How to Reset the Onboard Computer of Your Car

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Warning light – error code

The following guide shows how to reset the onboard computer, which is a precise and sophisticated tool that alerts us when to replace brake pads, perform servicing, change oil, and other operations. Each time one of these is performed, the sensors must be replaced and the computer reset so that when the time comes, it can alert us to other operations to carry out. If you want to proceed with the DIY method, you need to turn on the ignition, press the trip reset button, and while using the main beam lever, select the function to reset, press the button on the lights until the word 'reset' appears.
