how do you reset the service indicator message?
On audis there's a little trick to do this using the odometer, does anyone know if there's a similar trick on the xc90 or is it vida only?
|
There is a way of doing it. It some thing like hold down the tip reset with the ignition in I and then turn it to II whilst keeping it pressed and wait unti the yellow triangle flashes at which point let go and the message should have reset. thats from memory and i stand to be corrected.

The above post looks similar to this attachment which I found a while ago which might be useful.
I have never needed to use it so I can't confirm if it is correct or works. |
Thanks but it doesn't work on mine.
Oddly when you put key in the ignition -press and hold the odometer button then turn to position I and wait 5 seconds there is a beep sound and then when you turn to II the display shows 167 and then 045 before changing back to normal. Anyone know what these codes are? Damn service indicator is still showing though! |

045 AH! The light goes on. That's a service message not a fault. For the life of us here in the shop, we've never been able to find the literature telling us what the heck the messages mean when resetting. VIDA has no information about them. We were told years ago that it had to do with the selections for service interval reminders set in the driver information module, but there are no instructions to that effect. Another typical one on the older S80's was "65". Nothing else, just the number "65". Even if you reset the transmission oil counter with the VIDA cart, it won't go off. The only thing I can suggest is that next time you have it at the dealer, tell them to reset the counters for fluid intervals. Wish there was a master list that I could point you towards. How do I cancel this message please s I find it irritating seeing for 6 months. Peter Accepted Answer Is your "time for regular service" message staying on? The procedure for resetting is to put the key in position "I", hold the trip reset button and turn the key to position "II". Hold it until the warning light flashes. It should reset your service reminder, but after you reset it you may see that "045" afterwards. The service message shouldn't come on after that again except at startup. If the message won't go away, you're going to have to take it to a dealer and have them perform a DIM (driver information module) upgrade. That will make the functions do what they are supposed to. You may have a software glitch with your reset function currently. Performing the software upgrade fixes it. I couldn't access any of the advice on 167 due to internet restrictions at work. Just give it a Google. Rob |
I posted this a while back and seems to have worked for some people:
1. Turn the key to position one 2. Push in the button for the trip meter, turn on the ignition (you should still press the button). - Now it differ from if you have service lamp or service message. Car with lamp: Release the button when service lamp start to flash. Car with message: Release the button when the triangular warning sign start to flash. To check Turn off the ignition, turn it on again and start the engine. If the service message or lamp not have disappeared, start from the beginning again. |
I persisted with various permutations and found that mine worked by doing
key to position I then press and hold odometer button turn key to II and wait for the triangle to start flashing before releasing it whilst still flashing. It makes a beep sound and the message disappears! Sweet. Thanks all. |

I use the same method on my xc90 and s80,it doesn't always work first time but never usually takes more than 3 goes.
|
Worked first time for me...but no beep.
Cheers guys. |

FYI this is how I finally reset the service light: Held down trip button with key in ignition, but in the zero position. Turned the key to position 1 whilst still holding the trip. The (i) light flashed and I let go of the trip. Service light was gone. |
just used this method myself...worked perfectly...again no beep
cheers guys mike |
Worked for me too on my C70, hubby now has his coming on his XC90 so hopefully will work on that too.
Cheers guys |
Genius! And thank you.
I had this done once after I took it to the dealership for a service issue but the tech neglected to remove the "Time for regular service" message. So I brought it back and the tech came out to the parking lot and did it with his apologies. It happened a second time about a year later and the dealership tried to charge me $30 for it; saying that was the minimum charge for hooking it up to the computer which they said was required to dismiss the message. Then I reminded him the tech had done it in the parking lot the previous time. GOTCHA!!!! Those dealerships will try to rip you off every time. So thanks for the accurate and useful information. Now I can do it myself. ;-) |

It annoys me that some stealerships think they should benefit from anything to do with the car which you have bought from them. When it comes to faults, the tendency is the opposite! |
Pos 1, hold odo, Pos 2 hold until Triangle flashes - and release.
DONE Thanks from a very happy "no messages" XC90 owner !! |
Successfully did this last evening after some difficulty getting the actual timing right for pressing and releasing trip reset button.
Eventually used the following you tube post for the same gen S80 (mine's a V70) on the iPad whilst sitting in the car (yeah, I know, all a bit high tech for me). Saved me a 60 mile round trip to servicing dealer's nearest Volvo franchise to have service indicator reset. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=30V5H...5H85_mio&gl=GB And...managed to do it without the prescribed rubber-ended pencil :thumbs_up: |

Worked for my v50 too, many thanks.

Pretty easy to do if you have have the right gear.
For those of you that can't do it, if your near Wolverhampton your welcome to pop round and use my VIDA/DICE software and interface to do the rest. http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps16c6986d.jpg |
Thanks Ron, worked on MY56 s60.
Many months of sleepless nights and worry averted ;) |
Is there a way to set a service interval, or is it always set by the factory?
