Service light on startup 850 1995

Hi,

At 80,404 miles I started my '95 855t and the service light stayed on for a couple of minutes (or 1/2 mile?) then went out. I had just run up the street on an errand and when I got back into the car to return, the same thing happened.

I have the reset procedure for the service light but do I need to wait until it's on permanently before resetting?

BTW, I reset the check engine light for a 02 code 300 miles ago and it hasn't come back.

Thanks,

That's the way it works. It'll never come on and stay on. If you do the reset procedure it'll go away for 5000 miles on a Turbo or 7500 on a NA.
