My service indicator is flashing can anyone tell me what that means as there is no hint in the owners manual.

Is it your SERVICE light or CHECK ENGINE LIGHT?If it is the check engine light it means there is a missfire in one of the cylinders.

The light may need to be reset.The service light is a reminder light for the oil change services.A special tool is needed to reset the light.

If you are an IPD subscriber (parts whse) a number of the models/years can be reset without tools. (www.ipdusa.com)

1993-1995 can be reset without tools.
1996 - 1998 require a reset tool. IPD may sell this - not sure.
1999 - 2000 can be reset via following a few steps (no tools)

Instructions for 1999-2000:
1. turn the ignition switch to position 1 (off)
2. Only the SRS indicator light is illuminated on the dash panel.
3. This is a two handed process: while pressing the trip mileage reset button,
turn ignition swith to position 2 (II). The service light will begin to flash in
15 - 30 seconds. as soon as it flahes release the reset button.
4. Turn ignition switch off. The service lamp should now be reset.

If doesn't work (which I found works everytime) go through all steps again. Swede in Colorado

works like a charm... does this work on all volvos? S40s or S60s? I did it in a V70 2000, but I have a 2001 S40 T4 at home with the service light on... I'll try anyway
