  Service   

The Service section is specially designed to provide you with quick access to the vehicle 
systems  for  various  scheduled  service  and  maintenance  performances.  The  typical 
service operation screen is a series of menu driven executive commands. By following 
the on-screen instructions to select appropriate execution options, enter correct values 
or data, and perform necessary actions, the system will guide you through the complete 
performance for various service operations. 

The service will be listed on the 

Service

 section after purchasing. Tap the corresponding 

service to select the vehicle makes you need for service operations.   

The most commonly performed service functions in AP200M include: 

 

Oil Reset Service 

 

EPB Service 

 

BMS Service 

 

DPF Service 

 

SAS Service 

 

Throttle Match Service   

Oil Reset Service 

This function allows you to perform reset for the Engine Oil Life system, which calculates 
an optimal oil life change interval depending on the vehicle driving conditions and climate. 
The Oil Life Reminder must be reset every time the oil is changed, so the system can 
calculate when the next oil change is required. 

IMPORTANT 

Always reset the engine oil life to 100% after every oil change. 

NOTE 

All required work must be carried out before the service indicators are reset. Failure to 
do so may result in incorrect service values and cause DTCs to be stored by the relevant 
control module. 

Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Service 

This function has a multitude of usages to maintain the electronic braking system safely 
and  effectively.  The  applications  include  deactivating  and  activating  the  brake  control
