htra024 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2010 Hi, My friend done service for my E46 328 CI 2000 but I wonder how to reset the service kms on the dash when turn the car on. I follow the 2 methods below: 1: jump pin 7 and pin 19 on the 20 Data Link Connector for 3 seconds with key to position 2 but it did not reset the service clock. 2: push trip meter (left site of the cluster) and hold. Turn key to accessory (position 1) and wait for display to show either oil or inspection with kms on. Releasing the trip and press again. Hold until read "end". It did not work either. When I press the trip and turn key to position 1, it showed "test 1" for little while and then it did not show either oil or inspection with kms at all. Any ideas please? Thanks K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

htra024 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2010 I researched online and people said they have done it. Youtube also have tons of clips showing so. I wonder why I can not do it? Thanks K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cliffdunedin 8 Report post Posted August 7, 2010 I have read about it too, personally i would just buy a $50 reset box of TM then risk doing it wrong and damaging something! can't be that much to get an auto sparky to do it anyway, yeah? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
