prior posting...

RESETTING THE FSS MAINTENANCE INDICATOR

The FSS maintenance indicator can be reset to the total mileage
or total time in two ways:

Automatically when the odometer is reset to 0 within the
first 155 miles. (The FSS maintenance indicator is reset to the
values set at the factory).

Manually by driver by:
1. Hold the left rotary dial depressed.
2. Simultaneously move the ignition switch to the “RUN” position
3. Continue to hold the rotary dial down for 10 seconds.
After the audible tone 15,000 km (7,500 miles) appears on
the display. The remaining mileage is displayed again.

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.

Thanks Andrew, worked just great. I kind of thought that this was an old question, but thanks for getting it answered for me. Kevin

Andrew,

Have you ever heard of one that does not reset? Yeah, wouldn't you know that it would be mine... Seems the dealer, with the assistance of DC, tried to do it twice and each time the engine was shut off, the negative number came up each time the car was restarted. And I witnessed it with my own eyes...

Thoughts?
Sharon

My dealer couldn't do it ... my car had 141 miles on the odometer, but the FSS was reading negative numbers. I read up on it in the manual and did just as Andrew posted ... like 5 times ... good thing I remembered the mileage on the trip counter because it reset that before I got the FSS to reset. It's a timing thing ... you do as posted above, but you have to time it just right.
