>From: Dave Imme <dimme_at_communique.net> Refer to the BMW Service indicator lights FAQ: (http: //cbsgi1.bu.edu/bmw/sil.html) Additionally, the following was borrowed from the Alldata CD: DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The service indicator cluster indicates when periodic service is required. It consists of 5 green, 3 red (1 red from 1986), 1 yellow LED, and two indicators inscribed OIL SERVICE and INSPECTION. When the ignition switch is turned to the "On" position, as many as 5 green LEDs will be illuminated. The green LEDs will go out when the engine is started. If the yellow LED and one of the indicators illuminate with the ignition switch in the On position, and remain "On" after the engine has started, perform the service indicated immediately. When a periodic service interval has been exceeded by 1000 miles or more, a red LED will light as well as the yellow LED as a reminder for service. After completing the required service, the Service Indicator can be reset as follows: NOTE: BMW special tool is required to reset the Service Indicator System. Aftermarket reset tools can also be purchased from various tool manufacturers. RESET PROCEDURE Turn "Off" all accessories and place the ignition switch in "On" position, engine not operating. Position reset tool No. 62-1-100 and adapter No. 62-1-142 or equivalents, if necessary, into diagnostic connector. OIL SERVICE To reset indicators after performing an engine oil and filter change, depress and hold YELLOW OIL SERVICE BUTTON of reset tool. Green function control lamp should be illuminated. After approximately 10 seconds, the yellow lamp should illuminate for approximately 3 seconds and then turn "Off". Release tool oil service button, then check instrument panel LEDs. All green LED's should be "On" and red and yellow LEDs and the OIL SERVICE indicator should be "Off", however, mileage memory will continue to accumulate for the INSPECTION service. INSPECTION To reset indicators after performing an inspection procedure, depress and hold RED INSPECTION BUTTON of reset tool. Green function control lamp should be illuminated. After approximately 3 seconds, the red lamp should illuminate for approximately 12 seconds and then turn "Off". Release tool inspection button, then check instrument panel LEDs. All five green LEDs should be "On" and red and yellow LEDs and the INSPECTION indicator should be "Off". Mileage memory will be cleared.
