Hi All

I've got a 2009 International Sportwagon. It's the 3.6 Alloytec LY engine.

I've recently done an oil change but can't seem to reset the Oil Life percentage (not service warning).

I've gone into engineering mode (engine off) and pumped the accelerator pedal three times like you're supposed to but it seems to make no difference.

I know it's not a big deal but I'd like to get it working if I can. I've also read that this feature may be disabled in Australia?

Anyone got any ideas?

I know it is functional through engineering on VE V8, only thing I can think of is that it doesn’t need to be in engineering to reset just turn on IGN pump accelerator to the floor three times within three seconds, then switch to off.
Then you can check in engineering.

I’ve always reset both my (ss wagon) and the better halves calais in engineering mode by scrolling down to oil life and pumping the accelerator 3 times to the floor

Kiffles didn't mention he turns the key to off after pumping the pedal so he could be doing it wrong.

Hi All

I've tried with engineering mode on and engineering mode off, I've tried pumping the accelerator fast and slow and turning the ignition off straight after vs waiting for it to reset.

Still saying 0%

No idea why it's not working ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The software version is ver01.16.rel if that means anything to anyone.

Any more suggestions?

When you pump! the acc.,, pedal should hit the floor, 3 times.

Yup definitely pushing it to the floor. I've even tried doing it with the key at position 1 (accessories). Not sure what else to try at this point.
