I have a 1996 850 T5. It does not have a button under a cap in the display & the OBDII reader is under the coin tray. My service light comes on when I first start up & goes of after a couple of minutes. I read somewhere that a service light is an instant MOT fail. Q1 do they fail it if the light goes off after a period of time? Q2 Can I reset it with the DIY code reader as explained by JOD Spiro. Q3 If so can anybody tell me the procedure please. This is urgent as the MOT is tomorrow!!!! BTW I have recently done a service so this is just a reminder.
