Wrong in this case. If the OXS light and battery light come on simultaneously, it most likely has to do with the small spade conector on the back of the alternator. If it was only the mileage reminder, the light would be continuous and the battery light would not come on. And what do you mean by "reset the fuel injection"? If it's time to change the O2 sensor you simply replace it and reset the button on the speedo box.
