How often should I come in for Volvo 760 differential service?

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a 760?

Can you clear the 760 check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your 760’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems.

By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.
