Service message comes on...need to clear out message thanks

What?! They want $1700 to clear a message?!?
If they want even $20 to clear a message, don't walk, RUN away from them FAST!
Are you sure they aren't talking about working on the vehicle to fix it?

Clearing a message should be FREE or almost free!

Warning Messages The warning messages can interrupt the display until cleared or reset by the driver. The warning messages are either single cycle, non-resettable, or repetitive warning messages.
The single cycle warning messages display once whenever the ignition switch is turned to the ON position or a fault occurs in a system, and can be cleared by pressing the RESET button. The single cycle warning messages are:

• liftgate ajar
• liftgate glass ajar
• service emission system
• low brake fluid
• service brake system
• check left headlamp
• check right headlamp
• check left turn lamps
• check right turn lamps
• check left high beam
• check right high beam
• check brake lamps
• check parking lamps
• washer fluid low
• check fuel cap
• change oil soon
• change oil now
• low fuel
• service 4x4
• turn signal on

If the system fails to turn on or activate, the StabiliTrak light along with one of the following messages will be displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC): TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITRAK OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAK. If these DIC messages appear, make sure the StabiliTrak system has not been turned off using the StabiliTrak on/off button. Then turn the steering wheel clockwise from the nine o'clock position to the three o'clock position. If this clears the message(s), the vehicle does not need servicing. If this does not clear the message(s), then turn the vehicle off, wait 15 seconds, and then turn it back on again to reset the system. If any of these messages still appear on the DIC, the vehicle should be taken in for service.

Dear Sir the Fault you have is all about your Dynamic Stability and Traction Control.The sensors fitted on your wheels which are checking the wheel speed usually get gummed with road dirt and debris and cause error to trigger. Ask Volvo mechanic to clean the sensors and the problem would resolved.

Hello there and thank you for choosing fixya

{: ) If you ever see the SERVICE STABILITRAK message, it means there may be a problem with your StabiliTrak® system. If you see this message, try to reset the system by performing the following: stop; turn off the engine; then start the engine again. If the SERVICE STABILITRAK message still comes on, it means there is a problem. You should see your GM dealer for service. The vehicle is safe to drive, however, you do not have the benefit of StabiliTrak®, so reduce your speed and drive accordingly. Press the select button to acknowledge this message and clear it from the DIC display

I'm guessing that you're talking about the check engine light (CEL). besides fixing the problem you can take it to the dealer or someone with a VAG-COM to clear the message.

You need to have this vehicle connected to a computerised diagnostic tool to clear this message.You may also need a service done on the engine which is why is causing this light to display...

To reset the perform service message , is as follows , turn ignition switch to the ON position , depress and release MENU push button until SERVICE INTV . = is displayed , press and release STEP button to step through available options. the last selected distance option displayed becomes the service interval at which the PERFORM SERVICE message will be displayed . if a new distance interval is selected , RESET SERVICE DISTANCE ? with a yes or no option. when yes is selected the accumulated distance since the last previous PERFORM SERVICE message will be set to zero because the service interval has been changed . when NO is selected , the distance until the next PERFORM SERVICE message is reduced by the accumulated distance since the last previous message . EVIC exits programming mode and returns to its normal operation mode when the C/T button is depressed or when the end of the programmable feature menu list is reached , whichever comes first .

Thanks for asking .

The message is trying telling you that the system has a fault and most likely the control module has disabled the system. After the problem is fixed the message will clear. You can have the system tested by Volvo to see what part of the system has a fault, most likely they will charge about 1 hour labor time.
