    Has anyone figured out a way to bypass a trip to the dealer to clear the "Service Vehicle In xx Days" message? I keep seeing they have to clear it with some WY scan tool? It seems it's separate from the oil life counter. Since I work in a GM dealership shop, I refuse to wait around and pay somebody to change my oil just to have the message cleared when I can do it myself for free at work. Especially since I'm already about to scissor kick the dipshit advisor at my Jeep dealer in the head after 1 terrible visit. Can I just pull power from the IPC for a while to clear the memory?

    I've seen/read two things.

    The FCA dealers have their own special diagnostic tool the hook up to the OBDii port, click through a few menus and check boxes, and it gets cleared. You have to really push for them to do it.

    Other people have said/experienced noted that it will clear on its own.

    Personally, i have never seen any kind of service reminder pop up in my Renegade.

    I guess I'll just wait the 12 more days to see what happens then. I'll buy the FCA license for our scan tool at work before I pay the ding dongs at my Jeep dealer to do it. After a week & a half of waiting, they didn't even know my part they had to order had come in. They told me it was because the last name in the computer was entered with just the first letter capitalized and not all the letters so their system wouldn't find any results when they searched. So they're either blowing smoke up my butt or they have a system so jacked up I can't imagine how anything gets done efficiently.
