How to reset the malfunction and engine control light of the Volvo XC90

Model: Volvo Xc90 MK 1 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Warning light – error code

In this brief guide, we will see the instructions that will allow us to reset the malfunction and engine control warning light of the Volvo XC90. Before performing the reset of the engine light, it is necessary to have resolved the issue related to the light turning on, which can be identified using a diagnostic tool (to be connected to the car's OBD port); using the same tool, we will then reset the malfunction and engine control error, checking that the warning light resets from the instrument panel. If the light is not reset, a more in-depth diagnosis will be necessary.
