Volvo: 2005 S80 Computer Reset, volvo s80, trip odometer


Question
I recently took my S80 for an oil change but the Goodyear shop was unable to reset the computer.  It still says it is time for the engine service.  They tried some combination of ignition switch positions and mileage button resets but couldn't get the computer to reset itself.  What is the method/sequence to reset that thing???

Resetting the service reminder indicator (SRI)



Hint:  The lamp can also be reset using VADIS vehicle communication.

The service reminder indicator (SRI) informs the driver that it is time for the vehicle to be serviced. The text message is displayed for 120 seconds each time the ignition is switched on.

Proceed as follows to reset the service reminder indicator (SRI):



Ignition position I
Press and hold in the reset button for the trip odometer
Ignition position II.
Note!  Turn the key to position II within 2 seconds .

Hold the reset button for the trip odometer pressed in until the original value has been reset
The information lamp lights when the reset button must be released
Release the reset button for the trip odometer within 4 seconds . The instrument gives an audible signal when resetting has succeeded
If the trip odometer is already reset, the reset button must be held in for a minimum of 10 seconds and a maximum of 14 seconds .
Note!  If the reset button for the trip odometer is not released within 4 seconds , the service reminder indicator (SRI) is not reset.
