  • 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.

  • I've tried this several times and it never says "clear" it always says "NAS 10." Why???? It's driving me crazy.
