To reset the message bulb failure position light on a 2002 Volvo V70 XC, first ensure that all bulbs are functioning correctly, including the brake lights, turn signals, and position lights. After confirming that there are no faulty bulbs, turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine. Then, press and hold the trip odometer reset button until the message disappears from the display. If the light persists, it may indicate a deeper electrical issue that requires further inspection.

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.

They are typically activated by turning the light switch to the first position. Additionally, there are also rear position lights located in the tail light assemblies.
