2018 Dacia Duster service reset

[mayfly]

After servicing the above we have failed to reset service light. There seems to be a few different reset precuders for these. This one has the Amber squigley light on in the left hand rev counter clock.Would appreciate any help with this. Cheers

I have stuggled with these before - only thing I can reset them with is a Launch.

Yes your spot on. I had tried everything and eventually using Launch I got it sorted.

The Autel MS908 can do these as well - I found that tool was quite good at sorting-out odd issues with the recent Duster's, of which there are many.......

If you look on autodata - it shows a manual reset for these. It does not work.

Your Dacia will/may log a P code in the PCM unit for "service oil dilution" - this has to be removed as well.

If you really dig deep - some of these have this code in the internal faultcode tables and some don't! Dacia is minefield with a scan tool - some work on them - some don't.

Worst service resets are these and Fiat 500's


Older Merc multifunction steering wheel service resets would try your patience - but were always possible in the end.


Launch and Autel are much the same - data stolen from the west by the east and sold back to the west.

Pre buying the Launch - I used to have to borrow another garages Autel to reset these.

Then there is the subject on blocked diagnostic plug port (this has been discussed here before).
