Reset the Oil Service Light, Service Warning Light, Service Mileage, Service Intervals & Airbag Warning Light!

here is the link for the tool

Just askin'....have you bought one? The website information lists is function as "reset air bag light" for V70 and has no listing at all for S60 which makes little sense to me as the mechanicals and I suspect the electricals are virtually identical as far as I know. Does it also reset the oil change light?

Actually, my "lights" are the computer messages. Does it work on models so equipped?

The airbag service was one of those "surprise" things that got me po'd most cars have no airbag service intervals at all. While mine's an 06 so I have until 2016 to hit the 10 year interval, there is no way I'm paying to replace all the air bags in what will then be a 10 year old car. Nor do I want to be nagged every time I start the car and threatened with imminent death by a warning message.

they had a reset tool on the site that sold for $197 which was for the s60 model.....you don't have to pay to replace your airbags just reset the module that is giving you this message, in addition you don't have to worry about the airbags deploying..my message came on when I blew a dash fuse which operated my entire dash tach, temp, fuel, a/c, turn signals(inside they worked outside the car) so all you need to do is reset the airbag module...google reset tool for volvo s60 and it will give you sites that sell reset tools for your car they work for the s60 from the years 2000-2009 good luck I hope this helps
