Took the XKR to get the oil changed and have it looked over for anything it may need. They did the change and everything else looked fine. BUT they could not reset the Service Engine display in the dash. They said they tried many times but it would not reset. I have a new battery and there are no other issues with the car. This Indy shop specializes on high end cars and is very reputable and I trust them completely. So any one else have this problem? It's not the worse thing that can happen but it would be nice to get it fixed.

 

Assuming you/they are doing the procedure below, try it again 30 more times usually takes me 5 or 6 tries to get it.

I'm getting better at it. Only took three attempts for the XK last time.

I was pleased to find the F-Pace procedure is more scientific than ritualistic. Engine compartment and driver's door open - switch ignition on - fully press and hold accelerator and brake pedals for 10 seconds - service reset message clears. There's progress for you.

Interesting, that’s been the same procedure for Land Rover for the last 10 years. Sometimes takes a couple of tries to get the timing right though.

 

And here I thought a reset using an OBD II tool would do the trick...I will try the above for mine.

 

All of the other vehicles in my family have a simple oil reset in the dash menu. No tricks necessary. I'm not sure why it needs to be so convoluted.... Just for fun I guess

 

Mine just came back on after I needed to disconnect my battery. Took me a bunch of attempts the last time I reset it. I remember in the past asking a Jag tech to reset it for me. He did it in seconds with his eyes closed! It was funny to watch him.

 

I can usually get mine on the first try, but I make it into a little song to keep the cadence going right.

 

I can't do it without using a metronome app on my phone.

 

Time is money.

I suspect JLR were deliberately avoiding the need for dealers to hook up SDD just to reset the service indicator and over thought the solution. It's reminiscent of the remote fob 'pairing' procedure on the XK8 with a combination of button pressing and stalk pulling which has to be completed within a set time.

Saw an interview with Bill Gates once and someone asked him how they came up with Ctrl-Alt-Del and why that combination of keys was needed to bring up task manager. He said, "we just made it up". No rhyme or reason to it. Even typing 3 keys in wasn't necessary. Just 1 would have been sufficient. Funny how things work out.
