Let's see how to reset the service light on a Jeep Compass 1.6 MultiJet. Unlike other vehicles, the Jeep Compass does not allow manual reset through button combinations on the dashboard or pedals, but requires the use of a professional diagnostic tool that must be connected to the internet and have a valid FCA subscription (SGW - Secure Gateway).

The service reset (which resets the counter to 20,000 km or 365 days) occurs remotely via the automotive group's secure network.

Without this online authorisation, the vehicle's security systems block data writing. The video presents a complete service: Removal of the underbody cover (8 mm and 10 mm screws) and the drain plug from the sump (13 mm socket).

Mandatory replacement of the plug gasket. Oil Filter: Located above the driveshaft; replace the air filter cartridge; disconnect the electrical connectors and fuel lines to replace the internal cartridge and the two gaskets of the diesel filter support.

After changing the diesel filter, turn the ignition on and off several times (using the Start button without pressing the brake to avoid starting the engine) to allow the electric pump to fill the circuit and eliminate air. Initially, add 4 litres of oil, start the engine to fill the filter, and then top up (about 1 litre more) to the maximum level.

Finally, replace the cabin filter, located behind the passenger side glove compartment.
