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):

  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.
