Service Light 2001 XC

Mar 30, 2009 1 Replies

Hi



Could someone post the routine for getting rid of the service light. At the same time, the book recommends 12k servicing....I usually stop in for an oil/filter at a non-Volvo quick oil change location at 5k + or - , but they don't change the service light sequence. Why does it come on before the 12k book required servicing??



Thanks,



Gerry


According to this small document:

Resetting the Service reminder indicator (SRI), model years -2001

  • Ignition position I
  • Press and hold in the reset button for the trip odometer
  • Ignition position II
  • The service reminder indicator (SRI) starts flashing when the reset button for the trip odometer has been pressed for 10 seconds
  • Release the reset button for the trip odometer within 5 seconds. The instrument gives an audible signal when resetting has succeeded. Note! If the trip meter reset button is not released within 5 seconds the indicator is not reset. However the indicator will stop flashing.

Not sure about Volvos, but many of the cars at our shop can have the service interval reset to whatever time or mileage you want (using the proper scanner). Maybe yours has already been reset?
