Try changing the year on the SID two-three years into the future...it'll recet to 0% and you should be able to reset it.

mind posting step by step instructions?

I'll try. I didn't write down the exact sequence.
The first time I triedthis, itdidn't work.Next try,I left it at 2011 for a day. The display then read 'Maintainance Required........'

1. Set year to 2011.
2. Reset maintainance.
2.Leave it for a day.(see above)
3. Now reset back to 2008.

If I missed something, try again. It worked for me on the second try. Thanks again

I did the same thing it worked for me...idk what year I did though..I just wish their was a easier way to do it...I mean if I had to do that everytime I got a oil change...

Well...the "easier" way of doing anything is buying a Tech2...which will cost a pretty penny
