The engine check light on my 1999 (2000MY) V70 2.5D(iesel) has been on for a while - almost certainly because I turned the ignition on with some of the fuses removed (don't ask!) and it thought there was an emission system fault.
In the past, various people have suggested that the code would clear itself after a number of fault-free journeys. It hasn't!
I *could* get my local Volvo dealer to clear the code, but they want over 45 GBP for 5 minutes work to do it!
The thought occurs to me that, if the code is held in volatile memory, and if I disconnect the battery for a suitable length of time (yes, I *do* know the radio code) it might 'forget' the error.
Does anyone know whether this is likely to work? Is anything else of importance likely to be lost? [Presumably things like oddometer reading are in non-volatile memory?].
TIA
