Thanks for your help.

 

No problem any time

 

I just ordered a Service Light Reminder Reset Tool for my 1998 Volvo S70 for about $53 (£28.04). The price is dependent on the exchange rate. If anyone is interested here is the tool info: 69007 - DRAPER EXPERT QUALITY SERVIC INDICATOR TOOL - VOLVO. I ordered the tool from Justoffbase Tools UK http://www.justoffbase.co.uk/s.nl/sc....A/id.15747/.f You will need to e-mail them prior to your order if you need shipping to the U.S. They (Tina) will provide you with instructions to e-mail them again once you place the order so that they may amend your order accordingly (charge you the correct shipping rate). They have two shipping choices:

- £9.00 (approx $17) no insurance or guarantee of delivery
- £24.89 (approx $47) by EXPD courier

I chose to be a risk taker and pay the cheaper shipping. I will post again once I receive the tool.

 

Sounds good let me know how it works.

 

The DRAPER Service Light Reset Tool just arrived today. Perfect timing as I just changed the oil. I followed the instructions and 20 seconds later the light is now reset. The tool also is smaller than I thought it would be. It is about the size of a garage door opener. Now I can use the Service Light Reminder for its intended purpose, instead of cursing Volvo for this type of design when I do my own oil change.

 

Good im glad you are happy with it.

 

Will this method (trip reset) workon my 2000 model? If same to 99 model, Can you lead me where is the trip reset button? Thanks.

 

I found the trip reset button on my dash and it work on my 2000 model. Thanks

 

I changed the oil/filter in my V70 last weekend and wasn't sure how to reset the SRI until I read this. Thanks!!!

 

I have a 98 S70 and this doesn't seem to work. Is there something different on the 1998 S70?

 

The 1998's you need a reset tool to reset the light.

 

What about the 1997 S70 T5, do I also need the service light reset tool to fix it or just use the trip reset method?

P.S. what else can the service light reset tool can do?
Thanks!

 

You will need to the tool.
Most service light reset toosl will only reset the light.

 

No such thing as a 97 S70 (in the U.S. anyway). However, as TECH notes you need the reset tool for a 97 850 as well.

 

i tried this on my 98 s70 t5 and no cherry. . .the light does not flash ,nor does it reset. does this not work on 98's? is it perhaps because i've recently reset my codes? Is there another way to do this on 98's? thanks in advance

 

Do you have to pay over $100.00 for the tool just to reset the light ??? If so i'll just take it to the Dr. in Huntington Beach again for my next service...

 

If the service light coming on for about a minute every time you start the car bothers you that much, take the bulb out. That's what I did on my 97 when I had the instrument cluster out to repair the oddometer. Now it will never come on again.

 

No the light doesn't bother me that much, i was just wondering. Thanks for the reply...

 

I would not take the dash apart just to remove the bulb either. My light comes on in my 98 and I don't even notice it any more. If I had the dash apart for some other reason I would remove the bulb though like I did on the 97.

 

sooooo...anything newer than a 98 would not need this special tool to reset?
