Turn the ignition to the "I" position (accessory) hold down the trip
meter reset button, and while holding it down turn the key to position
"II" (don't start), and continue to hold the reset button down until the
service light begins to flash.

Would that work for a 1998 V70 XC? My service light has been on for a
year, since I avoid taking it to the dealer as much as possible and my
mechanic can't turn it off.

Update: I tried, and it didn't work...oh well.

Nope, those instructions only work from 1999. 1996-1998 require a
special electronic tool.
