Mine, I did 1K maintenance...no wonder there is some improvement on fuel efficiency. Before that full tank around 400-420. Now more than that. Must be the reset probably CVTF...  tongue.gif    biggrin.gif

I thought CVTF stands for CVT Fluid? As far as what I found out, what they are resetting is the service reminder odometer reading, and that does not really affect your engine or the cvt settings or memory.

Resetting ECU smart learning memory would probably involves disconnection of battery or fuse to cut the power from the respective microchips.

For those who wants modulo insight, browse this website.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1522650

Attach photo is my insight modulo installation. LED is add on.... Price RM$1,900...with LED

The LED only come ON when open door and follow the light timing inside the car.... They open the bottom compartment (driver seat) and open up a wire to attach the LED wire together. That's how it follow the light timing inside the car.

Second photo is the LED Sensor light for the trunk. Very useful. Light on base on movement even when you open the boot. Didn't know ACE is selling it (RM$59). Bought another one earlier which is manual on light LED call DOT IT.

DIY again for the Bootlight for Insight. The doublesided tape doesn't last long. I use cable tie. Works great. Since it is working, I put double bootlight. tongue.gif

Attach photo on how to DIY. Doesn't scratch the plastic, don't worry. tongue.gif Need some drilling on the plastic hole(light) so that cable tie can pass thru. If you can fine the small one(cable tie) that will work... rclxms.gif

Since I bought the wrong LED (DOT-IT), might as well use it as backup. Just that it is manual push... tongue.gif

respect you on this DIY mode...

I found out our boot lamp is able to have on original position just like other country insights does... The Lens Cover is cost RM 78 as I check from one of the Service Center... The procedure to get it done :

1) Lens Cover cost RM 78
2) Ask technician to bring the wire
3) Drill big hole to put the Lens Cover
4) Put LED
5) Job Done

I noticed after the CVT reset, I can feel smoother drive. Less jerking and the battery seem easily charged.
