You first have to retrieve fault codes from your computer network then you have to diagnose the systems/circuits indicated by the fault codes to determine what the cause of the failure is, then you must repair the system/circuit at fault and then reset the computer system. If the dealer cannot do this, I don't know who can. Did they tell you what fault codes they were getting? If so, we can look up the troubleshooting charts for those codes as well as do a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) search to see if this is a known problem with a known fix. Without the codes, your guess is as good as mine.

I agree with the above poster that you should never "just reset" (and ignore the error message)...

Having said that...

I was able to reset the error message on my 2005 XC90 by doing the following:

1. place key in ignition
2. turn to first click
3. push odometer reset button
4. (within a few seconds) turn key to second position while keeping odometer button pushed down
5. after a few seconds, service light will flash - release odometer button on second flash
6. turn off ignition
7. turn ignition back on to check...1. put key in, turn to position 1
2. hold down

Good luck!

''Transmission service ugent'' what do I do?

With all due respect, you clearly lack the skills or knowledge to diagnose and fix this yourself or you would not be asking here.

Just do what the message is telling you and get the vehicle to a repair garage promptly, preferably a Volvo main dealer. The longer you delay, the bigger the final repair bill as this won't fix itself.

Service transmission urgent warning came on my 2003 volvo xc90.at 133161km.

you should take to the dealer the can properly diagnose and repair with proper parts.may just be due for service.
the transmissions on that model use very specific fluids in each unit.so generic oils will not due.
furthermore the cost of replacement for the trans is very high in just labor alone. not trying to scare you or promote a dealer just saying it needs factory attension with factory tools

Message says 'service transmission urgent' Is this something I can handle rather than bringing in for service?

Servicing the Transmission in this model of volvo is best done by a certified Technician due to the complexity of the transmission

Getting a used 2004 XC90-T6

Dont buy the T6 version. They have had TONS of transmission problems and it runs about 5-6K for a new one (dealer). My experience has seen some on their third transmission, and in my shop there are currently at least six waiting for transmissions which are on backorder due to the demand. Buy the 2.5T (5 Cyl.) or the V8, both of those are much better vehicles.

"SRS - AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT"...message

If you have SRS and "brake failure" it should be taken to a dealer. a shadetree mechanic will screw more up than he will fix in this case. trust me on this! you will pay a price, but will save you more $ and less headache in the longrun.
