This DIY Guide is for “Gaydon era” cars, like the 2004+ DB9, 2005+ V8 Vantage, the Rapide, Virage, and others. If you have a later car like a DB11 or 2018+ Vantage, check my DIY Guide for “2nd Century” cars.
When the dealership does maintenance on your car, they reset the car's internal service interval clock. Basically, you'll get a message on the LCD readout in the gauge cluster that says "Time for Regular Service" to let you know when your 10k/annual maintenance is due. It looks like this:
Since we're doing our regular service ourselves, we'll have to clear this message on our own. Luckily, we don't need any special tools or software to do this and clearing it is pretty simple.
For the early console:
1) Put the key in the ignition in "Off" position.
2) Press and hold T1/T2 and Read buttons.
3) Continue to hold the T1/T2 and Read buttons while turning the key to the "On" position.
4) Wait for Triangle to blink 3 times, then release the T1/T2 and Read buttons.
Here's the updated console.
The T1/T2 button is next to my thumb. The Read button is across the radio display on the opposite side.
For the updated console:
1) Put the key (the "ECU") into the slot in Position 1.
2) Press and hold the T1/T2 and Read buttons.
3) Continue to hold the T1/T2 and Read buttons while you push the key into Position 2.
4) The warning triangle will blink, release the T1/T2 and Read buttons at the third blink.
The message should go away.
