Reset service clock
 
unhooking the battery should reset all service indicators. If that doesnt work there is a reset plugin on the passenger side in the engine compartment near the firewall. Unless you have the reset tool you have to go to a dealer or a service center which has it. Sorry to say they usually dont reset for free. They got to pay for the tool somehow<IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0">.

Reset service clock
 


howie, do NOT disconnect the battery to reset your FSS counter. You'll have to re-enter your radio codes and everything else. Here's the procedure:</P>


    After approx. 10 seconds a signal sounds, and the display shows 10 000 miles (Canada: 15 000 km) for approx. 10 seconds.

    </P>

      Jet, I have a 98 E320 and your instructions for resetting the display did not work for me. I don' t think this model year has FSS, but a simple mileage timer instead. Do you know if its possible to reset the counter without a computer tool, and if so how?

      Thanks in advance,

      Hope he's OK.

      It has a sensor, I believe. At least it did tell me once to add oil. WDBJF65F1WA545323
