I am getting a negative value (-25000) when i do the reset . Help.
First this check that both of your sensors are in good shape. If they are faulty the system will not reset.

did you fix negative value ?
I needed an oil change and this is my first Oil change since I had the car December 2009. I have got this done my local guy and now I tried to follow the steps above to reset the service display.
However, when I press and hold the Instrument Cluster Set/Reset button for 10 seconds, I only get a triangle warning sign and nothing else. Then is disaapears.
Tell me, do I have to have the engine switched on and running?
You have to follow the directions above exactly. Do you have the driver door shut during the process?
I just tried again.
I put the key in and pushed the start button, so the the engine started and the warning lights are lit. I get a red car sign saying "service" on the top panel and " - 390" on the bottom panel.
Then I press and hold the Instrument Cluster Set/Reset button for 10 seconds, I get an orange warning triable sign.
I also slightly confused about Terminal 15. What does that mean?
Push the key inside and not start the engine? or Start the start the engine?
Please ignore all of my replies. I have managed to reset it.
However I have a question, The oil service light came on when the mileage was about 13400 as my car was brand new. Now i set the next oil by default 19000 miles. In my iDrive, it says its due in 19000 miles. Does this mean next oil change is required when the car is done 32400 or at 19000 on the clock?
The mileage shown during oil life reset is the distance you travel until yor next oil service.
If you odemeter eads 11,000 miles when you reset and you have 19,000 to go until next oil service you will be servicing at 30,000 miles.
Thank you for your explanation. Very helpful.
thx~
