Video tutorial

This video shows the procedure to reset the service light on a Volkswagen Passat B7. This procedure is very simple and quick, taking less than a minute and requiring no specific tools or software. It can be useful if, after servicing the vehicle, the light remains on, as the ECU may not have communicated correctly with the engine and continues to indicate the need for a service even if it has already been done.

Once the reset is performed, it is advisable to switch off and then switch on the ignition to verify that the procedure was successful.
