Service Engine Soon Light

I read in the owners manual how to reset it.

After turning the key in position 2 and holding the "0" button for 10 sec the service miles come up.

Mine says; 4.3 on top and 030000 on the bottom. I can't change these numbers or reset the light. How do I do that?

You have to the screen where the the service is displayed- something like 'A Service due in 200 miles' or it will have a wrench (or two) displayed next to the mileage (negative mileage if you went past). I'm assuming you have a multifuntion steering wheel. If not let me know and I'll get you the other directions.
When you get in the car - turn to position 2, door must be shut! Get to where the odometer is displayed - from here 'up arrow' two times. Now hold the reset button on the cluster in, until it comes up and says reser servcive interval with r button (or something like that). Now release button and push and hold again until the new service display comes up (should go to 10000 miles).

Good luck

MB,

I don't have the steering wheel control. What is the other method to reset the light. Your help is appreciated.

You didn't ask me, but my '98 E430 didn't have the steering wheel controls either - that's one of the many reasons I bought my '01 E320.

I think your answer might be in your owner's manual. I never looked for that when I had my E430, but I did find those instructions in the E320 book.

Good luck,
M

Musikmann,

I used the manual, but I can't get it to reset. I even had someone try it, read it to while I do it. Who knows? I tried the manual method for like two hours, but no luck... Any other suggestions, anyone....?????

OK, I think you use the O button, but it might be the R- I don't really think about when I do it!! First turn the key on, and push the button to get the service indicator up , usually thats push twice. Keep holding the button, while you cycle the key on and off once, keep holding until the mileage goes back to 10000. Hope this helps.
