Can someone tell me how to reset the service light on this car? My 94 non-turbo was done under the hood, but I understand this model is different. I have a OBD II tool if I need it for this. Thanks!

 

I'd be interested as well to find out if you can reset it on an 850R without the OBD tool.

 

Just a little fyi.....I called the local Autozone store, and the guy said the easiest way was to unhook the batt for about 10-15 mins. I did that, and it cleared, but when I shut it off, and turned it back on then, it came back on......so---I don't buy THAT fix.

 

Some of these you hold the instrument cluster odometer reset button for like 12 seconds with the key in the ON position

 

The 96 and 97 850 and 98 S70 all need a special tool to reset it.
Even the battery disconnect will not clear it.

 

So...short of buying the tool....dealer only? I suppose they charge out the wah-hoo to do it, too. Any other ideas?

 

Either way it will be some $$$$ if you want it off.

 

Well....since this is the son's car...and I am sure when he's done with it it will be salvage yard time...there is ONE other way, I suppose-----remove the darned bulb in the dash. I keep a written log when it's time for oilchanges, etc. anyway.

 

I dont know how to post a new question so im sorry i replied to yours with a question.

I live in boston mass and with the new systems if your check engine light is on I dont care if you know the pope you cant get a sticker.

I got a rejection sticker and failed emissions it gave 2 codes I think its the o2 sensor and converter but does anyone know how I can find out what the codes mean. they are p0442 and p1308.

please help me i have 59 days to fix the problem i need my car right now its in great condition except for that,

thank you so much.

 

P0442 - leak Diagnostic- Minor Leak
P01308 - I dont see it in the list....

Do you have any leaks in your exhaust system?

 

Sorry if you were closer I have the tool to reset it.

 

I have a 1995 R, how can I reset the service light?

 

Ok, I found it. This is what it says with my additions...
----------------------------------------------------
Open the hood and on the front side of the coolant res, you'll see the OBD-I connectors.

1. The one closest to the finder is the one I opened (took the cap off) and seen the plugs.
2. I pulled the wire that is stored in the cap, and placed it in the #7 hole.
3. Once in the hole, I turned on the ignition, did NOT start the car, just turned it on so all the warning lights were lit.
4. Went back to the connector and pushed the little button just forward of the plug 4 times.
5. Waited about 5 seconds then the little red light lit up.
6. Once the light was steady, I pushed the button once.
7. Waited 5 seconds and when it was steady I pushed the button again 5 times.
8. Once the light was steady I pushed it 1 more time.
9. After that, the little red light flickered several times and went out. That tells you it is reset.
10. I turned the car off, re-assembled the OBD-I connector, and that was it.

Hope these instructions helped. Sorry if they are very basic, I work with a lot of adults that need instructions for 10 year olds so I have a habit of givng the simple steps.

 

I took the bulb out of my 97. The reset procedure above works on the 95. The one on my 98 comes on everytime I start the car for about two minutes.
