service indicator

Here is the link about how to do that on all kinds of Volvo

Regular run-of-the-mill OBDII reset tools with not work to reset the service light. Another Volvo dumbass move to try to get you to bring the car to their overpriced service shops. On my '96 850, I reset the service light FOREVER! Last time I had the cluster out for bulb replacement (and you WILL if you own a Volvo), I took out the service light bulb from the slot. I ended up using it to replace one of the others that died! Now I service the car at my intervals (5k oil/filter, all fluids once a year). Problem solved.

This works for the old S40 (pre-2004.5) - so I am guessing it will work on the V40 as well.

a) Keep the odomoter button pressed while you turn the ignition key so that the lights come on.

b) Continue to keep the odometer button pressed until the service light keeps flashing, then release the odometer button.

Just make sure that when/if you sell your car, you let the new owner know that the service light bulb has been removed (or replace it before selling).

You might be interested to know that a service light reset tool can be bought for less than $60.
