so my car got the inspection 1 done and the little green lights did not reset to the normal full green bars, it is in fact still on the yello.
any idea what I can do? I alredy used the reset tool but that did not reset the lights. My mechanic tells m that the issue is with the PC oard in teh back and that only the dealer can reset that pc board....
Help!

Seems there was a recent thread about resetting the lights yourself. I don't remember if a code reader was necessary, but I don't think it was. Some people were concerned that unscrupulous owners could reset the lights just before the car is sold making it look like it had a full service. Maybe someone has the link to that thread (I am not too good at searching either!).

Jerry

the issue with the pc board was common on older cars, e28's and e30's. I haven't heard of it occuring with an e39. Which reset tool did you use? and yes there is a procedure to reset the SII without a tool, using the buttons on the bottom of the dash. I think Greg posted it.

EDIT: Hey, look down at the bottom of this page, under "Similar Threads" first one, by greg, how to reset your SII.
