BMW E90 service light reset from the instrument cluster
How do you reset the oil service light on an E90?
1. Turn the key in the ignition and press the start/stop button without pressing the clutch or brake pedal, until the service message goes out. 2. Immediately hold down the trip meter reset button until the warning triangle and then the oil can appear. 3. Select the service with the indicator stalk, press the BC button when the display says reset and hold it for 2-3 seconds. If the button is held for about 10 seconds in total, software information appears on the display. Start again from the beginning.
How do you reset the fresh air filter service interval?
The fresh air filter (the cabin filter of the air conditioning) has its own service. Hold the trip meter button down with the ignition on but the car not started. From the instrument cluster's hidden menu select the cabin filter item and reset it with the BC button.
What if the service light does not reset or the service due message does not go away?
Check in the instrument cluster which service the car requires, and reset exactly that one. The message can also relate to an annual inspection or emissions test reminder. It can be reset with BMW's diagnostic software (ISTA) or at a BMW specialist. If the normal reset does not work, the cause can be the instrument cluster software freezing, in which case a workshop updates the software.
