Volvo: 2002 VOLVO S80 SRS Service msge., srs service, srs airbag


Question
Can you tell me how to erase the "srs  airbag service urgent" messege? I was erasing "time for regular service" messege after regular oil change. This is the first time I've seen this, I know there is nothing wronge with the system.

Answer
Vic,
If the SRS light is on there is a code stored in the control unit. The codes need to be read and repair any fault and then you are able to clear the code and the light will remain off. So a trip to a shop that has the proper scanners to read and clear codes is in order. If you want to just give it a shot in the dark, try to disconnect the battery for just a few minutes. But the SRS c/unit has stand-by power and if there is a code as I expect it (the light) will remain on until the fault is fixed.
