Practical order
The free motorcycle mechanics course on this platform teaches the same diagnostic habit before buying tools, software, tuning parts or miracle boxes.
Oil and filter are done. I tried the usual button routine twice and it still complains.

If the bike or car already has modified parts, say so early. Nobody wants to diagnose a mystery built by the previous owner.

Yes. Intermittent faults need even better notes. When it happens, what temperature, what voltage, what load, what speed and what warning appeared. For opel vivaro b service indicator cannot be reset, pattern beats panic.
That is helpful. I will collect data and stop trying to solve it from a single vague symptom.
