Reset Volvo Service Reminder 2nd Generation (2006 - 2016) 

I took this info and was able to reset it on my 1999 V70. 1. - Set to TRIP 2. - HOLD the RESET button 3. - Turn key to position two 4. - Wait until Service Reminder light FLASHES three times, then release the RESET button 5. - YOU ARE DONE Thanks so much for this information!

2012 XC60 - This works: 1. Key in 2. Press Trip/Reset button to set car to "T2" position 2. Press ignition button once to get to Ignition Position I 3. Press and hold Trip/Reset button 4. Press Ignition button to get to Ignition Position II (Radio and HVAC turn on) 5. Watch yellow "I" indicator light, once it flashes three times, release the Trip/Reset button If you hold it too long (i.e. past three flashes) it will beep and you'll have to repeat the process.

Volvo V70 2010. After a few attempts this worked for me, put key in press and hold reset button on T2 it doesn't matter if its on zero, then press and hold start button wait until light flashes 3 times ( if it bleeps you waited to long) then release reset button T2 and keep holding start button until a different bleep sounds then release, remove key and start engine. Good luck

Thank you from 2023 lmao still works

This worked perfectly on my 2013 S60

Worked perfectly on my V70. Thanks for sharing.

This worked. Thanks. Make sure you let go of the buttons after the information light flashes but before it beeps.

Excellent video! I made the same mistake as your first attempt, but watching the 2nd attempt carefully, I was able to make the light go away. LOL, the non-dealer mechanics said they searched RU-vid but couldn't make it work. Thanks!

These instructions actually worked on my Volvo XC60 2010. Thank you!

Volvo V70, 2012 here. Mine worked, but with T1 instead of T2. Thank you for your video!

Thanks for help buddy , I did it all ready 3 - 4 times . For some reason my V70 after service is showing that message , the mechanic told me is doing that because I don't wait to do the service until the message comes up . I usually do it at 10k km , even if the car is not asking yet . Thank you very much again , you saved me from a 40 Km trip to mechanic . 👍

Thank You. Took several tries but it finally worked. Like you I got the error message 161 twice. I think I was waiting too long to hit the start button after holding in the reset button. I found that when I did them almost at the same time it worked.

This worked on my Volvo V70, Many Thanks. Only thing is if you have a manual gear change, you need to keep your foot off the clutch when switching start button to position 1 or 2. (Foot off the brake is quite correct if an automatic gear change) Thanks again - from Yorkshire England

Followed other video instruction, set the odometer tp T1, tried four times to reset my XC70 2010 maintenance, it didn't work, until follow your exact procedure, set the odometer to T2, the service light reset immediately. thanks your video.

It took me a couple tries. I wasn't letting go when it flashes. Thanks for the video.

Thanks, this worked great for my 2008 Volvo XC70. Tried numerous other ways but yours was the only one that worked.

This is the only procedure that worked for my '09 XC70 - thank you!

Thank you. I have gone through 5 or more videos trying to do this. Yours worked the first time.

This worked perfectly on my 2009 XC70. It DID clear the "Book Time for Maintenance". Thank you!

Thank you for this video i did my oil change 2 days ago in my volvo xc60 in sears and the guys over there didn't know how to reset it so i had to watch your video to doit myself. your video was very helpful to me and for that i thank you

Worked for me on a 2008 XC70. Need to be quick on the release of the button before the second tone. They don't give you much time. Very similar to the reset procedure used by Toyota on the Tundra.

Worked on my 2009 V70 after a few attempts. Important to get the sequence correct.

service maintenance light reset worked on my 2007 2008 V70, thanks!

Thank you for sharing this information. I just made it to a 2007 S80 II. It also took me 3 times to do it right ! ! !

It worked- What animalhacker said is the correct way to do it, doesn't matter if the T2 reads zero miles. Got it in three tries (2010 S80 T6)

Excellent! Hopefully other UK XC90 owners will see your comment and use it. Thank you for posting.

Finally one that actually works. Thank you!

This worked on my 2010 xc70. It took a couple if tries but many thanks!

The trick is to let go of the start button before you get the ding but after the Info light blinks. Very tricky to do but it will work.

Thank you!!!Only tutorial that worked. 2012 Volvo S60 T5.

thank you! the shop. I take mine to couldn't figure it out, and a few other videos didn't work for me. the T2. seemed to be the difference. thank you!

Thanks, David, works for my 2010 XC60, after a couple of tries.

Thanks! Worked like a champ on my 2012 S60 T5!

Thank you, it works on S60 - 2011. Have just reseted it

Its working on my V70 ,2008, 3.2l. Thanks a lot.

Thank you mate I did it after 30 times.

From Hamburg - Germany: Thanks!!

Excellent! Thank you for commenting that this worked on newer S80 models.

Thanks man - I listen to this at regular intervals lol

2010 Volvo XC60 w/ push-button start: I must have done this 15-20 times. I kept getting a '163' code where your 161 showed up. The final time that worked, I tried something different. Key in, press start once quickly, press and hold the reset button (set to T2 with at least 0.1m on the meter), press and hold start button for 2 seconds... all the same as done in the video. Time that worked, the very instant that I saw the yellow 'I' indicator on the dash, I released the reset button, then removed the key. Either it took 16+ tries to clear 15 messages in memory or releasing the reset button at exactly the right moment made a difference. Hope that helps someone. LOL... I wish I had read Heinz O'Connor's comment below before doing this hokey-pokey with the car!! :D

Thanks very much. I spent a hour trying to do this before I found your video. Regards, Merv

release before beep...crucial. Thanks mate

Well done! It worked on my V70 III (2008) :-))

yogo? Thanks for the reply, 74k miles huh? I really appreciate your replying, it really helps getting insight from someone who's actually driven the car!

Thanks a million!! It worked. Took me a couple times to get it exact but really worked! I really appreciate it

You are Welcome. I post these to help and I am glad this is something you could use.

Made my day! Thank you very much!

Thanks! That worked like a charm on my 2008 S80 V8!

Just to let you know - it did not work for me when I just pushed the start button once while already holding the reset button (after turning the ignition ON) - the ignition would just turn OFF. I had to push and hold the start button along with the reset button in order to reset the reminder. Maybe having other messages was the case here but it finally worked. My Volvo is a petrol V8.

Many thanks (specially for T2 trick!!!!) Perfectly working on XC60 with last software update. Merci.

I would love to help but I do not even know if you are talking about a key fob push button start or a traditional key that is turned. You should not be able to remove the key unless the car is in park for an automatic transmission. If the key fob is not recognized then disconnect the battery for 1/2 hour, reconnect the battery and try again.

This is brilliant. You’re a genius. Thanks

Thanks it worked on my 2005 UK XC90 Exec Auto It has to be on T2 the number 137 came up on the display then the triangle started to flash - Relaesed the T2 button and all is well

Thanks for your clip, helped with a Volvo v60 I was servicing, I done it the hardcore way by using my finger :-0

Thank you all shot in a Volvo V70 2012

Thank-You so much!! I got so tired of seeing that message

Worked perfect for my 2008 XC70...Thank You!!! \m/

Thanks, worked perfectly! I help my friend with this tutorials...

thanks, it worked perfectly on my 2009 XC60

thanks worked on my o7 V70. T2 until info sign flashes 3 times then off worked for me. thx

Thank you for your Comment. I should go through the comments and list the vehicles that this works on.

@ prokity Hello mate. My s80 just showed up message on screen. Tried Your method and it works the treat. Quick and efficient...Big thanks

worked great on our S80!, Thx

Thanks 😃works great on my volvo v70 2,0f 2009

Thanks!

That is great! Thank you for posting that information.

It works for me but when I press the reset button on the left stick on it comes back again. It should be like that??

Your tips worked. Thank you

How about S60 2002 year ? And what to do if DTC are not turning on by pushing read button?

Wow......got there eventually! Thanks man🙂

Thanks it worked on my 2010 Volvo S80 it was good to use a pencil so the yellow info light wasn’t blocked. You have to be fast

Excellent info.... many thanks man!👍

I was afraid I might have to go to the Volvo dealership to have the light reset. As with everybody else it took a couple of tries but it finally worked. Thanks for sharing the info. David, I'd like to know how you figured that one out?

Thanks, worked perfectly!!!

Great videos 👍🏻

thank you david!!

Hi, I'm planning to buy a 2007 S80 but i'm not sure if it's a good choice because it already has 63k mi on it and the maintenance cost is high. I was wondering if you could advice base on how many miles you already have on your S80 and how much have you spent after the 63k mark (if it's past that already). I hear modules are really trippy and 1 trip to the dealership would cost $1000 which is something that I want to avoid anytime soon. I look forward to your reply, thanks!

Fantastic thanks

Your a star, thank you

It worked. Thank you.

Thank you very much ! It worked ...

Thanks it worked on my V70 2011

Very good video my friend

Make sure odometer is on T2......AND......THERE HAS TO BE at least 0.1 miles on the T2 odometer, so if it doesn’t reset the first time, you’ll need to drive 1/10 th of a mile😞

Is that for low tire pressure? It worked for the oil change book time for maintenance

Excellent video thank you for taking your time. Was very helpfully :)

Thanks

Big thanks!

* Ignition Switch position I. * Press and hold the Trip Odometer Reset Button. (Must be in T2) * While holding Trip Odometer Reset Button in pressed position, immediately place Ignition Switch to position II. * Hold Trip Odometer Reset Button in pressed position until Information Lamp begins to flash or until the Service Message is reset. * Release Trip Odometer Reset Button within 4 seconds, from the time the Information Lamp starts to flash or the Service Message has reset.

Muito obrigado ajudou bastante na minha oficina , para satisfazer o Cliente

Thank u! It worked!

You are welcome.

I would rate the car is right in the middle, not great but not bad either. Not bad is good, zero repairs, nice styling good mpg from the 6 cylinder. And we drive it 10 -15,000 miles a year.

Hello David prokity. I have a qeustion is there a way to get in the hidden RTI menu on a Volvo s80 modelyear 2007? I manage to get in the menu on a Volvo s60 2003 but on the s80 2007 this method does not work? Im looking forward for your answer. Greetings Patrick

thank you it worked!

Do you have to have the key fob in place before you attempt this?

how can I look the oil Temperatur on the display from bordcomputer...?

Every car is an individual but we have had no trouble with ours. 74,000 miles Insurance $750 yr Maintenace is non exixtent the air filter is a 60,000 mile filter Oil is once a year the way I do it.The rear brakes wear early because of the cruise control but the front brakes are factory original.No repairs (yet). We paid 40158 new that is tax and everything but insurance. The car is nice but average as cars go. Average is good-lets say a Mercedes S-Class great Yogo bad for comparision.

It also worked on my 2011 xc60

За счет чего Вольво, надежнее, чем Мазда? Как это сравнивают надежность профессионалы? Какие критерии лучше выбрать? С чего лучше начать? Подскажите, пожалуйста, кто знает.
