Clearing the "maintenance needed" message? Topic is solved

[Mr. Detail]

Morning guys;
OK, I was able to clear my SRS warning finally but now have the "Maintenance needed" warning message. This is on a 2002 V70.
I pulled up at least three (3) youtube videos yesterday and tried all three with no luck. One said hold down the trip odometer button while moving from ignition key position #1 to position #2. That did not work. I then tried having the trip odometer on both the T1 and T2. That didn't work. I also realize that there must be some mileage showing on either trip meter before trying. Does anyone know of a sure fire way to clear that message?

This works for my 2001 V70, to clear the Service Required light (not the message):

2001 Volvo S80 / V70 / S60 Models (May apply to S40/V40 also)
• The service reminder indicator lamp illuminates for 120 seconds when the ignition is first switched on.
• Insert key and turn Ignition Switch to position I
• Press and hold in the reset button for the trip odometer
• Turn the Ignition switch to position II (within 5 seconds)
• The service reminder indicator 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.
• If the trip meter reset button is not released within 5 seconds the indicator is not reset, but the indicator will stop flashing.

May also try this for 2002-2009 S60

Thanks guys!!
It seems a bit tricky to just get it right. I will give those instructions a try next.
