This does not work on my 2015 Outlander.
After finally finding it in the vehicle manual, the ignition has to be off for this to work…not on or in acc. Hope that helps. FYI – for a 2015 Outlander service message reset.
Mine will beep but won’t say clear after the wrench is flashing. Ignition is all the way off. I tried it running, acc, and totally off. Any ideas?
When the wrench is flashing release the info button and then hold it down again. Also ensure the engine is not running.
Thank you very much for the correct information.
I’ve tried this several times and it never says “clear” it always says “NAS 10.” Why???? It’s driving me crazy.
did you ever figure it out, i;m trying and it’s not working for me… driveing me nits … LOL
