service indicator

How could I reset the service-indicator of a volvo V-40?

It must be the same for al volvo's?

 

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.
