Default Resetting DBL Wrench service symbol

Is this something I can do or does the dealer have to reset it? I did the single wrench service symbol when I did the oil change.

Thanks

This will also reset the double wrench symbol

RESETTING THE FSS MAINTENANCE INDICATOR AFTER AN OIL CHANGE

1 Move the ignition switch to the “RUN” position

2 Within 4 seconds of moving the ignition switch into the
“RUN” position, press the reset button for the trip odometer
twice within one second The display for the FSS service
request is activated for 10 seconds

3 During the 10 seconds the FSS service request is displayed,
move the ignition switch to the “OFF” position
The FSS service request will continue to be displayed

4 Press the reset button for the trip odometer and
hold

5 Move the ignition switch to the “RUN” position

6 Continue to press and hold the reset button for the trip
odometer (about 10 seconds) until the audible signal
sounds and the new start distance appears in the display
The tool symbol should disappear at this time

But once the FSS displays the overdue icon (double wrench followed by a minus sign & days), can it still be reset? I've tried several times today after changing the oil and the procedure Gary shows from the Owners Manual doesn't work. Owners Manual sort of implies if you wait past the due date/mileage, a dealer is required to reset the FSS.

Say it ain't so!

Not true, it will work anytime you do the proceedure properly. I didn't reset at one oil change and ended up going way over before the next. Reset at the next time and all was fine.

FSS finally reset. Really a matter of technique when double pressing the **** the first time with the key in the RUN/ENGINE OFF position. I'd say it needs to be done in 2-3 seconds, instead of the 1 second stated in the procedure. Once I 'slowed down' the double press, it reset without any hiccups.

Incidently, the double wrench does not mean the service is overdue, but that the car is due for a major service ie 'B' service, if I'm not mistaken

In my case, the "double wrench", which I agree is for the "B" service items, was followed by a "minus sign" and the number "42". I think I remember seeing in the Owners Manual that when the "minus sign" appears, the FSS is letting you know how many days OVERDUE the service is. Shame on me!!!

Another interesting thing to remember when resetting the FSS. If it doesn't acknowledge that you are attempting to reset the system (the double press step), and you are still holding the **** in during the final step in the process when it jumps out of the system, the trip ODO could reset if you don't release the **** quick enough. Mine did yesterday during a failed FSS reset.

Yup the FSS will report that the service is overdue, with a minus sign, and a figure, whether it is the single, or double wrench. I've had the single wrench, and minus sign a few times, but not the double wrench yet, although from what I've read, the 'B' service is mainly checking things ...........can't wait

What if you just ignore resetting it? Any problems with that, as long as the maintenance is done?

No not really a problem, but it just keeps reminding you every time you turn the key on which gets annoying

This is more frustrating than replacing the motor mounts. I swear I am doing it correct. I have changed the oil 3 times since I get her over a year ago and have failed at this twice without resetting it. The other time was just lucky?

As in the post above, slow down your "double press". Once I relaxed and did that, I can reset it on the 1st or 2nd try!

1 Move the ignition switch to the “RUN” position

2 Within 4 seconds of moving the ignition switch into the
“RUN” position, press the reset button for the trip odometer
twice within one second The display for the FSS service <----NO! Twice in about 2 seconds!
request is activated for 10 seconds

3 During the 10 seconds the FSS service request is displayed,
move the ignition switch to the “OFF” position
The FSS service request will continue to be displayed

4 Press the reset button for the trip odometer and
hold

5 Move the ignition switch to the “RUN” position

6 Continue to press and hold the reset button for the trip
odometer (about 10 seconds) until the audible signal
sounds and the new start distance appears in the display
The tool symbol should disappear at this time



Other than my bold change above, do it EXACTLY at described !

I tried this, pressing slow and releasing slow within 2-3 seconds and then two presses spaced 1 second apart but pressed them quick separately. How long should I wait to press and hold after the ignition key is turned off?

I am getting the "beep" sound after about 8-10 seconds when I the press and hold the odometer reset button and then turn the key back to the "run" position, but the number behind the tool icon and minus sign does not change.

Turn key off.
Press and hold... turn key on and keep holding unitl the beep!

Just like that - no delays.

Next time I reset mine, I'll make a VIDEO of it!
Might do that tomorrow after work if I'm bored, like I say, I only use the thing as a guide, when it gets to around 3000 miles, I look in my book and see how long it's really been. I change at 5500 or so after the previous change. At that time, the FSS usually says I have 2500 to 4000 to go!


EDIT: Time for bed... I"m gonna reset it tomorrow after work for the hell of it, and I'll make a short (2 minutes?) video and post it on Youtube and link it here!
That way, there is no confusion. This comes up on here all the damn time and a VIDEO is worth more than all this text!

So I tried it again this morning......

I did notice that it is a double wrench, B service? I need to get an OBDII reader.

Double wrench just means, "B" service. Owner's manual explains that - just other fiddly things you are supposed to check as opposed to the "A" service.
Best OBD reader IMO, is the ULTRAGAUGE!

I checked out the Ultragauge, you keep that in your car all the time for all the other benefits?



It is the same reset process for service A or B. I still can't get it reset.



Here is the process from the manual, same as above

Perform the following to reset the counter:

1. Turn the ignition key to the ON/RUN position.

2. Within one second press the ****/button to the left of the display twice.

3. The present status for days remaining or distance traveled is displayed. Within ten seconds turn the key to

OFF.

4. Press and hold the ****/button to the left of the display, while turning the key to ON/RUN again. The present

status for days remaining or distance traveled is displayed once more. Continue to hold the ****/button to the left

of the display.

5. Release the ****/button to the left of the display. After approximately ten seconds, a tone sounds and the

display shows 7,000 miles (11,000 km) for approximately ten seconds.






Here is the service required from the srt6 '05 manual
