Resetting the service message

[Jaggx]

Hi all i have just had a service on my 2009 xtype 2.2 the garage guys are usually great but even they are stumped how do you reset the service required message that comes up on start up 

[Jaggx]

Ok Just found this from an older forum, so if anyone else needs it here you are!  thanks Joe will go and try it 

[Old Peter]

Yes, this is the way to delete the service message.

The other way is to put up with it until the week after the car first went on the road,

My s type went of the production line on the 13th March 2007 and was sold on the 31st March 2007.

The message was coming a the beginning of March and goes on the second week in April.

Thanks Peter but unfortunately this fix didn't work any suggestions appreciated

well see

so so so annoying

[Amanda & Peter]

It definitely works. I did it last week. Took me 10 attempts, as you have to go really quickly. Also, instead of 10 seconds, I held it for 60.

OK i've tried it my! My mechanic has tried it! and its so frustrating, so I guess from the previous comment ill keep trying then. Thank for the reply Amanda & Peter

 will let you know how many attempts or you may not hear from me at all as ill still be in the car!

Cheers

Believe it or not this has just happened to me!

My plan to get rid of it is "I can't be bothered". I did have a  full service three weeks ago, so it is lying.

thats all well and good Peter but i like things to work properly so when it comes on again i know it needs a service

I think you should try this fix if not just to see if it works for you

I have used this fix about 5 times and it always works.  But when the car has just had a service I think that the system is getting things wrong.  I won't be driving much in the next few days due to a damaged left hand which is now in a splint, but my mechanic is fitting a new wing mirror on the 26th and he will use his scanner to rub it out.

now! you see that is interesting Peter and hope the hand heals ok for you.

My mechanic couldn't rub it out for some reason the scanner couldn't see it to rub it out.

Ill keep trying anyway and ill let you all know if there is something else going on here

 

Cheers
