DIY: How to Reset Volvo S70 V70 C70 Service Light

Video tutorial on how to reset the service light on your Volvo. This procedure applies to the Volvo S70, V70, and C70 between the years 1998 to 2000. This will light will illuminate in certain intervals to alert the driver that the vehicle is in need of an oil change. This particular vehicle I am working with here today is a 2000 Volvo S70.

Tools/Supplies Needed:
-none

Procedure:
-insert the key in the ignition but do not turn it yet
-press and hold the trip meter reset button
-while still holding the button, then turn the ignition to the run position or position number two
-once the service light flashes, release the button
-finally turn the ignition off
-now turn the ignition back on to ensure the light has been reset

sir i have a 1997 volvo S90 what is the process to turn off service light?

[TerminatedEfficiency]

Will this work on ‘98 s70? Is service light same as lambda light?

[tamerdundar]

hello 98 s70 does not work well? light does not flash =

[ancientsever]

Done this now like 4 times on my - 99 S70. Thanks alot dude (y)

This does not work on some 1998 Models. Some 1998 models require a tool to reset the service light. My S70 T5 needed a tool while this method worked on my old GLT.

My service light comes on for approximately 15-20 seconds every time I start up my 1998 S70 and then eventually disappears- is this what I should do to help re-set it? Will I still be able to believe the service light at other points- it feels a little like the boy who cried wold in car form... thanks for the help!

Brilliant just did this on my 2001 V70 2.4t. Thanks 👍

I did what was required, the service light blinked. When I turned the ignition off and then started the car, the light was still on. Any other recommendations? Thanks

Mine comes on 2 minutes after turning my car on and fades away. Should I reset it or go to the shop
