Welcome to HowToNick
Hello everyone, welcome back to HowToNick! If you’re new here, my name is Nick, and on this channel, we provide easy-to-follow automotive tutorials to help you tackle car maintenance and repairs on your own. Today, we’re focusing on a common task for Holden VE Commodore owners: resetting the service light. This process is essential after completing regular maintenance to ensure your vehicle's service intervals are correctly tracked.
Overview of the Holden VE Commodore
The Holden VE Commodore is a popular Australian vehicle known for its reliability and performance. Regular maintenance is crucial to keep it running smoothly, and part of that maintenance includes resetting the service light after each service. This helps in maintaining accurate service records and avoiding unnecessary service alerts.
Before we begin, here are a few safety tips:
Make sure your vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Engage the parking brake.
Ensure the car is in 'Park' if it has an automatic transmission, or in 'Neutral' for a manual transmission.
Turn off any unnecessary electronics to avoid battery drain.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Start the Vehicle
Insert the key into the ignition.
Turn the key to the ‘On’ position without starting the engine. This is typically the second position in the ignition cycle. You should see all the dashboard lights illuminate, including the service light.
Step 2: Navigate to the Service Menu
Locate the trip computer buttons on your dashboard. These are usually found on the steering wheel or the stalk behind it.
Press the ‘Menu’ button to scroll through the options until you find the ‘Service’ menu.
Once you are in the ‘Service’ menu, use the arrow buttons to navigate to the ‘Reset Service’ option.
Step 3: Resetting the Service Light
When the ‘Reset Service’ option is highlighted, press and hold the ‘Set/Reset’ button. This button may be labeled differently depending on your model, so refer to your owner’s manual if necessary.
Hold the button for a few seconds until the service light begins to flash or a confirmation message appears on the display.
Step 4: Confirming the Reset
Release the ‘Set/Reset’ button.
Turn the ignition off and then back on to verify that the service light has been reset.
Start the engine to ensure the light does not reappear. If the service light remains off, you have successfully reset it.
4. Common Issues and Troubleshooting
Common Mistakes
Not holding the reset button long enough: Make sure you hold the button until you see a confirmation.
Wrong menu selection: Ensure you are in the correct ‘Service’ menu. Refer to your owner’s manual if you have trouble finding it.
Troubleshooting Tips
Service Light Still On: If the service light remains on after following these steps, repeat the process. Sometimes the system needs a second attempt.
