Robbie Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hi folks, does anyone know how to get rid of the spanner symbol on the binnacle on Fiat. When I had it serviced by Brownhills Last year it disappeared, but after a "home service" it is still on. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Way2Go Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I would imagine it could be something to do with resetting the chip? It may well be that Brownhills did and the other guy didn't or know how to?I drive a Saab that does the same thing. When its serviced the chip gets reset and it counts down the next 12,000 miles.

michele Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Not sure but you I think have to have it plugged into a computer for it to talk with the EMU Although this rings a bell and I'm sure I have seen this request before. Perhaps one for our Dave good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest machra Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 If this is the pre-facelift, 2003ish, then it tells you how to get rid of the symbol in the owners manual. You have to turn the ignition on while pushing the odo reset or something similar. I had the same trouble but have since changed the van for a Transit based so am unable to give you any further info - sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonybvi Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I had the same problem the other day but managed to remove the icon on my late 2005 model Ducato by the following method as shown in the handbook: Turn ignition key to MAR (ie first position) Press the odometer button (lower right of rev counter) for about 10 seconds Display should now show the spanner symbol and either CFG1,CFG2 or CFG3. Pressing the odometer button briefly cycles through CFG1, 2 and 3 Once the correct one is showing press the odometer button for about 5 seconds CFG1, 2 and 3 are for different service intervals as follows: CFG1 30000km for normal vehicle use CFG2 20000km for severe use CFG3 15000km for heavy vehicle use I set mine to CFG1 Hope this works - good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rees Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 We have a Fiat Ducato first registered Jan 2004 and have had the same problem with the spanner icon. Thanks, TONYBVI for enlightening us on how to remove this symbol. I followed your instructions and did the job - at least! May I suggest a few additional comments? 1. Follow your instructions exactly. 2. In my case, it was necesary to keep pressing the odometer button for more than 10 secs. until the service intervals appear. 3. It seems that the service intervals only appear when you continue pressing the button with the total mileage on display (not when the trip counter shows) 4. Like you, I selected CFG 1 (normal usage - appropriate for most motorhomes); and pressed for about 5 secs or until the service interval disappears. 5. Then switch off by turning the key back. 6. When the engine is restarted by turning the key, each time the spanner appears briefly and then it disappears. Hurrah!! Many thanks for very helpful instructions.
