Kernowchristoff · 17th February 2023, 13:29

Hi Guys

Just had my Tourer back from a outer sill replace and service.

However they did not reset the service interval an oil service.

No problem but their is a problem plugged in turned on ignition followed instructions. It wont reset. I tried another tool just to be sure nothing.

Ive been told OBD2 Fuse issue ?

Any thoughts guys greatly appreciated.

I used the "IPKChanger" software created by Phil-T4 to reset mine, worked a treat.

To reset an oil service use an opened out paper clip, turn on the ignition and short out pin 8 and 4 for 8 seconds, sounds iffy i know but it works.

I have a couple but very rarely use them when i do a service, the interval an oil service on my T4 or as above using the IPK changer, depending what service is under taken at the time.

I've got an early 75 V6 2.5 (1999) and it works fine.

Up to 2000 OBD2 was the standard, though there weren't many diesels that could be read by the ' home ' reader.

EOBD came in, in 2000.

In 2003 EOBD became mandatory also for diesel vehicles, I expect that previous to 2003 there would be compliant vehicles about due to manufacturers tooling up for 2003 and some, non compliant unsold stock post 2003, so during the crossover there could be some readable and some unreadable cars sold.

From memory, having performed services on these cars over many years, the reset was sometimes only possible after re-setting the inspection interval. This was on my plug-in device formed originally for BMW models, but also sold for use on the MGR product too. This may be of help, or worth a try.
