Yeah, if Service light is the only concern I would just pull the bulb for a cost of $0 personally.

The value of the 850 OBD-II app is quite high though, I work in software so I already had a spare Android phone around but I’m impressed enough with the app that I’d buy a cheap Android tablet just to use it if I didn’t already have something. The ability to read Volvo-specific codes, clear SRS/Service lights and test modules from a smartphone is awesome.
