Idk about any sensor by pass, but I know if you hold the trip reset for 15 seconds it resets the oil light, I think it blinks to confirm or something like that.

1hottcamaro street rep is low. keep going

To reset the "OIL CHANGE" light, press and hold the "TRIP/OIL RESET" button on the instrument panel for 12 seconds. When the light flashes and then goes out, the system is reset.
