Technical Clear "Service Due" and update Oil condition doodah.

[Ralf S.]

Heighway (2022 1.0ltr) is 3 years old...

I might still have one more service in the service plan I bought.. can't remember and the garage hasn't contacted me, like they did the last couple of years... but, if I'm out of free services I'm going to have to do it myself. Should be no bother apart from it needs a bit of money..

Assuming I can do the oil, filters and other items in the book, which should be fairly routine at 25k miles... is there someone local to Newport who has the paraphernalia to clear my service due and oil condition? It's a 2022 so it has the additional gateway.

I used to have the Fiat Multiscan free version but it went AWOL when my PC died and I doubt I have the bypass cable that I've seen mentioned.. Until I sort out kit for next time, I need a "mates' rates" re-set to keep me going.

Hello,

Check the MES register

If yours works the same as my 2016 then the oil reminder can be solved by the following (supposedly official) guidance:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (don't start the car).
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly, three times within 10 seconds..
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

There's supposed to be a similar way for the Service message but I've never tried it, mine went out on its own:

"Resetting the service warning light on the Fiat 500X is very simple, with the ignition on and the engine off, hold down the accelerator completely and press the brake 7 times. After the seventh time, you must continue to hold the accelerator down for 30 seconds, then turn off the ignition and wait another 30 seconds. A subsequent ignition of the panel will be able to confirm the positive outcome of the procedure"
