Help! obd software

ANDARIAL · 16 Apr 2016 at 15:52

Got a ELM 327 usb reader from the bay a few years ago
It came with a load of free software,mostly crap that did not run
Did get one app to work but can`t remember what it was

So to the point
Looking for a free bit of software to turn off the service light on my Ford Transit MK7,its not due yet and I have it serviced every year(garage must have forgot to reset it)

Any help please as it is getting annoying now
Oh and W7 on my lappy 32 bit if that makes a difference

Switch on ignition but don't start
Press throttle & brake fully and hold until service light flashes
Switch off ignition

Outstanding.Give that man a cookie
Took a few goes to get it to work but cleared that annoying light now
Will give the garage a reminder to cancel the service light at next service in a about 2 months
Cheers again

If you're running an Android device, TORQUE is pretty good. The Pro version is only about £3 too.

Although it can't disable service lights.

Not off the bat no, I forgot I downloaded one of the optional packs for my old Fiat.
