Is there any way to reset the "service required" message without taking it in to the dealer. I recently changed the oil and now the message is coming up when I start it up.

 

Yes there is. There are myriad of threads on it. If you type in the search it will come up.

 

This is the procedure for the XF. Should work on the XK.

1. Press and hold the rear fog lamp switch (before the ignition is on).
2. Press the start button without applying the foot brake (do not start the engine)
3. Release the rear fog lamp switch (1sec)
4. Press and hold the trip computer cycle switch (within 1sec).
5. Press and hold the rear fog lamp switch. (within 1sec)
6. Continue to hold the trip computer and rear fog lamp switches.
7. The message center should display "resetting service mode" and then "service mode reset"
8. Release the trip computer and the fog lamp switches and turn the ignition off.

 

Thank you, I get this all the time when disconnecting the battery and can't clear it via OBDII.

 

Not a problem!

 

I can confirm it works on my 2010 XKR. Good info, thanks!
