Disarming time for service nag message

[trenths]

How do you disable or turn off the "Time for Service" reminder light on a '95 900S?

[Slaab4life]

i believe holding down the 'clear' button for a while does it, hold it until the second beep.

Also it acts with mileage. It will disappear after time. 1-2 days max.

It it disappears of its own accord, it will only to reappear. Clearing the message is the only option. The message is merely a mileage recorder - nothing else.

Of course, make sure that the vehicle has been serviced, or is genuinely in need of one. Service shops are notorious for not clearing the message after work, as can been found in these forums.

The 'TIME FOR SERVICE' message is governed by the odometer which tells how many miles the car has traveled since the last service. (The service interval is pre-programmed at the factory to suit different markets but it can be reprogrammed with the SCAN tool if required.) The message will be displayed when there are 600 miles left until the next service.

From 1995 onwards the number of days from the last service is also counted so the message will come on after 365 days have elapsed since the last service if the mileage interval has not been reached.

To reset the message:

Hold down the 'CLEAR' button on the SID for 8 seconds.

'CLEAR' will be displayed after 4 seconds and 'SERVICE' will be displayed after 8 seconds.
