7. Oil Reset
7.1 General Information
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change the engine
oil and filter based on vehicle use. An oil change is required
whenever indicated by the display and according to the
recommended maintenance schedule. Whenever the oil is changed,
reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil change is
required. If a situation occurs where the oil is changed prior to a
service indicator being turned on, also reset the system.
IMPORTANT: Always reset the engine oil life to 100% after
every oil change.
NOTE: All required work must be carried out before the service
indicators are reset. Failure to do so may result in incorrect
service values and cause DTCs to be stored by the relevant
control module.
NOTE: For some vehicles, the scan tool can perform added
functionality to reset additional service lights (maintenance cycle,
service interval). Take BMW as an example, its service reset
function includes engine oil, spark plugs, front/rear brakes,
coolant, particle filter, brake fluid, microfilter, vehicle inspection,
exhaust emission inspection and vehicle check.
All software screens shown in this manual are examples, actual test
screens may vary for each vehicle being tested. Observe the menu
titles and onscreen instructions to make correct option selections.
7.2 Reset Operation
