What is resetting the indicator lights all about?

Since the dawn of the electronic age, cars have been fitted with service indicator lights. These are intended to remind the owner that the vehicle should have an oil change or inspection service. They should not be confused with the car’s diagnostic system, which checks for actual component or system malfunction. Most early indicators were simply time based, but many use an actual computer algorithm to analyze vehicle use based on the number of times it has been started, how often it has been run at wide open throttle, how high the revs have gone, and other operating parameters.

Sometimes, the light stays on even after the owner has had an oil change and an inspection, either because they are of the simple type, or because the light was not reset after the car’s service.

Some of these lights have to be reset by a diagnostic tool, but many can be reset manually. The procedure for this varies by make and model.

Keep in mind:

  • Simply resetting the indicator light does not take care of a car’s service requirements.
  • A service reminder light must not be confused with the vehicle’s onboard diagnostic (OBD) system.

Our recommendation:

If a service light comes on, request one of our mechanics to take a look at it for you and reset it if required.

What is a common symptom indicating you need to reset the indicator lights?

  • You’ve had a recent oil change or maintenance service, but the Service Required light remains illuminated.

How important is this service?

It’s advisable to have the indicator reset at the time of service so that its reminders are timed correctly, and oil changes and other routine services are carried out at the manufacturer-recommended intervals.

BMW 740i V8-4.4L - Starter - Beaverton, Oregon
Andrew came out last week and troubleshot my car in the garage and said it was the starter motor. I had suspected it was the starter motor but wasn't quite sure so it was good to get a verification. I have to admit, I was kinda skeptical about this home mechanic thing so I was taking a wait and see attitude until after he came back for the repairs. Both times, Andrew showed up early..which is fine by me. Today, when he came back, he went straight to work installing the new starter motor and changed the oil. Car fired right up so I was happy and I've started it a few more times and it is working well and I don't see any oil leaking. If there was a half star option, I'd deduct 1/2 star. Andrew needs to carry some oil rag buckets or something since he put a bunch of oily rags next to the sidewalk and I went out to clean them up (my dad saw them on his way out and text me and I said, it can't be the mechanic) and had to dig up some dirt since the rags were leaking oil. I'm not sure why he thought placing them on the ground was a good idea but oily rags on the ground is never good especially when it's raining. Overall, I'm happy with the repairs and the experience and will definitely consider using the service again especially since I'm working from home and don't get into my normal shop anymore.

BMW 740i V8-4.4L - Car shuts off when stepping on gas pedal Inspection - San Diego, California
Understood the vehicle and was professional the entire time he worked on it. He diagnosed the problem and helped identify other problem areas that were hurting the cars performance. My car runs exceptionally well now. Next time I'm stuck with a problem and need a mechanic who understands German cars I will call Chet. My car: 1998 BMW 740i 120,000 miles on it. The work done by Chet: chased and diagnosed an electrical problem that was messing up the air fuel ratio causing the car to not operate.
