how to reset service indicator light on porsche cayenne

get it serviced

You're probably gonna have to take it to a garage for that. They can hook it up and find out why the light came on, and reset it.

This is also happening to my porsche cayenne too. it says now service but its only 10k miles when service is every 20k miles. still have not sent it to the dealership to reset it the first time this happened to me just do to the porsche dealership.

Hi,

l would strongly recommend that u check the oil level in the engine before u continue to drive the vehicle.

Service lights r there to warn u about various system faults in the engine. It could be related to low oil level, low coolant level, & some many other sensors that will trigger the service light to come on. If u have the time l would recommend a trip to ur local Porsche dealer. If u know that the oil is due to be changed, then have it done.

As far as resetting the service engine light the dealer uses sophisticated computer equipment to trouble shout & read engine faults. This is done through the OBD I l connection which is located either on the right side or the left side under the steering wheel.

If u do not want to visit the Porsche dealer there is a device available on the market, which l use on my Porsches, called ''Actron OBDI l Auto Scanner'' Model No. CP9135, this unit plugs into the cars OBD I l socket & it will read all the fault codes from ur engines DME computer. If it is a simple fault code that u can fix, this unit will allow u to reset the light, however, if it sounds serious please do not attempt to reset the code, it is recommended that u visit ur Porsche dealer for troubleshooting the problem.
