It won't. You need to do a hard reset.

what is a hard reset??

[supersteve]

Using a reset tool such as a PEAKE.

OH - I see that done at dealership? or with the tool and the circle thing with pins?

Just a very quick note to thank you guys, the reset procedure worked fine for me, although I had to make a number of attempts. I seldom get time to contribute to the forum but I often look in on any new posts. I’m in this for the long haul so I’m sure the time will come when I can assist others as you guys have done for me

Hi there

What is the minimum consumption values? I thought it was 2.5 gallons but in my case, I have already used up 1/2 tank of gas and the reset procedure does not seem to work on my 2003 X5 3.0

Help please

Thanks

Hi there, have not been successful in resetting the service indicator

After holding the reset button for 5 seconds while the the key is in position 1, I get Oil Service show up but the RESET does not appear.

Have tried this countless times and no luck

Any suggestions?

Bump ...

Hi there ...

I have tried the listed instructions countless times but am not successful in reseting the service indicator on my 03 X5 3.0

Each time, after holding the button more than 5 seconds, all I have is below the green indicators and the word Oil Service. I don't have the RESET light display

Once before, at the stealer, the service advisor had placed the key in the ignition and he pressed the button and turned the ignition slowly. After numerous times, he was able to get the RESET to light up and flashed. His approach was different from what is written here. I tried what he did and was not successful too.

Any suggestions?

Zerochief thanks for posting.

Gearhead, if you are still having trouble give a go two or three times. You may think you followed the instructions exactly (as I did) but may actually catch it the third go around. Also, I notice that your key position starting out may be different... ensure that the key starts off at position 0 then move it to positon 1. maybe that will help?
