Vauxhall Corsa INSP service light

Lopéz · 6 Oct 2008 at 12:09

Alright dudes

One of the birds in work has a '54 Corsa and the INSP light comes on every time she starts it. She has had a quote from Vauxhall to do a service including new plugs for £250 and they will extinguish the light at the same time.

Now, I have never paid for a service in my life but I think £250 sounds a bit steep and she'd be better off going to an indy. But she's a woman and the most important thing to her is getting the light sorted out

Any way of manually resetting this? Or is it doable with a pretty standard reader/comm port that most garages will have?

Cheers!

I think it's pressing and holding the button on the odometer as you start the car.

most cars have a manual override procedure

My citroen picasso you pressed the trip computer setup button while starting the car and it reset it. Quick google should reveal the result hopefully. Off to search for you now.

Just had to do this on my mums, had the service and they didnt reset the light:

put your key in ignition but dont turn it
hold your milage reset button until INSP shows (around 5 seconds)
turn your key in ignition but dont start car, INSP _ _ _ _ will show
press the brake pedal and it will reset to insp 19000
turn key back to off and there u go

Not sure if anyone knows but you can reset your service inspection lamp on your Vectra C, Astra H and Corsa C & D with out the aid of any diagnostic tools.
Simply press the trip reset button on the dash at the same time press the brake pedal then switch on the ignition, keep brake and trip pressed for 10 to 12 seconds and hey presto its done!! If you already knew that i will go back and crawl into my shell

Ive found another alternative

Vauxhall 1999 onwards

Turn Ignition Off
Hold Trip Reset In
Turn Ignition On
Still Holding Trip Reset wait for three dashes
Turn off Ignition
Turn on Ignition to confirm

One of us has got to be right. Try them all

This.
I have an '03 Corsa and this gets rid of it. No pressing of the brake required.

This also works on 52 plates.

Best to check if is needing serviced because it's a common problem with the INSP warning coming on even when it's not due.
