i drive 98 s70 glt and my service light came on the other day. i was just wondering if i got something to worry about and wat are somethings that i have to check so they are in good condition or not. and by the way i got 143 miles on it

 

Service light comes on every 5k in miles. I call it the "Oil change light".... That's different fromt the CEL... I would say have it reset if you use a Stealership for oil changes or if you use a independent Volvo shop... Other wise it shuts off after 30 seconds, I believe..

 

yea it shuts off after like 2 min or so. but i change oil myself. im just gonna go to a dealer and shut it off there

 

I think you can turn off the service light yourself by moving the key between positions. Search the forums and I'm sure somethings out there.

 

Sorry, I forgot you had an S70. You don't need the stealer fo anything . You can do it your self..

 

here you go. here's the sequence for that. The procedure is:

1. Press and hold Trip Odometer reset button
2. Turn ignition key to run position KPII(not the start position)
3. Wait 30 seconds or until service light begins blinking
4. Release Trip Odometer button
5. Turn ignition to off position

 

--------------------------
That doesn't work on the '98 S70... '98's the "bastard" year that you can't reset yourself, and can't program a key fob yourself, either.

 

I actually meant... you have to have a special tool to turn it off. They cost about $150 or so, and most will also read ABS codes, too

 

yes exactly. i did one of those "do it ur self things" but it didnt work, so i went to my mechanic and he told me that i cant do this to 98 models. but i called to a local volvo dealer and they told that they can turn it off for free

 

ok they turned the light off, everything back to normal
