Time for Regular Svce light doesn't reset?? V70-XC70 2002

A few months ago my post on this question gave me a thorough response from MadeinJapan on the exact way to reset my "Time for regular service" message. Well i've tried and tried, and the best i could get was a beep and a 045 temporarily replaceing the message on the screen during my holding down the odometer reset button. But the Regular Service message still always appears for about a minute after starting the car, and then after that it says no codes when the turn-signal end-button is depressed. My OBD code reader shows no stored codes that it can read.
Does anyone know the meaning of the 045? I'm going to NYC emision inspection tomorrow and i fear icebergs under the OBD waters.
Thanks in advance.

    The service reminder indicator (SRI) informs the driver that it is time for the car to be serviced. The text message is displayed for 120 s each time the ignition is switched on.
    Proceed as follows to reset the service reminder indicator (SRI):
    -Ignition position I
    -Press and hold in the reset button for the trip odometer
    -Ignition position II.
    Note! Turn the key to position II within 2 seconds.
    -Hold the reset button for the trip meter pressed in until the original value has been reset.
    Note! For all vehicles from the 2003 model year a general yellow lamp will light when the reset button must be released.
    -Release the reset button for the trip odometer within 4 seconds. The instrument gives an audible signal when resetting has succeeded
    -If the trip meter is already reset the reset button should be held in for a minimum of 10 seconds and a maximum of 14 seconds.
    Note! If the reset button for the trip odometer is not released within 4 seconds, the service reminder indicator (SRI) is not reset.

    Service message has nothing to do with OBD codes. Just a friendly reminder to go to Volvo and get your oil changed. Don't sweat it during testing.
