How to reset the maintenance indicator light of FAW Besturn X40?
3 Answers
After the vehicle undergoes regular maintenance, it is necessary to reset the maintenance indicator light to zero and recalculate the next maintenance mileage and time. The method to eliminate the maintenance light is as follows: 1. Use the universal special diagnostic tool TECH2 to reset. 2. Use the button on the right side of the dashboard to reset manually. The operation steps are as follows: 1. Turn off the ignition switch. 2. Press and hold both arrow buttons simultaneously, then turn on the ignition switch. 3. Release both arrow buttons after about 3 seconds. 4. The maintenance menu will appear, asking if you want to reset. 5. Press and hold the SET (reset) button for more than 3 seconds. 6. Press the MODE button. 7. Turn off the ignition switch, and the reset is complete.
Last time when I drove the Bestune X40, I also encountered the maintenance light issue and managed to fix it after tinkering for a while. Simply put, it's a three-step process: First, turn off the engine completely. Then, locate the small TRIP button on the left side of the steering wheel and hold it down firmly without releasing. Next, turn the key to the ignition-on position without starting the engine. At this point, keep an eye on the dashboard—the yellow wrench icon will start flashing, and after about five seconds, it will go off. Then, release the button and restart the vehicle, and everything should be back to normal. However, a quick reminder: this method is suitable for models before 2020. For newer models, the button location might have changed, so it's best to glance at the manual for confirmation before proceeding. If the light remains on after several attempts, it might genuinely be time to visit the 4S店 for a computer diagnostic check, as electrical issues are nothing to take lightly.
I've helped a friend with this before; he drives a Bestune X40. Remember clearly, you need to do this when the car is completely turned off. Locate the mileage reset button at the bottom left of the dashboard, press and hold it firmly, then use your other hand to turn the key to the second position (ignition on). At this point, you'll hear a beep, and the maintenance reminder light on the dashboard will change from steady to flashing. Keep holding for about six or seven seconds until the light goes off. After success, turn off the ignition and restart the car to complete the reset. Make sure the battery voltage is sufficient during the operation, or it might fail. Also, a reminder: if you've just changed the oil but the light hasn't turned off, try disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery for a minute and then reconnecting it. Sometimes this helps the system reset more thoroughly.
