SilverS40 Hi All, little confused about scan tools and gear for my S40, I have an ELM for my Ford with OBD2 - is this the best one to use for the Volvo, or is there something better?
SilverS40 Thanks Philia, I got a set up and now learning how to make it do stuff (other than look good)
V8HUNTER Hi guys and hi Philia what about for my ride s40 2000 model 121kw petrol turbo can its going to work as well need to clear service light and traction control light....
Spac Service light is one of those "turn the key to On, face Mecca, count to 34, say your mother's birthdate in reverse" sorts of things. No need for a scan tool for it. Google the process. I've got a cheapy that Egads gave me a few years back. Hasn't failed to get me out of trouble on the S40s, although it was hit and miss on the 5-cylinder cars.
Ex850R Yes, my 30buk one does some things on my T5s, I laugh when I see them for 100s at parts stores

UNM The ELM327 bluetooth dongle is currently available for under AU$4. I use this with Torque app on android for basic stuff. I really ought to bite the bullet and buy Vida/Dice which I assume does everything volvo specific.
Garth i will have to look for that too service light wont reset tried every method i could find on the net
volzman8 this is the only method i know..it works on s40s from 1997 up until march 2004...u begin with the ignition switched off..u then press and hold the reset button on the trip meter, then turn on the igntion, whilst continuing to press down on the trip meter button..2 Release the trip meter button within four seconds of turning on the ignition.there will b an audible signal to confirm that the light has been eset, and the light will go out..3..hold on to the button for longer than about ten seconds with the ignition on and the light will begin flashing.However this does not mean that the light has been reset..If the four second period is exceeded,then u must switch of the ignition, wait half an hou and repeat the procedure..4..only tun on the ignition, dont kick it over or start it...hope this was helpful.
