Reseting the service light on my 156 gta

Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone can help me,I have a 156 gta 2002 and would like to know if there is a way to reset the service light on the centre dash board mine has come up and say service needed in 23 days.i had it serviced in nov last year but they must have forgot to reset the dam thing i had it serviced in london veloces and i live in norfolk.
Many thanks,
Aharkel!!!

someone told me to do this but it made no difference on mine.

To reset the service warning indicator in facelift 156's:

Set the units to km on the infocentre
Scroll down to "Service"
Press the + and - buttons at the same time whilst turning on the lights

This should reset it to 20000km and 1 year

Thanks for that,i will give it a go

If your counter is in miles, then you dont need to set it to kms. Also, you dont need to turn on the lights, simply hold down the + and - buttons together. Pablo, how long did you hold them, I think you need to hold them for at least 10 seconds.

ah ok Ill give it another go today thanks

just tried it:

used info to scroll to service.
entered the service bit, said it had expired.
help the + and - together for what seemed an eternity (about 15s in reality)
reset itself to 12000 miles ish

result Cheers to PR for the tip

No worries. I watched my (now ex) dealership do this, cos they'd forgotten to reset it after a service so I went back in and told them. The manager came out and did it infront of me!

Top Tipsters of the week. Great stuff chaps.

Thanks also guys,
Aharkel!!!!!!!!

Just tried this method on my 2003 156 2.0JTS and it works fine. My previously 'Expired' Service period is now reset to 12,424 miles (which will be 94,000m ??) Thanks.

Does anyone know if this should be applicable on all GTA's. Mine is '02 and I've had no success....

Yes it should work.. Providing its a 156 and a GTA. Hold the buttons down longer.

Doesn't work for me. I've held the buttons down for minutes and no success. But I'm not bothered - I can monitor when it needs a service myself. It's not hard.

Cheers,

Strange. Maybe they changed the setup on the later cars.

A lemon? I hardly think so - lemons don't get selected for the "special display" at SAD Must be something to do with the fact it hasn't been near a stealer for two years.....
