    My E38 year 2000 service lights don’t reset with a professional tool at my local garage, nor do they reset using the method described on your site. Do you have any ideas what the problem could be?

  2. For cars before 09/2000 the above procedure won’t work. You have to go to the obd connector under the hood and shortcut pins 7 and 19 during 4 seconds with ignition key in position II
