When the Service Reset is performed the Dashboard stores the current mileage (or
kilometre) value, read from the Odometer, in order to calculate when the next service
is required.
However, when the Odometer is shown in miles the calculation for the distance to the
next service fails. This results in distance to the next service being displayed as zero
and the Service Reset fails to be completed.
To reset the Service Interval the following procedure must be performed:
1. Switch the Ignition ON.
2. Press the [MODE] button on the dashboard to enter the dashboard functions
menu.
3. Use the [+] and [-] buttons on the dashboard to navigate to the UNITS option and
press [MODE] to select.
4. Use the [MODE], [+] and [-] buttons to set the units to Kilometres. All other
settings should be left unchanged.
5. Use the [+] and [-] buttons on the dashboard to navigate to the END MENU option
and press [MODE] to exit the functions menu.
6. Plug the OmiCheck into the Diagnostic Socket (using the 16-pin FAL LS CAN
harness) and perform a Service Reset by selecting Service, Alfa Romeo,
Mannesman then Service Reset.
7. Disconnect the OmiCheck, leaving the ignition on.
8. Press the [MODE] button on the dashboard to enter the dashboard functions
menu.
9. Use the [+] and [-] buttons on the dashboard to navigate to the UNITS option and
press [MODE] to select.
10. Use the [MODE], [+] and [-] buttons to set the units back to Miles. All other
settings should be left unchanged.
11. Use the [+] and [-] buttons on the dashboard to navigate to the SERVICE option
and press [MODE] to select.
12. ‘Number of Miles to Service’ should now read approximately 12500 miles.
13. Use the [+] and [-] buttons on the dashboard to navigate to the END MENU option
and press [MODE] to exit the functions menu.
14. Switch Ignition OFF.
This procedure is necessary to ensure that the value read from the Odometer by the
dashboard, when a Service Reset is performed by the OmiCheck, is in Kilometres.
The Dashboard can then calculate the ‘Number of Miles to Service’ correctly.
On the European Continent this procedure is not necessary as all dashboards are in
Kilometres.
