Error codes: Technician @ dealership having difficulties resetting the service indicator...(more)

I just brought my car to Rector for scheduled maintenance and got a call from the service manager asking me if I chipped the car or made any modifications to the engine. Of course I said "Uh, no." It's a good thing I swapped out my Forge DV and put the OEM DV back in. Anyway, the service manager said that the technician keeps getting kicked out when he tries to reset the Service Indicator...After 3 tries, he was finally able to get in and do the reset. He said that the service indicator "might" tell me that the next service is due sooner than it really is. He faxed me the error codes, please tell me if this has anything to do with the Forge DV. here it is exactly as I got it:

8N1920930C KOMBI+WEGFHRS. M73 D24
Coding 06244

Any ideas?

The DV has nothing to do with the electronics in the car.

it is a mechanical part, no wires are connected to it. Don't worry about it.

Reset mine a few days ago. The only thing...

I had trouble with is doing it fast enough. From what I can tell it only gives you a few seconds to twist the left button. Then I also found that you have to turn the button rather firmly. Took me a few tries, but it works.

I know what your problem is...

you're dealing with an idiot. Need to enter the value 0 five times in the channel #2 slot only. Channels 43 & 44 are not to be programmed.

Come on John, maybe the Tech was absent from class that day . . .

it does happen. I missed many a class in school and still to this day have some trouble not only tieing my shoes, but also playing well with others. lol
