2011 D4 - reset "service required" message

[Lukeis]

Perhaps my search skills aren't up to the test but I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere?

I serviced the whole car on the weekend and now want this message gone, does anyone know how?

Use an IID Tool or similar to clear it, or take it to British and Swedish at Narrabeen and ask them to clear it.

As far as I know you need to connect to the OBD port to clear the message there are no other ways.

You could try this but I'm not guaranteeing it..

To turn off the Oil Service Light on Land Rover LR4, conform to the following instructions:

Turn the ignition on
Open the bonnet
Open the drivers door
With push-button start, press and hold the ? Start? for two seconds without touching the brake pedal.
Next, simultaneously press the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal and hold for a minimum of 10 seconds, until a ?SERVICE RESETTING.? message shows on the instrument cluster display.
Turn the ignition off and back on
If the message is not cleared, repeat the process

From another site - untested but won't hurt to try

Anyone with an IID Tool BT should be able to reset it for you, as it does not fall under VIN locked functions

I've used this , it actually works!

[Lukeis]

Just so I can be sure I'm understanding correctly as it hasn't worked so far..

What do you mean by turn the ignition on? Is that not the same as pushing the start button without the brake pedal?

I tried from inside the car

Lean over, pop the bonnet
Then open drivers door
Then press start button (no brake pedal)
Then depress brake and accelerator for 10 seconds (or more)

But no luck, did I misunderstand something?

Just buy a resetting tool from Blackbox Solutions in Cyprus.

I tried from inside the car

Lean over, pop the bonnet

Then press start button (no brake pedal)You didn't follow the sequence suggested - didn't turn the ignition on first.

It doesn't work on my L322 though as pressing the button for any length of time turns the ign back off.

[Lukeis]

That's why I asked what turn on the ignition means, I confused how that is different to pressing the start button without the brake?

In case it helps anyone I think Lukeis is asking whether "Turn ignition on" means:

i) Depress brake pedal, press the start button, have the engine running
or
ii) Leave pedals alone, press the start button, engine is not running (but all the other stuff is)

[kenl]

Turn ignition on FIRST not third is the way I read it..

Ignition on is dash lights on and engine not running I would of thought.

[Lukeis]

The fact it was listed twice and written two different ways made me think it was a different step.

Regardless, I appreciate everyone's input but I have tried both ways with no luck.

I'll take it to landrover and get them to clear it but surely there is a way to do
It yourself, when these cars are 20years old everyone will home service them and no one is going to want that message constantly on their dash!

Using an IID Tool/nanocom etc, you can change the CCF so that it no longer appears, therefore no longer needs resetting

[LRD414]

Luke, whoever edited your CCF for the headlight upgrade would be able to reset the service reminder.

[Lukeis]

Yep i appreciate that was always an option but I was just hoping for a home solution as they would charge me for it plus it is a little inconvenient for both parties for such a simple task.

I called Land Rover a moment ago and it sounds like they will do it free of charge this time but I'm still convinced there is a way as it seems strange they would give this ability to only some D4's but not mine.

Anyway we can end the thread here but if I find a way I'll make sure to post it up!

[LRD414]

Reminds me of another thing that randomly doesn't work on mine.
It's called Follow Me Home Rear Lights

Holding down a fob button will turn on the headlights and another press will turn on the reverse lights if FMHRL is enabled.
The headlight one works but the reverse doesn't, just turns off the headlights.

Would be quite handy if wanting some light behind the vehicle.
Doesn't work for mine and apparently not for MY15 either.
It is enabled in the CCF so it's not that.

Anyway, maybe this service reset thing disappeared with the push button starter.

Scott, There is a CCF option to use reverse lights with FMH function

As I said get the special tool - will cost about the same as the dealer resetting your display (they might do it for free but most will charge you an hours labour or at least their min labour charge)

[LRD414]

I'll look into that.

My solution too!

Old thread but thought it might be useful to post this info I just came across:
