A rocker arm comprises an actuator piston slidably disposed in an actuator piston bore formed in a motion imparting end thereof. A lash adjustment assembly is disposed in the motion imparting end and comprises an internal bore. A hydraulic passage is in fluid communication with the actuator piston bore and the internal bore. A resetting assembly is disposed in the lash adjustment assembly and comprises a reset slider and a checking element in fluid communication with the internal bore. The reset slider is slidably disposed in the internal bore and has a first end configured to engage a valve train component or engine valve, and has a second end with a resetting pin disposed thereon configured to contact and place the checking element in an unchecked state in response to positioning of the rocker arm when the first end contacts the valve train component or engine valve.
