Autel MaxiCheck Oil Light/Service Reset [54/63] Oil reset

7. Oil Reset

7.1 General Information

The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change the engine

oil and filter based on vehicle use. An oil change is required

whenever indicated by the display and according to the

recommended maintenance schedule. Whenever the oil is

changed, reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil

change is required. If a situation occurs where the oil is changed

prior to a service indicator being turned on, also reset the

system.

IMPORTANT: Always reset the engine oil life to 100% after

every oil change.

NOTE: All required work must be carried out before the

service indicators are reset. Failure to do so may result in

incorrect service values and cause DTCs to be stored by the

relevant control module.

NOTE: For some vehicles, the scan tool can perform added

functionality to reset additional service lights (maintenance

cycle, service interval). Taking BMW as an example, its

service reset function includes engine oil, spark plugs,

front/rear brakes, coolant, particle filter, brake fluid,

microfilter, vehicle inspection, exhaust emission inspection

and vehicle check.

All software screens shown in this manual are examples, actual test

screens may vary for each vehicle being tested. Observe the menu

titles and onscreen instructions to make correct option selections.

7.2 Reset Operation

1. Turn the ignition on but do not start the engine.

2. Turn on the scan tool and wait for the Main Screen to appear.
