Can I reset the service light with OBDeleven?

Written by Edvinas

You can reset service lights with OBDeleven in most supported vehicles.

You need:

• OBDeleven device
• OBDeleven mobile app
• Internet connection

Depending on your vehicle, service reset may require:
• One-Click App (uses Credits)


OR


• Manual coding (requires PRO plan)

⚠ Check your vehicle’s available apps before proceeding.

METHOD 1 – Using One-Click App (Easiest way):

Go to OBDeleven app

  1. Plug the device into the OBD2 port

  2. Turn ignition ON

  3. Connect to your vehicle

  4. Go to: Vehicle → Apps

  5. Search for "Inspection Service Reset"

  6. Select "Reset" and apply it

    Done

⚠ Only “Inspection Service Reset” resets the light.
Apps like “Inspection Service Interval” or "Inspection Service Distance" do NOT reset the warning.

​METHOD 2 – Manual reset (PRO plan required):
​

  1. Plug the device into the OBD2 port

  2. Turn ignition ON

  3. Connect to your vehicle

  4. Go to:
    Control Units → Dashboard (17)

  5. Choose: Adaptations

  6. Depending on your vehicle, look for adaptation channels like:
    • Time since last inspection
    • Distance covered since last inspection
    • Maintenance reset

  7. Set the value to 0 and save.

    ⚠ Some vehicles require multiple adaptations in Control Unit 17 (Dashboard).

Service reset does not work?

Check:

• Ignition is ON (engine does not need to run).
• You selected the correct One-Click App: “Inspection Service Reset” (not “Inspection Service Interval” or “Inspection Service Distance”).
• If using manual coding (PRO plan), make sure you reset the correct adaptation channels in Control Unit 17 (Dashboard).
• Make sure the warning on your dashboard is the Inspection Service light, not the Oil service reminder — these are different resets.
