Technical Service Due Indicator (reset)

Re: Can i resest the "Serviice Due" notice

I agree with Steely - if the car came in with issues, and it was obvious that neglect (for example) required it to need a service, then the existing need for a service should deter a light reset.

When we bought our Stilo (12 months old), the service reminder was still on - it had been serviced with FIAT parts at a FIAT dealer, but the light not reset. Would that put me off? Hardly. If I were buying a used car that had had the service interval reset but no history, would that put me off? Yes, as I'd assumed (as XR states), that in some way, the seller got the light reset.

But T's point stands - we've always bought newish (18 months) or new cars through the FIAT network, so this has never been a problem . My objection is that, if I were to service my 7yr old Bravo in the future by a non-approved FIAT dealer, why should I have to prove and justify my decision to get the light reset?

I suppose it's down to personal opinion on whether this function is used as an electronic service history (as the clusters do keep a record of services), or whether it is used as a reminder function only, kind of like an alarm.

Get it serviced if it hasnt been and get the garage to clear the message?

It has been annoying me for ages too. Fiat Dealer only to reset it, using Examiner.

No, go to fiat and pay about £20-30 is the only way.

Argo used nation wide services for his last service and they had to get it done as they couldn't do it either.. it can be done by an independent if he has the compatible software..

Bit dodgy though Phil.

Service manager at NW told me they'd heard too many horror stories of having to replace body computer/dash unit after mucking about with so called compatible software so they weren't prepared to risk it.

In my view Examiner is the only safe way.

i have sold my Stilo reset formula to somebody who wants to develop a service reset device for the Stilo so maybe there will be a DIY solution in the near future?
Of course the "formula" for the service reset is still for sale for those who want to do this using a CAN-interface....
It's not that complicated....

There is a way (to turn it off for good) and it is documented here on the forum.....go find it yourself though

Im told that Bosch service agents can do the reset , and wont charge very much .

This solution has to be performed using an Examiner tester:

choose the "change instrument cluster" option;
write values of cluster but add 1 km / mile to the total odometer;
change value of "service" to zero (there are max. 9 electronic service coupons)
follow the Examiner procedure but without changing the cluster;
now you will never see any "service due" messages again.........

good luck - i tried it and it works !

(p.s. it cost me a lot of time and money to find out the service reset code that's why i want some money for it - if people buy it as a group and publish it i don't care, just want to earn back some of my investments...)

Re: service due

As far as I am aware it can only be done through Examiner which means 45ish quid at a Fiat Main Dealer
