Does anyone know how to reset the maintenance service indicator in the GL? My local dealer charges waaaay too much for the A Service, and I'll be doing it myself or somewhere else next time.

Thanks.

This is from the W164 forum but it might work for the X164.

It works like a charm. Many thanks.

Thanks, Asian. I have been looking for this for a while. And, no thanks for getting me hooked on another forum

For some reason, Three Pointed Star will not let me register (something is broken on their side) for the forum and thus I cannot download the PDF document with the reset instructions...

Can someone on here send me a copy of the PDF or post it as an attachment on this forum?

Here you go. It takes a little experimentation to figure out how to reset the indicator, so I would recommend fiddling with it at the time when you do the service in order to avoid inadvertently resetting it between services.

Hey thanks a bunch! Seems pretty straight forward.

I tried to reset the service reminder but I couldn't get to the service menu. Nothing happens when I press tripometer three times. I tried it with door close, key in position 0, 1 & 2, COMAND on & off, hold the reset button... Has any 08 GL owner been able to reset the service indicator by yourself? Can't believe 08 & 07 would be different.

Help!

I actually got it to work... It is not really very intuitive though... Basically it was giving me the Service B in XXXXX miles message and I was able to reset it to 10000 following the instructions in the post above...

I have the keyless go system, but I took out the button and actually used the key instead... I don't know if that helps.

The one thing that ticked me off though is that right after I changed the oil and performed Service B myself, we took it to the dealer for a few warranty/recall items. My wife told them that I did the service myself, and when I went to pick it up, they had a 40 dollar charge on by bill for "resetting service indicator" I told them that I had already done that and they asked where I could have gotten access to the expensive computer needed to do it...

I said, nope, just a Contra Code from the internets... In the end, even though I argued my case, they still wanted me to pay the charge. I paid it, because it was more of a hassle to have to continue to argue than to pay the 40 and be done with it... But it still aggravates me that I had to pay it...

Can an 08 owner try pressing odometer reset button 3 times and see if anything happens? I know my reset button works because I can reset the trip meter, but just couldn't get to the tone and voltage display per the instruction...


They did what? I wonder if they would do anything if your wife didn't mention it...

It wasn't "to spec" if the indicator wasn't reset!
