If you have both keys, you should be able to reset the code with the instructions you posted.

I remember to this day, the experience of open top gliding, back when I was around a 16yr old in the ATC. Must have been a Slingsby T21 'cos I remember side-by-side, though I do recall being in what was likely a Kirby Cadet.
On rare subsequent soaring it was enclosed  - excellent but not quite the same; sometimes via tow and others by winch.

General Discussion / 2008 Norge SERVICE Light & CODE...?

« Last post by radguzzi on January 08, 2026, 07:55:21 PM »

I have a recently acquired 2008 Norge, 30k miles.  I have begun the procedure of start up maintenance, oil and filter, clean the pan etc. 
When warming the oil for draining the dash shot this Red Triangle light and the SERVICE light appeared. 
 
Well I have no Owner's Manual but I do have the pdf Service Station Manual.  I also do not have the CODE to enter into the dash.  The previous owner does not have either the manual or the Code and I have a message into him to ask if could contact the original owner with the hopes that he has it.

The "Resetting the CODE" description below seems to need more than I can provide.  

How do I go about entering a CODE and resetting the Red Triangle to make that go away...?  

I was able to figure out that the Mode Multi Function Switch to access the Diagnostics but that is as far as I can get.

Appreciate any help here. 
Thanks,
Rob 

From the Service Manual...

Diagnosis

Changing the CODE

If you know the code, just enter it and then a new code that will be automatically stored in the memory.

If the vehicle is new, the user code is: 00000 Resetting the CODE This function is used to set a new code when the old one is not available; in this case, at least two of the programmed keys have to be inserted in the ignition lock.

After the first key has been inserted, the second one is requested with the following message:INSERT KEY II 
If the second key is not inserted within 20 seconds, the operation is finished.

After recognizing the second key, the new code is required with the message:ENTER NEW CODEOnce the operation is finished, the instrument panel goes back to the SET-UP menu. 

DIAGNOSIS
Access to this menu (diagnosis functions), for the technical service only, after requesting a service code. 
It will read: ENTER THE SERVICE CODE the code is: 28315 

The functions in this menu are 
• Exit 
• ECU errors 
• Instrument Panel Errors 
• Delete errors 
• Reset Service 
• Update 
• Change Keys

General Discussion / Re: Odyssey Battery Warning

« Last post by Kev m on January 08, 2026, 06:33:43 PM »

Amazon’s stated policy for this product is 30 days return to them and after that the item should be returned to the manufacturer. I owned this battery for 8 months so under their policy, this was my problem. According to Odyssey, this battery was bought from them in 2024 and it has a two year warranty so maybe Amazon sends the battery back to them as they are the ones who purchased it from Odyssey?  Obviously, Odyssey knows that Amazon, not exactly a small business is buying their product and have probably encountered this problem before, so why not include them as an authorized dealer? Can’t be cost as what I paid for the battery and what it cost directly from Odyssey is a minimal difference and had I known this was an issue I would have bought one from them or NAPA,etc.

Anyway it’s a done deal.

With your certainty you're missing everything I'm trying to tell you from having been an OEM in this industry.

Trust me, your conclusions aren't certain as they rely on too many assumptions, that's all.

But you're right it's over so we can move on.

That could equally mean they've never had a problem but we're willing to stand behind their policy because that's what they do and it's less likely for them to receive pushback since defects will sometimes occur.

Look I don't blame you for being missed with Odyssey and I'm not happy with their attitude, but I don't think your conclusion is proven.

Actually it could also be the retailer that is eating this and not Odyssey.
