- Hello everyone and welcome back to the Shed!
In this video I am going to be carrying out a reset of the OBC Service interval indicator on my BMW 1 Series, This process is near identical for E9x models also.
I will reset both the oil change indicator and also the inspection indicator. If you haven't already seen the video in which I carried out a complete Service on the car then please take a look at the link below
• Servicing The BMW 1 Se...
It's pretty easy to follow and I hope that you find the video helpful and useful.

Commenting because you helped as my mechanics forgot to reset one service item and it was beeping after 3 weeks 😂
No nonsense, straight to the point. Thank you, Sir
Thank you sir. I looked through about a half dozen videos on how to do this today and this worked on the first time. Again, I thousand thanks yous from across the pond.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to learn a bit more about my vehicle! It was really helpful! Have a great one!
I was looking into exactly this issue for at least an hour. Nice explanation! Short and precise!
Btw, lovely voice!
Cheers mate 👌🏻 lots of people seem to comment on my voice! 😂
I tuned into this just to hear your dulcet tones Kev. Hope you're keeping well mate.
Thank you but please hold the camera so we can see all of the service screen
You're a legend mate thank you!
Cheers kev👍
I can’t Thankyou enough for teaching me how to use this as I didn’t have a clue and too pigheaded to ask anyone😂
Thanks Kev...just reset my oil and service lights
Awesome, always makes it worthwhile when someone else finds your videos useful 👍🏻
Thanks this was super helpful!
You're welcome, Glad it was helpful! 👍🤓
A brilliant video well presented every thing very easy to understand solved my problem immediately keep up the good work.
Cheers buddy 👌🏻
OLI?
Thank you soooo much your video helped me alot 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glad it helped! 👍🤓
Thank you 💕
Cheers Kev ~ Good man! :)
No probs 👍🏻
Spot on mate
Cheers bro 👌🏻
Appreciated 👌
Thnxs
Very easy to follow nice and clear instruction , Good stuff
Glad it was helpful!
Kev i also have an issue that my dash keeps resetting. The car starts and drives absolutely fine. Its used to happen very occasionally before but now it’s happening all the time whilst driving and parked up stationary
Thanks for the video. Will this also work for an Airbag check light reset. It went on after a tire burst.
No mate, I’m afraid that you will need a diagnostic tool to reset the airbag light! A Carly adapter is highly recommended! 👍🏻
hope you remembered your oil change last month? 😅
Haha! Yeah, it binged at me! 😂😂😂
Hi Kev I am new to BMW, just had my car serviced and reset using the buttons in the bottom line you have the overall Mileage then there is a warning triangle then the trip (what is the warning triangle there for, is there still something wrong) thanks for this video very helpful
The warning triangle can mean a number of things, it's usually an indicator of an error of some kind. For example, when my DPF was refusing to ReGen it would pop up or when the window in the drivers door failed, it also did it then too but it does also pop up when service elements are required, it could be that the car needs a brake service or a fluid change, you can cycle through these with the BC button and the jog wheel.
Thanks for the video is very easy if you have any idea about alarm goes off in my 118 d or how i sort it many thanks
I had random alarm issues on my 7 series and it proved to be a battery problem. The battery was weak and the voltage drop caused the alarm to activate. Sometimes this happened at 3 or 4 in the morning!!! 👍🤓
hi kev ,can you give a update on your vfr mods ,I have a 03 bike and wondered if I can just do the snorkel and flapper mod ,also seen you did the pair mod but talked about putting it back for some reason ,many thanks
You can do anyone of the mods on their own, there is no need to do all of them, each has its own merits in theory, like I said in the video, they are all reversible so give them a go! I am not convinced by the PAIR valve if i'm honest but the snorkel and flapper made the bike sound so much gruntier! especially when the VTEC kicks in! :)
If I change my own pads on 16 plate 1 servies with the pro nav screen, can I update the service part the same way?? Great vids by the way
I'm honestly not sure, I don't have a later model to try it on. Give it a go and see how you get on!
@GordyCOD how did this go?
@@kainewebb3919 it didn’t, don’t think you can. Car gone now 😢 but so want it back got a cheap crappy made A-class now
mine doesn't give me the option to reset it. Im guessing the car realises i haven't changed the oil yet? thanks
Hi. It works pretty fine. I just have a doubt, I changed the oil in May 2022, the oil service was set to be changed in May 2023, I did the reset procedure and it changed to may 2024,is is a problem? Or the car will automatically revert to only one (1) year interval instead of two (2) years??????? How to reset it to one (1) year?!!?
It should be one year bud, it’s either mileage but based upon the manner in which the car is driven (CBS) or annually, whichever comes first.
Hi, i have been doing this reset always, but no my car dont let me reset it, i do everything like you, but the service light stays on and shows me 0 kms. Any ideias!?
Hi Kevin, i have just had my Vehicle serviced by bmw and they have left the service light on! I cant go back to them due to work and have tried to follow your video, it shows that the service has been reset but the service light still shows when i press the start button, please help
If it still shows the service light then there must be another element of the service that requires resetting, check the brake fluid for example, this will be the problem 👌🏻
You are a legend Kev, please keep your videos coming 👍🏼🤍
Kev, my bmw 1 series (59 REG) is booked for a service next week, but the service light on dash has gone from yellow to red. I am worried that this will lead to engine shut down. Do I need to get it reset even though not had service yet? My mechanic is on holiday n I need to use car for next 4 days.
It just means it’s overdue, don’t worry, it’ll be fine for 4 days. No harm done.
That service symbol got me scared . I thought my car broke down :))
Any1 know how to fix the oil service I bought a used 2011 335i xdrive and the oil service says it's not due for another year any1 know how to fix it?
Hi Kev done this and reset all. But it still shows a red warning light which the car on a ramp? Any idea how to get rid of that?? Cheers Jason.
Yes buddy. That is the symbol for vehicle check, you will also need to separately reset that one as well, you can individually reset different systems, such as oil service, front brakes, rear brakes, brake fluid etc. For example, I did this service reset but now I’m being told that the brake fluid needs to be reset as it’s been 2 years since it was last changed, hope this helps, if not give me a shout and I’ll try to help.
Kevs Shed hi mate thanks for the quick response 👍🏼 this is what I’ve tried. But still nothing. If I hold the trip button in I don’t get that symbol of the the car and the 2 SS. It goes to this hidden menu with numbers and in German 🤷🏻♂️ maybe if I take some pictures and send them over it would make more sense.
@@Jasontaylor_86 Sure thing, if you head over to the Kevs Shed page on facebook, drop the pics there and i'll take a look!
Kevs Shed hi Kev I found the problem it was the front brake sensor that had actually snapped 🤷🏻♂️ god knows how that happened but I found the problem. New one is order and on its way. Thanks for your help. 👍🏼
Kevs Shed hey! I followed your FB page. I reset my 2008 128i rear and front brakes and I have the same light on you do (red brake light with exclamation mark). How can I get rid of this brake light to safety my car?
Hello what is the small triangle from bottom right for?? What use have
I'm not sure what you mean bud!
@@KevsShed I mean on dashboard you have that small explamation mark inside a triangle... In the right bottom corner
@@BackStabberJeff Ah right, got you! That means that there is either a fault or a service item outstanding. In the case of this video it was informing me that the brake fluid required changing if I remember correctly! 👍
2011 128i. Won’t reset by this method or a scan tool. Reset every other light except the oil!
I just reset accordingly thanks but miles rating gone to 0 and didn’t appear back …?
Trying to find this answer from long now, hoping you can answer this.
The check engine lights stay on without engine running but when you start the engine it goes away. Why is that?
I'm sure that was not the case during a brand new car and it used to go away like all other lights after checks, I can see same issue with your car in this video.
Do you know why is that and the solution to the same?
It should be like that, the ECU isn’t receiving any management signals, if it stays on once running then that’s when there is a problem.
I have similar issue. I had the codes reset by mechanic but the engine lights comes once a day and goes off after I restart the car after driving for like 5-10 mins. Did you got any further to the root cause for your car?
I was unsuccesful.
I did do it when I first got the car.
It goes into the hidden menu when I press the reset button.
Are you holding it down for the correct amount of time? I can't think of any reason it won't work mate!
@@KevsShed I figured it out.
Thanks.
Does this work for a yellow service warning light
Should do, Yellow means that the service is due, red just means overdue 👌
@@KevsShed OK. I'll try it. Thnx
@KevsShed if red just means overdue service, can i continue to drive car without it shutting down? My service is booked, but not for another week n the light remains a worrying RED!
@@heathersmith9427 I don't know. But personally if it was just a service light for the oil change I would still drive it. Any other light, I would decide depending on what fault light it was. But it's your choice what you want to do.
I don't know anything about cars so I decided to get a bicycle instead.
And it's better for my health.
OLI?
OLI?
Not working on this 2012😢
And your steering wheel is on the wrong side. Just sayin
wait so the light stays on?
No, not if you did it correctly.
@@KevsShed i did it i reset everything and the light is still on it happened after the service
@@Gameplays-ld1ns my too, have you get solution?
@@PresidentDrive yes i actually got it fixed just reset the service using the button which the guy is showing turn the car off give it time it will disappear itself issue with my car was tht i forgot to put the air intake sensor back on 💀😂😂😂😂 that was the light was on i put it back together correctly it disappeared let me know if it helps i got some other tricks too
@@Gameplays-ld1ns I found that my car show me "low oil level" in display. So, I think that my oil level senor could be damaged :( Anyway, thank you for your respond :)
Can’t see dash lights . Filming too far away
😂
redo the video man, this time keep the dash in the picture, well described , poorly filmed.
