Methods:
* Using the Instrument Cluster: Many newer Dodge Sprinters allow resetting via the instrument cluster. This usually involves a combination of pressing and holding buttons on the steering wheel or instrument panel. Look for instructions in your owner's manual. The sequence typically involves navigating through the menus on the display until you find a "reset maintenance" or similar option.
* Using an OBD-II Scanner: A more universal method is using an OBD-II scanner. These tools can communicate with your Sprinter's onboard computer and reset the maintenance light. Many inexpensive OBD-II scanners are available at auto parts stores. Some even have specific instructions for resetting service lights for various makes and models. Connect the scanner, follow its prompts, and select the appropriate service light to reset.
* Turning the Ignition Key (Older Models): Some older models might use a simpler method. This often involves turning the ignition key on and off a specific number of times within a short period. This is not reliable and is only mentioned because it was a method for some older vehicles. Again, your owner's manual is the best resource.
Crucially, consult your owner's manual: Your owner's manual will provide the exact procedure for your specific Dodge Sprinter model year. This is the most reliable and accurate source of information. The manual will outline the steps to follow, preventing potential errors.
If you cannot find the information in your owner's manual, you can try:
* Searching online: Search online for "[Your Sprinter Year and Model] reset maintenance light" to find tutorials or forum discussions.
* Contacting a Dodge dealership: They can provide the correct procedure for your vehicle.
Important Note: Resetting the maintenance light should only be done *after* you've performed the necessary maintenance (oil change, filter replacements, etc.). Ignoring scheduled maintenance can damage your vehicle.
