Manual service reset
Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
On some older vehicles it is not possible to reset the SRI by using the service tool. The
manufacturers of these vehicles generally have bespoke service reset tools specifically
for this task. However on a number of vehicles, it is possible to reset the SRI via
interfaces built into the vehicle. The following are some of the most common SRI
manual reset procedures.
