Software to reset oil & service intervals

[humphshumphs]

Hi All,

I've got a ELM327 that came with some software, so after doing a oil change etc., plugged it in to reset the oil change interval.

Only problem is, the software doesnt do it :(

Can anyone suggest software to do this with a ELM327, or do I just use the bit of wire in the diagnostic socket (not what I want to do). If the software is free then even better :D

Thanks in advance
Richard.

Its the wire in the diag socket as this grounds the DS2 line on pin 8 (which is the instrument pack)

OBD2 readers only ever use the K-line on pin 7

The paperclip method works fine.

its not a good idea to be poking wire in to the data connector pins ,could be costly if you did it to the wrong one , treat yourself to one of these ..

Isn't that the one that flashed a member's eyebrows off? There's a lot of dodgy stuff around eBay, so always seek a recommendation.

Pay a bit more for a Gunson one, have tried two of those cheap ebay ones and both did not work!

I can recommend that one, I have one and it comes with very comprehensive instructions.

It's a very simple push button version of the paperclip, so there's no reason it shouldn't work. You just have to get the timing right as per the instructions.

I have one of these, it worked fine for me on the second attempt after re-reading the instructions.

The first time I held it too low, my eyebrows were fine but I walked bow-legged for a while.

If it was me I would also solder a couple of milliamps quick blow fuse into the wire..... just in case!
