Default Srs-013d fault-can't be reset

Folks, my airbag light came on yesterday, Gatos has kindly reset it for me a couple of times before. As luck would have it, I had a proper auto electrician coming out to look at one of our other cars today anyway. He plugged his diagnostic machine into it. and came up with the SRS-013D Left SIPS Bag. Fault Signal code. No other codes.

He tried to reset it several times, but the light kept returning, with the same fault code. He's a very good diagnostic mechanic with decent kit who I've used before, so as confident as I can be that if he couldn't sort it a Dice probably won't (?) I have a Dice and software,, bough recently, but don't have a laptop to run it from at the moment.

Any ideas on the likely cause here and if it's worth the time and money to sort it, as I'm a fairly basic DIY'er. Car's MOT'd til June next. year so I can drive it until then. I'm reluctant to spend unnecessary money to chase the problem, hence I haven't bought the laptop yet. (I know that sounds tight!!)

I've read some other threads about this, but am not a lot clearer on where to go, checking sensor under B pillar etc et.

Thanks in advance.

Vida will give an explanation for the code and the possible causes and fixes so just get Vida set up.

it is pretty simple really , there is a problem in the circuit for the seat side air bag , the light will not reset until the fault is cured . There is a volvo test tool which fits in place of the air bag it simulates a good air bag so if it clears with that fitted instead of the air bag it will be the air bag , if it continues to play up look towards the wiring between air bag and SRS unit . You are lucky to have such an advanced safety device it would be a pity not to have it there saving you ...
