Service spanner reset

[Dan]

Within that last 200 miles my service spanner is staying on, i know with 99.9% of french cars it is just a case of holding the trip reset button, turning the ignition on, waiting 10 then it resets, on mine however if i do this when i switch the ignition on it flashes 10 up very quickly then resets the trip counter, have i got to wait until the milage gets to 0 before i can reset it or is there a problem ?????

Should just count down bud, once it's counted down then it'll come up with the next interval.

Im glad this has come up. Need to reset mine after I service it next week and was going to ask

im confused... is that a shadow then?

[Dan]

Yea it was my finger it was dark and i couldn't find the button pmsl

[Moonstone2.0]

the way i do it, is key in but with no turn, press for 10 seconds and hold when turn the key 2 clicks and another 10 seconds.

[Dan]

nope still exactly the same :S

You need to see the countdown

Do it like this:

Switch the IGN OFF... Press and hold that button IN... Then while holding - switch the Ign ON..

Keep the button pressed for 10 seconds... until the display reads "=0" - then the spanner will go out ... thats the job done.

[Dan]

yea thats what i done in the video but it hard to see in the vid but just before the display set to zero it flashed up 10 very quickly

Maybe there's a connection problem then, doing that's always worked with mine.

[stevieg]

try taking the clocks apart until you can get the button out then clean both the board and silicone button pad with some rubbing alcohol

[Jacko]

I've always wondered how to do this! Thankyou muchly!

[Dan]

yea the thing is the button is working as it does reset the trip counter

[stevieg]

it could be making a quick connection so the counter still resets. do you have to push it hard before i resets the trip counter

[declantg]

did this to mine the other week, f*ck it hurt my fingers though

[ash23]

mine did the exact same thing (wouldnt reset the service spanner) after disconecting the battery over night it sorted that out along with a few other things
