You can reset the service lights without a tool. I've done it myself on my 2002 525i Iginition OFF (POS 0) with key in. - Press and Hold the trip odometer button while turning key to position 1 (ACCESSORY) - Keep the button depressed (about 5 secs.) until you see "Oil Service" or "Inspection" with "Reset" or "Re" in the display - *Note: On vehicles with "High" cluster, you will also see the amount of fuel (in litres) remaining until next service - Press the button again and hold for approx. 5 secs. until "Reset" or "Re" flashes - While the display is flashing, briefly press the button again to reset the Service Interval. After the display has shown the new interval you should see "END SIA" for about 2 secs. You're welcome =]

What a great video! Thanks for the info I'll have a play, I've just bought a 3.0i e39 and was wondering about any tricks :)

How do you lock the display to show outside temp?

In response to upthevolume2007 comment . All is correct, but on my manual 530 I have to keep the clutch pedal pressed all the way down to the floor as you go through the process to reset the service lights . I can only assume that's the same for all manual models . It's certainly the case for my car .

I'm intereseted on number 15, what is it for? when I enter on that menu it shows like 00100 00 but when i click once that is changed to like 10100 001. It has two or three different readings.

Brilliant video. Does this apply to the E46 3 series aswell?

you do not need a toll, find socket 19 on you diag socket, in engine bay, make sure 19 is earth, test by putting a continuity metre between that socket and the chassis, then get a piece of snug fitting wire and jump 19 and 7 easy thanks for this info tho

Hello there, Million thanks for such informative video. Really appreciated. Well i believe there is some hidden menu walkthrough which unlocks the TV while running the vehicle. Do you please check and let us know. I have e38 2001. Similar to e39 Waiting for your valuable reply Many Thanks and kind regards Aqeel

What happens when you go to test 1.3? Is it a functional test?

Great video...very clear. I assume when you restart the ignition everything is back as it was before the tests? Do you know if the OBC takes engine temp from the same sensors as those which inform the dials ie the coolant temp sensor?

@E39Source

Yes, it will be normal after one start cycle. And it does reference those same sensors that feed the dials.

Hello. I have a bmw 530d 2001 model and some of the test options don't work, such as test 7, it's as if it's not registered. I presume you know a lot about this. Do you know how this can be fixed? Thanks in advance

+shahj101 Did you unlock your cluster? Do you have High or Low OBC (one button on the cluster or two)?

Hey, I have a E39 and on the cluster whenever I start my car up and it's running the battery light stays on. Any ideas why this is? the battery is good and the alternator works... can this be reset or turned off somehow?

You can try a cluster reset in the OBC. But usually that means a failing battery or alternator.

hmmm.. Thanks a lot! I will try it... and I'll definitely look into it.. the battery might be older.. but it still not that old. Thanks I'll try and see what the problem is.

You can reset the oil service indicator lights from the round diagnostic plug in the engine bay. www.bmwtips.com/tipsntricks/reset-plug/reset.htm

On my 1998 530D I can't go past test 1 so I assume the rest of the menu is for newer versions is it correct?

Yes I enter the first test and go through from 1.1 to 1.7 if I keep it pressed after the test 1 it exits the test menu and goes back to the normal menu

I don't personally own a low OBC car... but I think you bring that stat up on the menu, and then press and hold the OBC button on the turn signal stock until it resets.
