   TOPDON Phoenix Lite 2 is equipped with maintenance services to be very beneficial for technicians and mechanics working in the automotive repair industry.

4. OIL (Maintenance Light Reset)
   This function enables you to reset the oil service lamp for the engine oil life system, which calculates an optimal oil life change interval depending on the vehicle driving conditions and weather events.
   It needs to be performed in the following cases:

  * If the service lamp is on, run car diagnostics first for troubleshooting. After that, reset the driving mileage or driving time, so as to turn off the service lamp, and enable a new driving cycle.
  * If you have changed the engine oil or electric appliances that monitor oil life, you need to reset the service lamp.
2.  **ETS (Throttle Matching)**  

This function can utilize the car decoder to initialize the throttle actuator so that the learning value of the ECU returns to the initial state. By doing so, the movement of the throttle (or idle motor) can be more accurately controlled, thus adjusting the intake volume.
