Service, or interservice interval - a period of time, after which the planned maintenance of transport is carried out. This is a reminder of the need to replace consumables - brake and coolant, filters, oils, and other things. Modern vehicles are equipped with special sensors that sign about the timing of the next maintenance.
If you pass the planned inspection at the official maintenance station (service station), the counters reset specialists.
General Interval Reset Procedure
Sometimes motorists prefer to make the replacement of consumables before the "service" lights up, without resorting to the help of official hundred. Sooner or later, the sensor will still light up, notifying you about the false need for maintenance. Then you can reset the sensors yourself, thereby dropping the service interval. Consider the overall algorithm for resetting the service interval (depending on the car brand, the procedure may differ slightly):
- Turn off the ignition
- Press the button that signals the passage of inspection
- Turn on ignition
- Clear or press the same button
- We wait until the interval is reset
For each brand of auto, there are its programmed indicators, according to which the maintenance key lights up. In one car, it can be 10,000 km, in the second - 20,000 km, and in the third - 40,000 or 50,000 here or here.
Zeroing the meters of an intervice interval on the example of Nissan Qashqai
Cars of this brand until 2010 release have the same principle of resetting the service interval, consider it:
- Turn on the ignition and turn the key to the "ON" designation
- On the electronic board of the car, the meter, mileage and other characteristics will seem
- Press the on-board computer control lever (Nissan it is right) and hold until the service interval indicator starts flashing
- Let's release the control lever, and press again - a sign of the frequency of the following technical inspections will be lit on the screen (for this car model it is 15,000 km according to factory settings).
- The distance between the planned technical inspections is 15,000 km mileage. This parameter can be changed independently by srolling the control lever in the left or right side. Each scroll reduces or increases the service interval by 1000 km between technical inspections
- Thus, put the desired interservice interval, and then let go of the control knob on the on-board computer. On the screen will seem the number of run, according to which the count will be
- We turn on the ignition and we see a new intersavice interval on the scoreboard.
Instructions for resetting sensors on Nissan from 2010 release
- Turn on ignition
- Go to the settings menu: we find the reset button on the panel, rotate it to the right until the "Maintenance" option appears, confirm the input, press the button
- The "Reset" command will appear on the board, after which you press the discharge key of the service interval, thus resetting the counters.
Resetting the interval using special devices
More detailed verification of the performance of consumables can be performed using special instruments - adapters. The VAG COM adapter is popular from the German VAG manufacturer, which allows you to perform extended car diagnostics. It can also be reset the meters of an interval interval.
The principle of operation of this device is to connect the adapter to the laptop with a cord that comes in the kit. Depending on the adapter model, the procedure for diagnostics is also different, as well as the device capabilities. You can find older versions with a unwanted menu, and the modern Russian-language version is called "Vasya Diagnostic". Car checking is carried out strictly according to the instructions applied to the adapter.
If there is no possibility to refer to specialists to diagnose the state of the car and subsequently reset the service interval, then it is quite possible to do with your own. We looked at the overall reset order, but each brand car has its own features of the reset counters. With independent discharge, it is also not recommended to change the factory mileage settings without the need, as it threatens the deterioration of the technical characteristics of the car.
