FSS Reset tool

Does anyone know where or if there is a tool to reset the FSS system on a 1999 E320. I do my own oil changes and would like to avoid going to the dealer to reset this system.[8)]

Here you go,,

Following a completed A or B service the Mercedes-Benz Center sets the counter mileage to 10,000 miles (Canada: 15,000 km) and 365 days.



The counter can also be set by any individual. To do so:



Turn the electronic key in steering lock to position 2. To call up the trip odometer and main odometer, press button 3 or 4 on the multifunction steering wheel until the display appears.



Press button 5 or 6 until the FSS indicator appears.



Press button 'R' on the instrument cluster for approximately 2 seconds.



The multifunction display will show the question:



'DO YOU WANT TO RESET SERVICE INTERVAL? - CONFIRM BY PRESSING R'



Press button 'R' on the instrument cluster again, and hold until a signal sounds. The message 'SERVICE INTERVAL HAS BEEN RESET' appears in the multifunction display.



The new service indicator is displayed with the reset distance of 10,000 miles (Canada 15,000 km).

Steve,

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it your help, however my car does not have the multifunction steering wheel. It is a plain steering wheel. Do you know how to reset the FSS under these circumstances? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I've tried to reset mine with those instructions, but have been unsuccessful. I may have a flawed FSS, or I may have to have it reset with a tool.

To Start, remove key, close the door, let the dome light go out and the instrument cluster shut down & then start the process.

Key on (position 2, all lights come on, engine NOT running)
PUSH the trip odometer reset button twice RAPIDLY, the time/distance remaining for FSS is shown.
PUSH button in and HOLD it in.
Turn key OFF (DON"T release the button!)
Turn key back to position 2....KEEP holding the button down!
You'll need to hold it down over 10 seconds, you'll hear the beep and 10000 will be the new display. DON'T release the button until you hear the beep, wait at least 15 seconds before deciding on giving up.

The sequence was exactly as described in the owners manual (Make sure you have the doors closed). The trip odometer button needs to be rapidly depress twice at the beginning of the procedure, rather than two deliberate but slower pushes.

I was not closing the doors and waiting for everything to go out before I started. That was not in my manual. I got it!


Thanks E-Klasse!
