How to reset the service indicator

Does anyone know how to reset the service indicator.
Have now done 18k but had a service after 12 months and 12k but looks like garage never reset the service schedule in the computer. I don't want to go back to dealer just for that if it can be done at home.

If not a Fiat dealership they should pay to put indicator out as they quoted you for service.

Re: How to reset the service indicator

Update

Left car at the garage all day today. Picked car up only to be told their examiner computer had broken and needed to be returned to Italy for repair. Then told they would ring me when computer is fixed but would take a couple of weeks. Will i get that call or am i being fed bull and they just can not do it.
What is interesting is they have now been removed from the Fiat website as an authorised service centre.

So they're implying they only have one examiner and no backups?

Yes, they said they would have to cancel any outstanding diagnostic appointment they now have with other customers.

Get a friend to call them up asking for a booking (that needs the examiner) - then you can tell if they had lied to you or not.
