How to Reset an Oil Light in 2004 BMW 530I
- 1). Get in the driver's seat and insert the key into the ignition. Turn the key to the "ON" position.
- 2). Locate the reset button located at the top left side of the instrument cluster. Depress and hold for 10 seconds. A four line menu will appear on the speedometer display. The first line is the "BACK" function followed by three service and maintenance items. An "0" symbol next to the service means that particular function cannot be reset at this time. An "!" means it can be reset. This is to prevent prematurely resetting a service. The system will not allow a reset during the first 20 percent of service.
- 3). Locate the lower axial FAS reset button on the turn signal high beam switch. Use it to scroll through the maintenance and service items. Select the "Oil Service" to reset.
- 4). Depress the reset button for a few seconds to display a two line menu on the tachometer display. The "Back" function will be listed on the first line, and the reset function will be listed on the second line. Use the axial button to select the "Oil Service." Depress the reset button again to reset the selected maintenance procedure. A third menu line will confirm a successful reset.
- 5). Log the date, mileage and service performed for future reference.
