Can the maintenance of BJ40Plus be manually reset?
2 Answers
BJ40Plus maintenance cannot be manually reset and must be done at a 4S shop. Below is relevant information about BJ40Plus maintenance: 1. Function of the maintenance light: The maintenance light records the mileage of important components, similar to a timer in a sprint race, serving as a reminder for both the car owner and maintenance personnel. If the car undergoes maintenance but the light is not reset, it won't affect the vehicle's performance, but it may cause issues for future part replacements, as the exact usage time of new components cannot be accurately tracked. 2. Maintenance cycle: When the maintenance light comes on, it indicates that the car needs servicing. Generally, cars should be serviced every 5,000 kilometers or every six months. Some owners rarely drive, possibly not even reaching 5,000 kilometers in a year. However, fluids like engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid can deteriorate over time, even with minimal use. Therefore, it is advisable to perform maintenance at least every six months.
I've been into off-roading for years and often do the maintenance reset on my BJ40 Plus myself. It's actually not that hard. First, get in the car without starting the engine, just turn it to the ignition-on position where the dashboard lights up. Then, look for the 'Vehicle Settings' menu on the center console screen, scroll down to the bottom, and you should see an option like 'Maintenance Reset' or 'Service Reset'. Click on it, and it will ask for a password. At this point, you'll need to check the owner's manual for the default password. After resetting, remember to turn off the ignition and start the car again; the wrench icon should disappear. Before doing it yourself, make sure the battery is fully charged to avoid power failure halfway through and triggering fault codes. Also, the interface might vary for different model years. If you can't figure it out, it's easier to just let the shop use their computer to reset it for you.
