Service
The Service application is specially designed to provide quick access to the vehicle
systems for various scheduled service and maintenance tasks. The typical service
operation screen is a series of menu-driven commands. Follow the on-screen
instructions to select appropriate options, enter values or data, and perform necessary
actions. The application will display detailed instructions to complete selected service
operations.
After entering a special function, the screen will display two options: Diagnosis and Hot
Functions. Diagnosis enables the reading and clearing of codes, which is sometimes
necessary after completing certain special functions. Hot Functions consists of sub
functions of the selected special function.
The most commonly used services are described in this chapter.
5.1 Oil Reset Service
Perform reset for the Engine Oil Life system, which calculates an optimal oil life change
interval depending on the vehicle driving conditions and climate. The Oil Life Reminder
must be reset each time the oil is changed so that the system can calculate when the
next oil change is required.
IMPORTANT
Always reset the engine oil life to 100% after every oil change.
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.
For some vehicles, the tool can reset additional service lights such as maintenance
cycle and service interval. On BMW vehicles for example, service resets include
engine oil, spark plugs, front/rear brakes, coolant, particle filter, brake fluid, micro
filter, vehicle inspection, exhaust emissions inspection and vehicle checks.
5.2 Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Service
This function has a multitude of usages to maintain the electronic braking system
including deactivating and activating the brake control system, assisting with brake fluid
control, opening and closing brake pads, and calibrating brakes after disc or pad
replacement.
