S/V40/70 older-1999 = Need to use the OBDII testern.
S/V40/70 1999-newer = Putting the ignition key into position I, push in and hold the odometer reset button (use your left hand), move the ignition key to position II, when the service light begins to blink,let go of the odometer reset button. Confirm by turning your Volvo off then on again.
* There are 2 lights on some Volvos, e.g. 2001 S40. One is the check engine light; the other is the "service light". I believe this solution is only for the "service light", not the "check engine" light. I did try it on our vehicle and it did not get rid of the "check engine" light and only the service light flashed.

The problem was not fixed with a tune up, or the light is on because it was not reset by the service station.

Why don't the service engine soon light come on when starting the vehicle?
The check engine/service engine light should come on as soon as the ignition is turned to the on position without starting the engine. If it does not, then the bulb is either blown or has been removed.

Not really. Without oil, the engine will soon have metal rubbing on metal, which will cause parts to go hot and seize. And that means engine destruction and expensive repairs.

Airplane propellers pull or push the plane thru the air. Without them, the plane will not move. Without them, you do not HAVE an airplane- you have a large, very expensive paperweight.

Normally a flashing check engine light means you have a misfire. Do not ignore this as an engine misfire will damage the O2 sensor and the catalytic converter which are very expensive to replace. Have this repaired immediately.

If you have fixed the problem, it will likely reset itself after about 20 engine starts. Also, the local oil change/inspection station may do it for free. It takes a diagnostic reader to do it.
