I have changed oil recently. The other day this message came on when starting the van; "service expried". There is also a wrench symbol lit up on the dash at all times...

I read the manual and couldnt find anything about that in there.

  indicator system. The “Change Engine Oil” message will
  display in the EVIC display. The engine oil change
  indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the

  position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and
  release the MODE button. To reset the oil change indicator
  system (after performing the scheduled maintenance),
  refer to the following procedure.
  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (do not
  start the engine).
  2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly, three times
  within 10 seconds.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
  NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you
  start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not

It’s not the oil change light. It’s service expired and there is now a wrench on display! That is what the guy above me was trying to say as well ! That’s why I was wondering if he ever got the answer to his question! Thanks for trying!

Really?

Did you ever get the answer to you question. My light came on today and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it off. Not oil change the problem you had

any luck? Mine is on..

 

[Motherhubbard]

Really?

any luck? Mine is on..

No I cannot find anything on it ! Mine was right before 80k on the odometer. I believe it is a 80k service light for major service at the dealer. There must be a way to shut it off but I have not found it as of yet

 

[MsNomer]

There is no major service at 80,000. But did you service transmission a5 60,000?

 

[Motherhubbard]

No I did one better ! I replaced the whole thing when the motor fell out of the vehicle at 27000 miles and cracked the case took out the axels ruined the alternator and battery and more ! Dodge needed 2months to fix it and I don’t have 3 of them and needed it so I took it to an independent service garage and they got me back on the road in 4 days! 6500 dollars submitted it to dodge and they told me too bad! On defected bolts the they knew about and they still said too bad

 

[Doo to tha daa]

Wow! Never did care for dodge. Still don't but this is a company van it has 120k on it and I drive the heck out of it and have been for 2yrs but anyway this wrench is driving me nuts. Thanks for the reply man. I'm gonna request a Mercedes or ford for my next one .

 

[Dwight]

Spark plugs maybe? Due at 100,000

 

[el Jefe]

Mine too. 79,300 miles. Does this mean my engine/tranny might fall out going over I-10?

 

[208034/]

The axles should catch most of it not allowing it to hit pavement. You should be ok

 

[el Jefe]

Well possibly it could be might be something they left behind when they replaced the cams and rocker bearings twice within 300 miles of each other? Wonder what size wrench?

 

[KilWerBzz]

The wrench with lighting bolt is the HEV service light and what is the HEV service light "Hybrid Electric Vehicle" didn't know they made one for the PM.

 

[el Jefe]

Nope, not HEV on Promaster. Got it figured out today. Dealership had to contact STAR. It an emissions related notification that is programmed in the software as my cats and oxygen sensors were replaced 4k ago. Just another way to get you into the dealer to take $135.00 for a diagnostic fee. Will post pics of the invoice and particulars when I get a chance.
