so some time back a fuse blew, i replaced it and after the SRS warning light came on. Not sure if the events are related. The CEL is also on and I need to know:

1. is there a way to reset the SRS warning light?
2. how do I read the CEL codes on this 93? Has anyone been able to do it at home without taking it to a dealer to plug it into a computer?

 

what model is it 240? if so, Remove the small cover that says SRS on it next to the cigarette lighter and remove the lighter ****. Insert the end of the jumper you made into the cross opening so it is gripped by the clip inside. Arrange the wire so you can touch the other end of it to the grounded metal ring of the
cigarette lighter.
Turn the ignition on so the dash warning lights are on and wait 15 seconds.
Ground the test terminal for 2 full seconds. The SRS light will flash immediately when the connection is first broken. This is not a fault code. The light will then flash one to ten times for the code. The light will then come back on.
Without turning the key off, clear the fault codes.
Ground the test terminal 3 times for at least 0.25 seconds each time all within a period of 1.5 to 5 seconds. It will probably take several tries to get the rhythm.
The lamp will go out for 4 seconds, re-light for 3 seconds, and then go out. If the light does not stay out, then there is still a fault present and you will need to go further in to it.

good luck..

 

would the same work with a 99 s80? t6?

any help would be fabulous. first time volvo owner.

oh, everything seems to run fine. except one in a while, as in once a day the idle surges pretty hard...

 

Mr. Volvoguy,

Is there any similar trick to turn off the SRS light on a 1996 960? So far I have been reading that 96 and later have to go to the dealer. The only trick suggested was to detach the battery, wait at least half an hour, reattach, drive....up to three times. I am almost there but I don't have high hopes for that working.

Thanks very much,
