How To Reset A Volvo Service Light
To reset the Volvo maintenance message without a fault code reader and a service reset tool, do the following:
  1. Put your key in the ignition and turn it to position one.
  2. Next, turn your trip computer to trip one.
  3. Press and hold the trip computer while turning your key to position two.
  4. The center arrow will flash red three times.
  5. On the third flash, you will let go and an alert will note that you just reset your service light.
If the instructions above do not work for you, then you should consider using a service reset tool and a car code reader.
You can purchase a car code reader online, or you can look for maintenance reset services at your Volvo dealership. There are various car code readers available online-some of which can even plug into your phone.
However, when it comes to resetting a specific Volvo service indicator, like the check engine light, a tool like the OBD1 will suffice.

P3 cars.

A helper may be of use on RHD cars, but not essential...

Put smart key in slot.
Press start button, but keep foot off the brake pedal so the motor does not start.
Press and hold the trip meter reset button.
While holding the TM button press and hold the start button.
Keep both buttons depressed.
Nothing will happen for 5 seconds or so...
Then the " i " message in display will start flashing...
After another 5 seconds you'll hear a beep.
Release both buttons and switch off ignition.
