Re-setting mfa?

Post by buggerrit »

This is prob a stupid question but how do you reset the
mpg/mph etc readings?
Got myself an injected scala last night so would like to know
what sort of mpg I'm getting.

If you want to just reset the stats then holding the slide toggle switch (0,1,2) for the Reset settings (Reset, short journey & overall journey respectively) should reset these figures.

Have a look on the MFA stalk you will see the numbers 0, 1 and 2 written. Slide and hold the switch either to the left or the right to get to 0 and hold it there for a approximately 6 seconds.

However I've found this doesnt work on my car.

The alternative way of resetting the MFA completely (including time etc) is to remove fuse 3 from the fuse box for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute.

HOWEVER please be aware this will lose all your stereo presets and the time on your clock (it powers the memory stores for these devices) and in addition your internal lights etc will be off during the procedure.

Hope this helps!
