Hello all, I just signed the papers on a '05 SRT6 with 10,000 miles on it and I have a question about the FSS system.

I have done alot of reading and searching on here but I am confused.

Some people refer to going a certain amount of miles then the wrench symbol showed up and some posts seem to imply the wrench is always there and it counts down how many miles until you need service.

The reason I ask if the SRT6 I signed the papers on is displaying one wrench and had something like 5,800 miles on it. I believe this means it's counting down until it hits zero then I will have to have a Service A done.

Is this correct or is it 5,800 miles over its service?

Thanks for your help!

The car was a B-day present to myself! Damn good birthday present if you ask me!

 

Congrats!! What color model did you get, where, how much $$.

 

Correct...one wrench means service schedule "a" I believe.
The FSS counts down miles until it's time for an oil change...It displays the FSS miles when the car starts, or when you push the little button next to it twice quickly.

One thing to note...the FSS miles are not "real" miles...it's not impossible to drive 500 miles and only see a 300 mile change in the FSS miles. It all has to do with the type of driving conditions, and the type of driver!

 

I have another thread on here about the FSS. Mine is stuck at 6,200 and I tried the reset procedure numerous times with no luck. Any ideas?

 

Yep, take it to the dealer, get them to fix it.

 

I suppose I'd try to pull the battery cable, and leave it off for a half hour or so and see what that does before I took it to the dealer.

 

Got it to work finally.
