what exactly does this do

[dmoney(AB)]

hey guys, I came accross this on ebay and am considering buying it. My inspection light is always on and i just had it serviced so i know it should be off, I didnt take the car to the bmw dealer to get serviced so the lube shop never turned the light off. Does this little thing allow you to turn off the lamp?

thanks guys

The warning light(inspection,oil) can be erased for yourself
even if not going to the maintenance shop

That is what it says, I am pretty sure that it will turn it off. You are probably going to look up codes for different things but you should be able to find them online. This is my guess but I know someone else knows more.

I use a wire with a fuseable link from an old stereo power wire, just in case I accedentally short the wrong pins. the fuse will blow instead of something else. definitely don't pay somebody to do it or waste $100 on a reset tool.
