What does the message Bulb failure- position light mean on a 2002 Volvo S80?

It means that one or more of your tail lights (daytime running lights) has failed or is near failure. There should be two of these bulbs on each side of the car, stacked one on top of the other. Consult your owner's manual on the correct type of bulb to use. They usually come in 2-packs and do not vary widely in quality.
To replace the bulbs, open your trunk and ensure the car has been turned off for at least 5 minutes (some of the electronic components will continue running after you stop the engine). Inside the trunk, on the left and right sides, you should notice two round plastic parts that can be turned. Turn one of them, and pull that part of the trunk wall down to the floor.
At this point, you should be looking into the compartment behind the tail light assembly. Notice there are 2 sets of bulb sockets (upper and lower) being held into place by a clip. Pinch the clip on the lower set, and gently pull out the entire set of bulb sockets. Be careful not to stretch or tear the wires or break the connecter. The bulbs you need to replace are in the middle (the only ones stacked vertically, close together). See which bulbs are burnt or have broken filaments. Replace that bulb AND the matching bulb on the opposite side of the car.
If you don't replace the matching bulb on the opposite side, the car may continue to detect a voltage difference between the bulbs and continue to give you the "Bulb Failure-Position Light" message.
Please note: Since all four running-lights get used equally, the other set may also need replacement soon.

Where is the location of the position bulb on the Volvo xc70?
Position light bulbs can be either headlamp or parking lamp/marker lamp bulbs Have a look on the centre console. Its probably one of the lights around either the left or right temperature dial on the air conditioner. It only comes on when you turn the headlights on and have the illumination come on on the the dash. Mine came on today but error message only showed when I turned on the headlights. The above statement is incorrect. NONE of the dash light bulbs will turn on the bulb failure message. Note they did say the the message came on when the headlights were turned on. This is an indication that one of the position bulbs or a headlight bulb has failed. I have 30 plus years as a Volvo factory trained technician.

Confirm by turning your Volvo off then on again. The previous description was for resetting the "Service" light. To reset the check engine light, the car must be plugged into either an OBDII compliant scan tool, or a dealer's scan tool to retrive whatever trouble code has been stored, repair the problem, and then the light can be "reset".
