I guess you lost your operators guide already? ?????
maintenance minder, or CEL/SES/MIL?
all are service but all are different.
the wrench light is probably oil change reminder, (?????)
the oil change reset is in the linked oper guide below on page.307
the icon of an engine is the CHECK engine light , or CEL.

CEL
all USA cars? and most 2006 plus cars world wide (not china)
reset with a generic scan tool , press button.
there are 3 ways on all cars.
1: scan tool reset. (best of best) $9 tool
2: pull ECU memory fuse, (RTM read the FSM)
3: pull battery neg lug , step on brake pedal , and wait 5min and put back. this kills all power to car.
the operators manual warns you, pulling battery and not reading the radio and NAV sections of same , you will lose the RAD CODE and NAV code, bricking both.
so read the manual in the glove box and back up your 1 or 2 codes
if you have NAV.
there may be a 4 th way some cars have driver reset, silly way.
fidding knobs, and keys and odometer resets, this is car maker
and year,specific , and i ignore it, as i have 8 scan tools.
but read the operators guide on all 3 topics.
ive post the free accord link 25 times. now.
here it is 1 more time.
RTM, read this first then ask questions.

the oper guide shows no way to reset the MIL.
(other than a real scantool) only the FSM covers the other ways.

How to turn the sevice warning light off after oil change ?

BMW Model E39 built from 1996~2000 will have a port like the one shown below. A Reset tool like a Peake R5 or R5-FCX is needed to reset the oil service or inspection service lights after required service.

1) If you have a reset tool then turn your car key to Position II but do not start the car.
2) Turn the cap counter clock wise on the Data Link Connector and insert the Reset Tool
3) Follow the instructions of your reset tool, different models may have different functions however they all create a short in PIN 7 to PIN 19 for a given amount of time.

  • OIL Service Reset requires pin 7 and 19 to be closed for 3+ seconds
  • INSPECTION Service Reset requires pin 7 and 19 to be closed for 10+ seconds


  • 4) Once done, remove the reset tool and close the cap .
    5) Your dash should light up with green lights at this point.
    If the light did NOT reset after the above steps then you might be resetting Oil Service however an Inspection Service is needed.

    I have ust serviced my 2001 volvo s40 and now the

    did the sevice light come on before you serviced it? when you "serviced" it I assume you changed the oil and now need the service light reset.
    I bought the 1998 S70. it got time to change the oil. Being how I am I changed the oil myself. I had to call dealership about resetting the service light.
    they said $29.96.
    I said 29.95?!!! how much if YOU would have changed my oil and reset the light?
    they said $29.95.
    so I learned you need to access the OBDII to reset the light.after service. hope this helps.
