On my GF's S-40 the SER- VICE Light is illuminated on the dash. Owners Manual says that its a reminder (750hrs or 12months) and that it will stay on for 2 minutes after start until reset by the servicing retailer. Well.....I don't know how to turn it off. Any hints? Volvord 784VC 10-02-2003, 06:03 PM I think you need a "service light reset tool" to turn off the light. I know iPd sells one for the 850/70 seires, give them a call. Here is the one for the 850 model http://www.ipdusa.com/ProductsCat.aspx?CategoryID=519&NodeID=4564&RootID=629 TLS 10-08-2003, 11:41 AM You mean that there is no way for a Volvo owner to "reset" this idiot light? Other than buying a $200 tool??? Will it reset by itself after so many hours/restarts/miles? JB-s70-t5er 10-08-2003, 03:26 PM There is def a way without buying the 200 dollar tool. Mine is on and hasn't gone off yet, and I've been driving with it on for like 3 weeks. It def has to be reset tho. I heard there is a button to do it somewhere, but I'm not sure where it is. I'm going to look all over the net tonight to find it and I'll post it if I have any luck. Volvord 784VC 10-08-2003, 04:07 PM Why not give iPd a call and ask if they know of a way to turn it off or if you need the tool, they will give you a straight answer V70 10-11-2003, 11:33 PM On my GF's S-40 the SER- VICE Light is illuminated on the dash.

Any hints?WITH THE KEY IN THE OFF POSTION PRESS THE TRIP ODOMTER BUTTON WITH YOUR LEFT HAND AND HOLD IT THEN THEN WITH RIGHT HAND TURN THE KEY TO POSTION 2 <DONOT START THE CAR> HOLD THE BUTTON TILL THE SERVICE LIGHT STARTS TO FLASH THEN RELEASE BUTTON THAT SHOULD GET IT TLS 10-16-2003, 10:09 AM Thank you very much V70 Knew it had to be some combination of buttons or whatever. GM uses the throttle pedal in some of its resets. BEERRUNNER740GLE 01-07-2004, 11:41 PM what about older models such as an 87 740? Stinchco 01-14-2004, 11:23 AM I have a '97 940 Wagon and you reset the service light by pressing a button in the dash. There is a rubber cover to the left of the trip meter. Remove it and push the button inside with a pen or small screwdriver. A mechanic friend of mine called Volvo to get the answer to that one.

I had a S70 once when the service light came on i just ignored it. babycarlover34 05-08-2008, 01:55 AM you should get the car (http://www.swedishpartsshop.com/volvoantenna.html) serviced. I had a S70 once when the service light came on i just ignored it. Maybe if you turn the engine off the service lights will shut down... :grinno: Related Links Enter the largest automotive community on the planet! |
