The following Service Light Reset Procedures are published here as described by technicians working on these cars. We have not tested these procedures and cannot accept any responsibility for damage/costs incurred resulting from their use.

WARNING: Resetting your service light is not a remedy for servicing your vehicle. Only perform these procedures after an oil change/vehicle service and obey your manufacturer's suggested service intervals.

Procedures are available for the following manufacturers/models:
