Does anyone know how to clear this indicator on a 2006 ML 500. This is a well guarded secret at Mercedes USA, and only the dealer will clear it with a complete A or B check, a real RIP OFF. The owners Manual says to call Mercedes and when you do they will tell you that's a mistake, they really don't mean it !!!!

Thanks

Has the required maint/inspections been done??

try to search this forum, but from what i remember its like you push the R button on the cluster 6x then a menu will display on the cluster then you scroll through it using the steering buttons until you reach the reset menu. Im not sure if you push the R button 6x or if you hold it for more than 6seconds.

Not sure about the '06, but here's how I do it on my '08.

1) Place Key in Position 1
2) Cycle cluster screen to Odometer
3) Push R button 3 times

Service menu should appear and then you can use the directional arrows and +- keys and page up/down keys to navigate. On mine, it shows the different types of services, such as A, B, etc. You select the service and then there's a commit process to actually save it to the computer. Hope that helps

This is how it works on a 2007. Don't know if it will work on a 2006 or not.

Thanks Dutch for all the info. There must be a glich in the 2006, it wont work, but then a lot of things wont work on a ML,What junk.

what doesent work on yours. if you dont want to take it to the dealer have it serviced maintained properly lots of stuff wont work and thats how cheep people like you bring a bad name to mercedes by saying everything breaks and makes noises its because you dun maintain it. these cars are high maintenance. if you treat the car right it will treat you right.:s mash:

My 2007 ML350 has 10K miles on it. I have replaced the oil myself 2 times. Now the computer says it's due for Service A in 2 days. I just changed the oil, reset the computer using the procedure posted by DUTCH. What I am seeing is slightly different than what is being posted by DUTCH. After getting more familiar with the service menu because some of the message is different, I was able to reset the computer. However it now says it is due for service C in 13,000 miles. What happens to service B? Anybody knows what is the interval for A, B and C?

sosh

Actually there are only 2 sevices; A and B. The C is an indication that certain items not called for in the B service are to be accomplished. The same goes for any other letters that appear in lieu of A or B. The service interval for all services is I believe 13000 miles or 1 year, which ever comes first.

added info, the star computer can program the service interval......mine was reprogrammed during predelivery inspection to 6000miles/1year given our local driving conditions and low mileage usage.

I have a 06 ML500 and need to reset the Maintenance Service Indicator. The post for the 07 and 08 do not appear to work on the 06. Pressing the reset button 3 times does nothing. Can anyone give me the procedure for the 06 ML500?

Replying to old thread but followed the instructions downloaded from post #5 and it worked like a charm on my 06 FYI.
