How to Reset an Audi Service Light

A service light will brighten up on an Audi. This light notifies the owner that it is time for an oil change. This light is not the same as the light the illuminates when something is wrong with the engine. After the oil is changed, the light will have to be reset.

How to Reset an Audi Service Light

1. Locate the odometer on your dash. It is located in the middle of your dash and is a square digital device that keeps track of your mileage.


2. Spot the tripometer, which is the mileage tracker. You will see two buttons on the side of the tripometer. One of the buttons will have a wrench while the other button is the one that set the numbers on the tripometer.


3. You can use this reset step on many of the models that were made from the year 2002 up until now. A4 and B6 are two of the models that it will work on as well as others.


4. Once you have located the button with the wrench, press on it. While you press the button with the wrench, turn the key until you reach the on setting. Avoid starting the engine at this time.


5. Notice the button where the zero is. Press this button until you see a message that says service. This will indicate that the reset is over. You can now return the key to the off setting and release all of the buttons. The service light is not reset. The light will illuminate again when it is time for another oil change.
