How to reset the service of an Alfa Romeo 159

Model: Alfa Romeo 159 MK 1 - Years: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011
Part: Service warning light

Video tutorial

In this video we can see how there is an empirical method to reset the service light on an Alfa Romeo 159, despite the rule stating that this can only be done through diagnostic instrumentation. The same method is also valid for Mito and Giulietta.

We turn on the ignition without starting the engine, and wait for the lights on the dashboard to turn off; after they have turned off, we press the accelerator pedal all the way down and with the accelerator pedal pressed, after waiting a second or two, we press the brake pedal all the way down six times.

When we release the brake pedal for the sixth time, we also release the accelerator at the same time.

We wait a second or two, start the car and we will notice that the service light has turned off.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
