Resetting FSS
 

Have 2000 230 Kompressor How to reset FSS after service. Directions in the owners manuel don't work. Help much appreciated. Thank you.

Tell me, step by step, what your directions say, and I'll verify or correct the procedure. ;)

I need the same info as the manual didnt work. But my FSS light was not on yet even though I did my oil change!

I will add this tidbit:

Follow the instructions in the owner's manual...and do so WITH THE DOOR CLOSED!

Not sure why, but I couldn't reset the FSS on my ML at home because I had the driver's side door open. Later that day while waiting for my wife at a parking lot, it performed the same operations, but this time it worked! I did so with the door closed.

I just did mine. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the proceedure gang! What a great site!

Hi, how would you do this for a W204?
thanks Toby
