Hello, "The timing is tricky"....You got that right brother! I just did mine; a 2002 with 105,300 miles, and the reset took on the 2nd try. It has always taken on the second try, even with my 1999. I could never feel confident enough to post instructions on this one. Thanks to all the posters who helped. Kira

I have an S-80 (2003) and the following worked for me...

1. Turn the ignition key to position I.
2. Ensure that the trip display is on T1 and shows some miles (not zero). Press and hold the T1 reset button and wait for the odometer to set to zero.
3. Turn the ignition key to position II, and watch the odometer.
4. When the previously displayed miles reappears, release the trip reset button.[/quote]

Thanks
Memon

You can't reset service light with drivers door open!! If it wont reset first attempt stay in car, remove key from ignition, lock/unlock car, open/close drivers door then re attempt procedure. Hope this works for you.

I have a 2006 S40. The regular scheduled maint. light was on and could not figure out how to get it to shut off. This post was the answer.

Hold in the trip odometer reset,
turn the key through positions I and then II,
hold there and when the message goes away,
turn the key off.

This was an important step on my S60. Second try with the door closed was successful!

i have a 2001 V70 this worked for me with the doors closed and only after i started and ran the car. If i just turned the car on after the sequence the service message was still there. i actually had to start the car before the light would go out. hope this helps lower the frustration level with this rather necessary procedure - joe
