FSS question
I know I've done this before and it worked (resetting FSS). Can someone look
at this and tell me what's wrong?
1) Switch ignition to #2 (run)
2) Press '0' twice (within a second)
3) Turn ignition back to #1 (just the key in position)
4) Press and hold '0' and turn key to #2 (run). Keep the '0' pressed for ten
seconds and release after the next service interval is displayed.
What I get at step four is:
2.8
49 10
That's what the display shows. I think the current mileage on the car is 40,910 or close to it. Anyhow, when I restart the car, the small and large
wrench is displayed with the number 0 in the display.
If I'm doing this right, yet not getting the correct results, can the FSS be
reset through a tool like the AutoEnginuity ScanTool?
Thx.

Flexible Service System - To me, it's more of an annoyance..... It's the gadget
that reminds you of servicing your Benz. I like doing my own work and prefer not
using it. Anyhow, I've tried to reset (from other posted msgs from other members) and not having any luck. I may try my Auto Enginuity Scan Tool on Saturday to see if it can clear it electronically.

Your procedure is correct.
Just reset mine yesterday ( after servicing the car ).
I don't believe a scantool, other than the dealer M-B tool, can reset the FSS.
Try doing the same procedure with the door closed.
I've heard this suggested in the past, but never bothered to verify this.

I think the door was closed but I will try another couple of times today.

Still won't reset.....
Tried it like five times and get the same results I posted at the top of this thread (with door closed). Now the FSS is showing a negative -100 flashing
with the two wrenches.

an oil can and a clock in the display. It vanishes when done and I get the
usual wrenches. I saw on ebay there's a device to plug into the OBD2 port
to reset the FSS. I'm going to connect my AutoEnginuity Scan/Diag and see
if I can clear that way. I'll post results if it works...

these. He recalls mine is different and is looking into the procedure. I can't
understand why it's different but it is. I'll make sure to share this information
once I get it working. Now it's a PITA. Every procedure I've seen talks about
the ending beep (which I don't get but do get the oil can and a clock/timer icon in the display).

Finally got it to work
The trick was completing the whole process within 2-3 seconds once the
wrenches are displayed (at least until you get the 10000 reset in the display). Before I was taking my time - aside from when I quickly depressed the "O" (twice). Glad it's done. Thanks for your help.
