Resetting service required message

[TLB]

I purchased the diagnostics tool from amazon for around $120 I believe. It was easy to reset with it and in my opinion it is worth it to have

What did you buy?

For $120, you're halfway to a non-bluetooth IID Tool.

2013 LR4.
Service Required light at start up.
I have an IIDTool and I can confirm that the "service interval reset" does NOT turn the light off.
Anyone know where this lives in the IIDTool?
Thanks

Funny you should ask this, I Just uploaded a video to my YouTube Chanel with this on it.

Reset the Service Indicator


Using your GAP IID tool or equivalent reset the service indicator.

For the GAP tool only. The process is was follows.

1. Connect tool to car and phone/tablet/computer
2. Select " Service/Test "
3. Select " IPC-Instrument Pack "
4. Select " Service Interval Reset "
5. When asked " Proceed with this Routine? " Select " Yes "
6. You will get a message "Waiting ECU Initialization " and a countdown timer.
7. Then the tool will display " Clearing Faults... "
8. Finally the tool will display " Operation Succeeded "

The service interval is now reset.

I did that at least 4 times last evening. The Service Required light still comes on at start up.
Thoughts?

Try contacting Gap diagnostic. They are really helpful.

Well, interesting you should say GAP is helpful, I am not at all impressed with them.

I purchased the tool with an extra license and I cannot figure out how to activate it on the second vehicle. I have sent 2 emails to GAP and have received no response and it has been almost a week, If there is a phone number I cannot seem to find it.

If there is a contact method that they will actually respond to, please let us know!!

And on this website, how do I add that bit under my posts where I can list my vehicles? I can't seem to find that bit either!

I had to try the reset a couple of times myself to get the message to go away. I think what made the difference in my case was I left the tool connected for a good couple minutes after completing the process, then disconnected and shut down truck. At least that’s my theory. Service message hasn’t come
Back. Good luck!

I'll try that !

I have now tried it on both vehicles and the reset works on the 2016 but not on the 2013....
