- The difference between an OIL reset and an INSPECTION reset is just in
- the length of time the 2 pins are shorted (really just grounding 1 pin).
- The INSPECTION reset takes a few seconds longer than the OIL reset.
- Your symptoms seem like the classic ones for a bad NiCad battery in the
- service indicator board. The dealer will want to replace the whole board
- for $300.00 or so. There was another article in the Roundel (the
- magazine of the BMW Car Club of America, for you non-members) in the
- past year which described how to replace the NiCad batteries. You have
- to remove the instrument cluster and unsolder the old batteries--it's
- not that hard to do.
