hi everybody, need help again Please!

Have a V70 W Reg 2000 Classic with the above Problem.

SRS AIRBAG LIGHT Won't go out

I have taken it to my local garage, but upon investigation with Diagnostic Computer, cannot resolve the problem.

have been told this can be caused by something as simple as moving the seat backward or forward?

I am also told this is an MOT Failure.

Any help or suggestions Please?

Many thanks for help.

Regards

Paul

 

Exact codes you help up us out a lot.

 

I believe VIDA goes back to 2000. You will get more specific help from a DiCE / VIDA scan than from a generic OBD2 scan.

This means either a dealer, a dedicated Volvo shop, or a DIY Chinese Clone DiCE unit.

Then you can take the needed action to clear the fault. After that, VIDA can clear the SRS flag.

 

A reset tool won't work if there is a permanent fault. The fault needs to be fixed or it won't clear. The light doesn't just come on for no reason.

 

Well, ES6T, it may seem like it 'doesn't just come on for no reason', but mine suddenly came on the other day (for no known reason - I haven't had an accident, or done any work on car, or had any issues). Not only that, the light comes on when my seatbelt is on, but GOES OUT when I unhook seatbelt! I know that makes no sense, but that's what its suddenly doing. For no known reason.
If you have any suggestions, that would be great!

 

Possibly a fault in the seat belt buckle. Which would be the reason.

 

If you are going to pay for a "SRS Airbag light reset tool," pay for the DiCE /VIDA tool instead, unless you mostly use the tool on many other non-Volvo's. DiCE / VIDA is a combination analysis and Volvo repair encyclopedia -- and, relative to dealer visits, cheap.

 

Hi everybody, and many thanks for all replies and suggestions.

Problem now sorted, it was the connection under the passenger seat.

Airbag/SRS Light now off.

Many thanks again
