Default "Service" light on dash 1998 V70 - 08-07-2003 , 03:39 PM






Posted recently. Received this advice to reset Service light on dash (
Thank you Bob Noble) ...
turn key to position 1
push and hold trip odometer button
turn key to position 2
hold button for 10 seconds.
'service' light will blink.
within 5 seconds turn key off and release button.

This has not worked. Car is 1998 V70 Torslander. Any other codes that I can
try?

Euro car parts sell a tool for resetting this light. It costs £59 plus VAT.
I have often thought about buying one and advertising to reset them for
other people for, say, a fiver. It'd undoubtedly soon pay for itself.
That sort of thing would be fine for me, until something went wrong, and it
caused a problem somewhere. Main dealers can obviously charge what they like
for sorting ECU faults.

Part number for Euro tool is : 400 66 0031.
They also do a tool kit which included 3 resetting tools for
Volvo/Volkswagen-Audi/BMW.
This kit costs £179 + Vat, and is part number 400 77 0020.
You may have trouble finding the tool listed on their website. Mail them,
and they'll send you a catalogue.
If you buy a tool, and you live anywhere near peterborough, please come and
reset my service light. I'll pay a fiver!!
