Service engine soon light is on i want to reset it
Disconnect the battery for a minute or two, reconnect.code should be gone. If after driving the car for a few miles and the light comes back back on then more diagnosis is required.
Best use OBD II scanner,read the code and fix it.Sometimes to rest helps too.

there are three different dash panels used in the volvo v70 and s70 for 1998.
2 of them are made by VDO the third is made by YAZAKI
- the YAZAKI dash has a small rubber plug just to the left of the speedometer, pop it out with a small screwdriver and and use the screwdriver to push in the button behind it then reinstall the plug
- the EARLY VDO dash cannot be reset without a factory scan tool production date before 8/97
- the LATE VDO dash can be reset, turn ignition off, press and hold trip reset button, turn ignition on (still holding button) hold for 10 seconds release when light flashes

I have a 2000 Volvo S70 as well with the same code. Do you ever have trouble starting your car? I did and that's why I took it to the dealer. Appartently it's the code for the ignition immobilizer system in your car (part of the security system). Specifically, a part call the antenna ring. The antenna ring is the outer portion of your ignition switch on the steering column - the part that lights up and has the following printed on it: 0 - I - II - III. This part is actually a sensor that transmits the code stored in the microchip inside of your key. When this part goes bad it fails to transmit the correct key code to the computer, and cuts the fuel to the engine.
The dealer wanted to charge me $550 for a new antenna ring, two new keys, and software to program the car's computer with the new key codes. I purchased the antenna ring online for $50 and did it myself in 15 minutes - so easy. They claim that you can't replace the antenna ring without new software - lie! You only need the software if you are replacing the keys.
Car is running great.
SOURCE: THE ABS light on my Volvo S70 went on and turned off in a minute.
It should come on for a few seconds with the other lights, but should not stay on for a minute. If you get an intermittent ABS light it could be a speed sensor or more likely the ABS module. If you get an ABS light along with a flashing arrow light, traction control light, or speedometer and odometer goes out, then it is just about guaranteed to be an ABS module issue. There are online sites that will rebuild ABS units for around $150 or less. They are pretty easy to remove and install yourself with the right socket. Google "Victor Rocha". His site has good information on the procedure and he is well trusted for his rebuilding jobs (I have no affiliation to him or the site).
