Disabling B Service Indicator

How can we do this? I don't need the B service yet, and the dealer wants to charge $60 to deactivate the indicator on dash. Any help is appreciated.

in the "secret" control menu...you can reset all service indicators. a lot of people seem to think you can't reset service B but as I just did it a few weeks ago myself, i promise that it can be done.

search the forum for the secret eng menu but for now, hold the "answer call" button and the right arrow button on the steering wheel down for a couple of seconds while the key is in the on position. from there navigate to "service"...reset interval...good luck.

May I assume the 'answer call' button is the one with green phone icon, or the rotating knob between the shift gear and middle compartment?

its the green (i think) button on the steering wheel. its the furthest most right button on the wheel...then press the right arrow button...located on the left hand side of the wheel. you need to press the answer call button 1/10th of a second before the right arrow button...hold both down for 2-3 seconds and the menu will appear on the dash.

NOTE: this is also how you select dyno mode..etc.

Be careful, This might void your warranty of the vehicle.
