How to Reset the 'Service Vehicle Soon' Warning on a Buick?
2 Answers
Buick 'Service Vehicle Soon' warning reset method: 1. Turn off the engine and press the reset button for an extended period; 2. While holding the reset button, insert the key into the ignition and start the vehicle; 3. Press the clock adjustment button. After pressing, the 'Service Vehicle Soon' light will enter reset mode and return to normal within minutes. Taking the 2019 Buick Excelle as an example, it's a compact sedan with dimensions: 4609mm length, 1798mm width, 1486mm height, and 2640mm wheelbase. The 2019 Buick Excelle is equipped with a 1.0T turbocharged engine delivering 125PS maximum horsepower, 92kW maximum power, 170Nm maximum torque, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Last time I drove a Buick LaCrosse, the 'Service Vehicle Soon' message popped up, which scared me into heading straight to the 4S store. The mechanic plugged in the computer and within two minutes found out it was an oxygen sensor false alarm—just cleared the fault code and it was fine. However, the technician said this alert could indicate issues with the engine, transmission, or electronic systems. Once, a fellow car owner’s alert was triggered by unstable battery voltage. It’s advised not to tinker blindly; first, read the fault codes—that’s the reliable way. A friend of mine randomly pulled fuses and burned out the steering module, costing over 6,000 RMB to fix. Now, whenever I see this yellow light, I check tire pressure and fluid levels before going for diagnostics.
