Service Interval Reset UK Alfa 147 2.0 TS not working SOLVED

Post by sponcom » 31 Jan 2011, 11:59

Hi All

I am trying to reset the service interval on the Alfa using the ELM interface and the registered version of FES. Fes reports it completed successfully but the service interval remains at 0km and the odometer is still flashing.

Is there a problem with this version of FES and the Alfa? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Many thanks for your help.

Paul

service interval is now reset after changing the units from mpg to km. Obviously on UK cars it's in miles and gallons and FES doesn't like this for some reason!

Where exactly did you change units? On licensed version of FES the distance to service shows 20000 km. Reset procedure connects and shows it's complete after a short time, but the service due in distance shows 0 km. Mode key on dash also shows 0 distance to service.

The unit change have to be made with scrolling the menu (with MODE and +/- buttons), in the "units" submenu.

I can confirm this worked; change units to km/litres using the mode and +/- keys on dash, then run service reset with ELM 327, when complete check "service" indicator using Mode +/- buttons, and it should now show 20000. If so then you can change back to miles / gallons using the Mode buttons again.

Thanks for the help. 8-)
