Saab 9-3 question

[Wayno]

Hi all I have a 2008 9-3 ttid. Had it a year, great car, no issues. Had it serviced a couple of months ago but the garage must not have reset the service indicator because as of last week every time I start the car it says 'time for service'...
Any idea how I get rid of this message?
Thanks, Wayne

the service indicator comes on when it needs a service.
I had mine done a couple of weeks ago.
it was reset but the system said 47% till next service, the car monitors and does this.
Mines now down7% to 40% due to a blast over to Monza and back.

Not sure if this will work on the 9-3, but this is how I reset mine on my old 9-5 TiD (2008):

kprm77 on another forum said:

Ignition on but car not started.

Foot on brake.

Press clear button and held until is said "SERVICE". Took about 10 seconds ish.

Took the key out and tried again, and now it's just saying "OK" (Or is it "Check OK"?)

Found this - looks different from the 9-5:

Very kind, thank you. Not going to get to it until the weekend but will let you know if it works...

Hi
I have my TTid serviced by a friend who works at a BMW specialist, and if I take the car in before the service indicator comes on, he can't reset the system either manually or with his computer.

However, he has provided me with a photo of the procedure which I have attached, hope this helps.

Will be doing mine tomorrow, he serviced the car a month ago, and it has just come on this week!

This works - thanks very much. By the way if anybody wants to buy a very good condition and full spec (recently serviced) ttid in black with 88k miles please pm me.
