QUESTION: Will any OBD II scan tool work or is there a special tool for Volvo?  Thank you.

Answer
Will,
I am not sure about aftermarket scan tools, you would need to try one to see if that service light program is part of the tool. I do know that there is a tool out there made for Volvo to just reset the service light. That might be bought at the dealer. Try ohiodiagonstics.com
