Hello Gatos
thanks for your reply, I've followed the thread through to hopefully enable to send a PM. Regarding the code reading, I've not had this done this time. When I had the codes checked in 2018 it cost me £60 and the problem was then fixed by fitting a replacement control unit which cost me £45. In April 2019 the dashboard warning light came on again, I purchased another second hand control unit for £25, fitted it and the light went off, albeit only to come back on again a few weeks after the car had passed its MOT in May. I might be wrong, but I am thinking that reconnecting or replacing the control unit will get rid of the dashboard warning light hence resolving the problem. |

There is no need replacing the SRS module, every time the SRS light goes on, unless if the actual module becomes faulty. From experience, most times the SRS light comes on, it is due to the SIPS airbag connector under the driver's or passenger's seats. A simple reset fixes the problem. If you are good with computers, and planning to keep the car for a few years, it may be worth investing on a Volvo DiCE diagnostic tool, with the VIDA software. It costs about £60 on ebay and can rear/erase codes. Bought quite a few years back and have reset my own SRS light on at least 5-6 occasions. So after just one use, it more or less paid itself off

The pretentioners fire once and then they are dead If the seatbelt pretensioners fired, they did their job and saved your bacon. They must be replaced with pretensioners that have not been fired (ie: new)

Thanks for the information Gatos. I am not great with computers, to be honest. I am currently planning on keeping the car for another 12-18 months so it will need to go through a couple more MOTs. I guess from the sounds of things I am best taking the car to the nearby Volvo specialist and getting the codes read in order to determine exactly what I need to do.

Under the centre console. Handy enough to get out if you take your time.

You need the S40/V50/C30 forum as this one deals with the classic S40/V40. Completely different cars.
