Does anyone know the procedure on resetting the service due on a 2012 Mulsanne? Thank you in advance.

 

Resetting Service Light
1. Key in ignition switch (not turned/engine off).
2. Hold down the trip button.
3. Switch the ignition on and release the trip button.
4. A message appears in the DIP with the wording SERVICE RESET .
5. Press the OK button on the steering wheel.
6. The message will now disappear.
7. To check the procedure has worked correctly. Switch the ignition off, switch the ignition back on again. The service warning light should have disappeared.

 

Thank you! I'll go ahead and try this.

 

Can you let us know if this works on the current cars please.

 

So i tried the procedure and it seems like I'm not timing it right but it doesn't work. Here's a video on what shows up in the DIP.

 

Carfin, please call the service center and ask them for the procedure on newer cars... then post here


What I posted works/verified on the 06 and 07 models GT/GTC.

 

I tried this on a 14MY CGT, it didn't work.
My miles and days duration are both sitting as dashes:
Miles ------
days ---

 

That procedure only works on the 04-12 continental line. For Mulsanne and new conti/flying spur the scanner has to be used. As far as the dashes displayed instead of miles this is normal after a reset. Once it's has been driven it will calculate a new service date based on usage.

 

How far / long does it need to be driven to calculate and register values?
Is it a few miles and a few days?

 

To be honest I'm not a 100% sure. I can tell you after a pdi I put 20-30 miles on them and they still have not calculated. If I had to guess I would say 100 miles. But this is a guess. If I get any super low mileage cars this week I'll keep an eye out see if we can solve this puzzle.

 

Mine was sitting at dashes (----), the dealership reset it 4 days ago, I have driven maybe only 60 miles in that time and it is still sitting at dashes. I don't doubt they reset it, perhaps I have a fault?

 

I can assure you it is normal. I have reset dozens of them after yearly service and they all display dashes. Put at least 100-150 mIles on it then check. I own other VAG products and there service counters count down 100 miles at a time. I don't think the logic will be much different.

 

Thanks, that reassures me. I will check it again in a couple of weeks.

 

Just used your instructions for resetting the SERVICE NOW alert that appeared every time I've started the car for the past year. Huge thanks for solving a small but extremely annoying problem.
On a related DIP message LOW BATTERY PLEASE START ENGINE I just eliminated that one by replacing both batteries in the trunk. They were the original 10 year old VARTA brand batteries in my '06 GT. Replaced with Interstate brand --- one battery was an H8 at $225 and the other an H5 at $195 plus one hour labor at $140. I think the technician had to reset codes as well. For months it has been throwing codes like CHECK BRAKE LIGHTS and RUNNING GEAR FAULT. No more codes ---Happy Days!
