Is it possible to reset the S60 malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2005 Volvo S60

Your S60 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Volvo, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2005 Volvo S60 to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Volvo's recommendations.
