignition switch. Press and hold the trip meter reset button on the instrument cluster, then turn on the ignition switch without releasing the button. When the display shows 0000.0, release the button. At this point, the wrench indicator light on the instrument cluster, which signifies maintenance operation, should turn off.
I've also encountered the issue of the Iveco oil light flashing before, which usually indicates insufficient oil pressure. First, park the car on level ground, turn off the engine, and wait about ten minutes to let the oil settle. Then pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and pull it out again to check if the oil level is too low. If it's below the min line, add the appropriate type of engine oil, slowly filling it up to the middle mark. After topping up, start the car—the light might go off. If the oil level is normal but the light still flashes, it could be due to issues with the oil pump, sensor, or a clogged filter. In that case, head to a repair shop immediately to check the pressure system. I've handled similar situations myself, and regular oil changes can help prevent this hassle.
The oil light flashing is no small matter; it indicates the engine might not be properly lubricated, which could damage the machinery. You should immediately find a safe place to stop and turn off the engine. Open the hood and check the oil dipstick level—if it's low, add oil. If the light continues to flash even with sufficient oil, don't force the drive; call a tow truck or head straight to a repair shop. They have specialized tools to test oil pressure and inspect wiring. I recommend checking the oil condition every two to three months as a preventive measure.
