This is our first Volvo and I hear that V70's used to require a special tool to reset the light, but you can do it manually on the '02 V70. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

It took me a couple of trys, but it finally worked. I may not have been doing the steps fast enough or something, but I kept experimenting and now the message is gone. For those of you that need a good challenge, the first several times I tried the message center said: "045". Any ideas? Oh well, I'm just happy it worked. MANY THANKS!!!

The reset procedures for 01 are similar but slightly different for 02. Look at your odometer/trip meter display. You will note the text "T 1" or T 2" There are 2 trip meter modes, and to toggle between T 1 andd T 2, you press the trip reset button briefly. That said, it must be in T 1 to reset the service reminder. Start with the key in the accessory position. Press and HOLD the trip reset button and wait for the mileage to reset to zero. While still holding the button, switch the ignition to the run position, and watch for the previously displayed mileage to return. When it returns, release the reset button, and switch off the ignition. Service reminder is now reset.

Wouldn'tcha know? How much quirkier can they make stuff? Jeeez.

This works on my 01, should work on your 02?
