MORE HELP
Current issue with V70 glt wagon 135000 miles-
SRS light stays on...is this a dealer thing...I hope this is not a replacement time $1000s
and Service light comes on for 3 minutes...

The car is new to me...I just changed the oil due to service light; looks like it needed it.

 

This is a 1999 V70 glt

 

This is the one I have and love it. Fast and easy to use.

There may be better volvo specific tools, but for generic reading of engine codes via the OBDII interface, I really like Autoenginuity, which can reset the check engine light as well as show real time readouts from some of the car's sensors. Autoenginuity requires a computer, and plugs in to a USB2 interface.

It's going to take something with volvo specific programming to reset the SRS light, and I hope you can find one cheaply.

 

I use a $40 reader from Harbor Freight.

Nothing in a handheld reader will reset an SRS light. Don't screw around with a faulty SRS system you won't know when you will need it.

 

Of course, reading the SRS codes, fixing the problem and then resetting the SRS codes would be the ideal solution. But unfortunately generic tools rarely read or reset SRS codes.
An exception would be autoenginuity which offers additional manufacturer-specific software modules, but Autoenginuity does not have specific modules for Volvo.
