Part of my gig is writing a "my car goes clunk" advice column for a local paper.
A reader wrote in regarding a 2017 Mercedes E300 4M with a broken steering wheel button that prevents performing the service reset through the car's cluster. His question is: can it be reset through other means, such as a scan tool (factory or otherwise)?
He was told that steering wheel replacement was required to get the button (+$$$!); I've confirmed that the switch itself is available from M-B (but still several hundred dollars...).
My Autel scan tool shows "Oil reset" as an option if I manually enter the vehicle, but of course not having the car to plug into, I have no idea if it would actually work. Can anyone here confirm or disprove that it is possible to reset ASSYST PLUS through a scan tool?
