Will I have to reset the computer for the light to go off? If the computer needs to be reset will you provide the method to reset the computer?

the computer will have to be cleared through the o.b.d.-2 diagnostic port with a scan tool in the generic mode. most places will charge you for this service but it is still cheaper than buying your own scan tool. P.S. disconnecting the battery ground cable will not work on this model, and you will need to enter the code for the radio[if you still have it] in order to make it play again.

There is TSB 2334 that states this condition is normal. READINESS CODE RESET WITH KEY-OFF / KEY-ON CYCLE BOSCH MOTRONIC 4.3 ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM MY 1996 VOLVO 850 EMISSION CODES 0, 1, 2, AND 5 (POSITION 8 IN VIN) When interrogated using a generic OBD II scan tool, the MY 1996 Volvo 850, equipped with Bosch Motronic 4.3 Engine Management System, may experience all of the Readiness Codes changing from COMPLETE to INCOMPLETE when the ignition key is cycled. Customer complaints regarding the MIL/Check Engine lamp and diagnostic trouble codes should continue to be addressed using established procedures. Customer complaints regarding Readiness Codes ONLY, for these 1996 850s ONLY, should be addressed as follows: Explain to the customer that this behavior applies to all 1996 850s and cannot be corrected. But this behavior will not inhibit the OBD II system from monitoring, detecting, and subsequently storing a corresponding diagnostic trouble code in system memory and, if appropriate, the MIL/Check Engine lamp will illuminate to alert the customer to any need for a service check. Suggest to the customer that they do NOT turn the engine off until after the Enhanced Inspection/Maintenance OBD II check has been completed.

Why not try to disconnect the battery for about 15 minutes or so for the memeory to clear and then hook it up again!
