What is the Volkswagen INSP reset tutorial?
3 Answers
There are two methods to reset the Volkswagen INSP warning: computer reset and manual reset. The specific tutorials are as follows: 1. Computer reset of INSP requires visiting a 4S shop for processing, which will not be elaborated here. 2. The manual reset steps are as follows: After turning off the engine, press and hold the reset button with your left hand, then turn on the ignition switch with your right hand (do not start the engine). When a flashing wrench symbol appears, release the left hand. Below is a brief introduction about INSP: The "INSP" warning is a maintenance reminder function set by the car manufacturer to alert the owner to perform scheduled maintenance at specific mileage intervals. The prompt information starts flashing. After maintenance is completed, the maintenance reminder light can only be turned off by following the above reset procedure.
I've always driven Volkswagen cars, and once after maintenance, the INSP light stayed on. I thought it was a big problem, but a friend taught me how to reset it. The steps are simple: turn off the engine, find the button on the dashboard (usually labeled RESET or something similar), press and hold it, then turn the ignition to the ON position (without starting the engine). Wait for 10-15 seconds, and the INSP light will blink a few times before turning off. Release the button, and you're done. This light is just a reminder for maintenance, like an oil change or inspection. Resetting it won't affect the car, but if the light keeps coming back or won't reset, there might be a real issue. It's best to visit a 4S shop to check the dashboard or system to avoid compromising driving safety.
As a seasoned driver, I've handled the maintenance light reset on many Volkswagen models. To clear the INSP light, just use the button: After turning off the engine, press the small button on the instrument panel, turn the key to the ACC position, and hold for about 10 seconds until the indicator light flashes and goes out, indicating a successful reset. This method works on most newer models, while older versions are even simpler. Remember, INSP is just a computer setting and doesn't mean your car is broken. After resetting, it's more important to stick to regular maintenance schedules to prevent potential issues.
