How to Reset the Service Light on a 2013 Mini Cooper SD

Hi, this video shows how to reset the service light on a 2013 Mini Cooper SD. You will find that the same or similar process is used on many other Mini models. I show how to reset the oil light, the vehicle check light and also how to set the MOT (Road Worthiness Test). This is ideal if you have done your own servicing and you don't want the car reminding you to sevice the car everytime you start your engine.
Many thanks Vince.

Thank you Sir, if I could buy you a pint it would be my pleasure. Worked a treat after my rear brakes wore the sensor through. I changed the brake pads but could not get rid of the error message to get my cruise control working again. This worked and I am grateful for you taking the time to upload this. Thanks again.

[@kurtsunn]

Thanks! This is the simplest and most reliable way to do this. Worked on a 2009 Mini Cooper Canadian Model.

[@sassyrav]

Worked on my 2012 Mini Cooper Coupe R58. Thank you

[@camilleclark9283]

Thank you! This worked on my 2012 Countryman S. I had my oil changed at a Volkswagen dealership because the nearest mini dealership is 2.5 hours away and there are no shops in my area that work on Minis. My service light had been on since then. Now I know how to reset it. Thank you!!!!

[@deathharpproductions3094]

Thank you! SAME!

[@ebankolo2520]

Thanks. Helped me out since I don’t work on these cars very often. The oil filter on this one is a pain to get to. Good luck diys!

[@markdayphotography7948]

Worked a treat. On my Cooper SP, I initially forget to first press the start/stop button and accidentally revealed vehicle details (VIN, production date etc).

[@precool]

Awesome! Thank you. I don’t do it enough to remember the mental gymnastics.

Saved me time and money, thank you.

[@mariapickering3125]

Thank you so much for the video! It is really very helpful.

[@paddlaistockholm]

After pressing the start button I only have about 15 seconds before the instrument panel lighting is shut off. I solved it by first changing the month and then repeat the process, changing the year. Thank you very much for this video!

[@trapomcn]

Change the month? Like in the past or one more? Or how? I'm having the same problem :( please help

Thanks Vince..🖐️

[@aramchakerian3244]

Thank you so much!

[@joshgresham2735]

Thank you for the info. (Brake pad reset). You would think after changing the the pads and sensor, then trying to clear the code with a snap on scanner it would cover it, but no it doesn't. This reset procedure is necessary.

[@rdszserracin5980]

It work on my 2012 jcw. Thanks

Ive got the Vehicle check up on my dash just did this on the video it went bck to Orange but when I restarted the car it came straight bck on.as the car got to have a service and the car as to recognize this?

[@AimeeMcCrae]

Thank you!!

[@KRoberts1]

Is there a way of back-dating the MOT and service dates as they've accidentally been set too far in the future?

[@Meerl1203]

Do you have a solution?

[@papa2k]

When I do this on my car it shows the VIN number and other product codes? Any suggestions?

[@garybrown5500]

Go back to beginning & make sure instrument cluster warning lights are on before pressing button on rev counter for 5 seconds.

[@pennyroehrer1392]

I have a 2013 mini cooper, the indicator for a bad lamp is coming up. The mechanic said that it is not showing which one -- it is showing a fluctuation or increase in something, but not the lamp being out. He was going to show me how to stop that light from coming on but when I paid for my service there were others waiting and he couldn't. Is there an easy way to not have that come up every time I turn the car on and sometimes at other times while it is on? Thanks for any help you can give me.

[@anxiousbun5390]

I wonder if this'll work in my 2012. The keep forgetting to turn my lights off! Will this work for the service (engine light) too? Because it's scary!

[@deathharpproductions3094]

Thank you!

Thanks ..i did all this setting but still showed

[@brandonwittmier4866]

Will this work for an 09 r55 clubman?

[@jojomutd]

I don't know if it's just me but I just wanted to let you know that the previous 4 videos you have uploaded on the mini, have not appeared in my subscription tab.

[@Mymatevince]

Hi, thanks for letting me know but on these videos I didn't push them to my Subscribers as I tend to get a lot of thumbs down from subscribers on videos not related to 'technology or gaming' so I don't always tick the box to notify subscribers. Thanks for taking the time out to tell me though :-)

[@kaml1369]

That’s brilliant. So that means any registered garages are able to reset the service lights? ATS said they are unable to reset the lights as they do not have the software. Which this clearly shows it can be done. I rang a MINI centre they said a non-BMW wouldn’t be able to reset the lights. Is that true?

[@burtman9649]

hi! theres a phone sybol on my 2003 mini on the radio , so is that a bluetooth or something else ? my cd players eject button wont spit out a cd so its stuck and I had to use a credit card to figit with it and now it wont even take a cd now. goes in half way and bounces back out !

Thanks..

[@C.D2000]

I got it to Work on my 2010 r56. It should be noted that you need to let the service lights cycle through for a few seconds before holding the button down.

Can you clear a check engine light with that?

[@steppentofortune7934]

I tried this to reset the vehical check light, but everytime the reset shows up, i hear a click and it goes away almost immediately and I have to start all over again. How do I remedy this?

Mine is showing the statutory inspection warning due in 2 years time. How do I decrease it? Thanks.

[@MrLee131]

Cheers,

[@5of5limited69]

I changed the oil and filters. I reset the light as you have showed here and service light is still showing when I start the car 😭

[@8kris8]

Mine has come on every time I start the engine ! What does it mean ? Is that means that the car has any problem or because it’s time to renew my MOT?

[@magdalenas.3595]

Hey I have a Mini Cooper base model 2008 which I will be driving from Florida to CA. My steering wheel does not have any buttons on it. Do you know is there any way to turn on cruise control. Please and thank you

[@nothingmuch.3014]

Faiza Mansoor If your steering wheel has no buttons on it, then cruise control isn't fitted to your car.

[@faizamansoor9640]

Nothing much. Yea sounds like taking a flight would be better. Thank you so much

Thank you bye now

Mini Cooper fan keeps running when engine is turned off how do we fix this?? Thx

[@pokemaniatico13]

Way too late but same thing was happening to me and it was that I had very low oil so it was overheating a bit. My 2009 mini doesnt have an oil level warning nor an overheating warning..

Doesn't seem to work on my dad's 2012 mini one.

What does M. O. T stand for

[@patrickmarshall15]

@@shawnmartins169 In Great Britain, once a car is over three years old, it has to have a rigorous road worthy test, brakes, lights, emissions etc. MOT stands for Ministry of Transport who govern the testing. It is illegal to drive without a valid test.
