Hey guys, I am reasonably mechanically inclined but this one has me scratching my head.............

1997 850AWD Turbo 5 speed, upgraded high output turbo and reprogramed ECM, car runs well, when I start the car the service engine light comes on, stays on for 1 or 2 minutes and goes out, car runs fine, plugged in code reader, no codes.....

Any ideas? Thanks.

 

thats the reminder to change the oil. comes on every 5000 miles

 

Oil and filter etc was done less then a week ago, does something need to be reset? Thanks for the response....BTW....

 

Just follow IPDs video. It's pretty simple. It's too bad that you have to have a reset tool for your year model. Just find your nearest Volvo dealer and see if they will do it.

 

Thanks for that, I must have missed the info in my search....

 

taking out the instrument cluster and removing the service reminder bulb from the back also solves this problem nicely.

 

I have to replace the odometer/trip gear at some point so this is probably my best route......thanks for the suggestion..........

 

Removing the bulb IS the solution.
