Reset service indicator for 987 PORSCHE boxster?

Answer 1

I found several sites that suggest holding down the trip odometer button for 10 seconds while turning on the ignition, holding down the clock set button for 10 seconds while turning on the ignition. None work. I found two solutions that work.

1. Take it to the dealer. If you are asking on an answer forum, chances are you either service the car yourself or use a trusted service station. I use the latter because my nearest Porsche dealer is a long way away. 2.Purchase the Porsche diagnostic software from Durametric. You will get a cable and instructions to download the software. If you don't have a laptop, it will be a pain in the behind. Check their website to make sure your pc is compatible. Once installed, you can reset the service now indicator. It is in the Instrument Cluster section. I first purchased this software because my Boxter S loves to drain the battery if I forget to plug it into the trickle charger. That causes the airbag light to come on. Durametric can clear all error codes and test most functions of the ECU.
