Service warning message - 2001 Nissan Almera Tino

Hi. Sorry but you have been misinformed. The "Service Due" message and the "Spanner Light". Are two related warnings that service is due. They will not go away until the needed service is performed. Upon completion, the dealership or repair facility will reset the warning system until the next service is due. The Spanner light is a reminder that service is needed now. If you ignore the warning service goes more over due, resulting in engine damage. There is another light called an Engine Warning Light. This lamp is an amber symbol of an engine. It is this light that may go out on its own if the ECU detects no failure.

Check your engine oil using the oil dipstick located on the engine - you need to add oil to the fill line as shown on the dipstick. You should have the oil replaced regularly (every 3-6 months) and keep your eye on the level if the engine is leaking oil underneath or burning a lot of it.

Warning Messages The warning messages can interrupt the display until cleared or reset by the driver. The warning messages are either single cycle, non-resettable, or repetitive warning messages.
The single cycle warning messages display once whenever the ignition switch is turned to the ON position or a fault occurs in a system, and can be cleared by pressing the RESET button. The single cycle warning messages are:

• liftgate ajar
• liftgate glass ajar
• service emission system
• low brake fluid
• service brake system
• check left headlamp
• check right headlamp
• check left turn lamps
• check right turn lamps
• check left high beam
• check right high beam
• check brake lamps
• check parking lamps
• washer fluid low
• check fuel cap
• change oil soon
• change oil now
• low fuel
• service 4x4
• turn signal on

The code was stored in the history part of the ECM. Don't ignore this. Usually when you can turn the key off and the light goes away. It is a transmission problem. Could be a simple transmission service. Could be more..

This may very well be akin to what BMW did, where the car recognises when the service is due and has a series of lights as a countdown to remind the driver. If you ignore the service due warning, the ECU (electronic control unit) will display such lights as you have described and make it difficult to drive. With BMW the ECU shuts down completely. You may get around the problem by using a reputable mechanic, rather than the dealership; good luck.

Before to worried so much, I Suggest scannedt the computer car, in order to know what fault code is stored there, this warning lights means that some code is there.

Hope this helps.

I think the following will work:

1 . Insert key into ignition barrel.
2 . Press and hold the Reset switch (located on the Trip Computer Switchpack).
3 . NOTE: The reset switch has to be released immediately after the ignition is switched 'ON'. This is critical to enable the rest of the procedure.
Turn the key to Ignition position II and at the point of entering Ignition position II (i.e when a click is heard), instantaneously release the Reset switch.
4 . Wait one second.
5 . Press and hold the Trip switch (located on the end of the left-hand side stalk).
6 . Wait one second.
7 . Press and hold the Reset switch (whilst still holding the Trip switch).
8 . The cluster should display (within three seconds) the warning message 'RESETTING SERVICE MODE'.
9 . Keep both buttons pressed until the warning message changes to 'SERVICE MODE RESET' (after ten seconds).
10 . Once the message is displayed the buttons may be released â€" sequence is now complete.
11 . If a Service Required message was displayed prior to the reset sequence, cycle the ignition to 'Off' and then back to Ignition position II and check that the message is no longer displayed.

COMPUTER MIGHT HAVE PICKED UP LOW LININGS ON BRAKE PADS.WHICH COULD SEND MORE SIGNALS OF EMERGENCY

WHAT HAPPENED IS WHEN YOU SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED YOU (RESET THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT COMPUTER) AND THE SERVICE LIGHT SHOULD GO OUT AFTER 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING

I have a 2000 polo with the following service alarm SERVICE OIL The oil has been topped up but the service message still remains
