Either get an easy to use reset tool from Euro Car Parts or (about £15)... I generally use a fused (7.5A) wire and connect connectors 7 & 19 (see the diagram on the above link making sure you get the right ones) and turn the ignition to the ON position (don't seitch ignition on!!!) for 3 or 4 seconds for an Oil inspection or another 6 or 7 for an Inspection reset |
