S70 Service Light Reset?

Probably a common question, but is it possible for me to reset the service reminder light in my 1997 S70 myself, or do I have to take it to a dealer?

Thanks

J.

Hi, J. - - -

The Volvo specialists as ipd, up in Portland sell a nice little tool for "only" $178. It's still a catalog item with them (their cat. # DFT5408).

The wife's 98 V70XC lived on my side of the garage until the S60AWD arrived. I popped for the tool several years ago and it assuredly works as advertised. For those into accessing the OBD II system via a laptop computer, all the existing software packages seem to offer that reset capability, as well.

Bottom Line: It's an electronic reset for the 96-98 cars. Thereafter, they allow you to access the system, but only if you've picked up the trick entry from this or other Volvo-related site.
