- Here is a good page with a diagram and the steps to do it without the tool. Bear in mind, this is NOT a proper technique and i stand by my first solution.

- It IS for resetting the service indicator light. ECU codes are cleared in a completely different fashion. i found a blog with this technique. Does it sound familiar?
>SIA, SERVICE INTERVAL DISPLAY, RESETTING THE SIA IS POSSIBLE ONLY AFTER 20% OF THE EXPECTED FUEL? USAGE HAS BEEN CONSUMED FOLLOWING THE PREVIOUS RESET.

>TURN IGNITION TO POSTION 0 (STEERING LOCKED).

>PRESS AND HOLD RESET, THEN TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO POSTION 1 (STEERING UNLOCKED) WITHIN 5 SECONDS DISPLAY SHOWS CURRENT SIA STATUS (OIL SERVICE OR INSPECTION)

>RELEASE TRIP RESET BUTTON

>PRESS AND HOLD TRIP RESET BUTTON FOR 5 SECONDS TO CHANFE TO RESET MODE. DISPLAY FLASHED RST

>PRESS RESET BUTTON AGAIN. CURRENT SERVICE REQUIREMENT IS RESET AND DISPLAY SHOWS NEW STATUS FOR 5 SECONDS



>THATS IT!

>It took me a few attemps to get it down but it works like a champ for me.
