S60 Electrics: - Resetting 'airbag service urgent' message

Jonny5isalive · Jun 26th, 2015, 20:33

Hi all, I've just changed my headunit workings over and now on the DIM it reads Airbag Service Urgent with amber triangle showing (it must be a sensitive soul). I was told this may happen when fiddling with the wiring loom to the HU. So can it be reset, it will get on my pips sooner or later?

Cheers

For the climate srs, you'll need a good quality reader that can clear airbag faults.
So an Autel, iCarsoft 906 or the Volvo dedicated Dice/Vida.
In future, ignition off and key removed for 15 minutes minimum before undoing anything electrical and especially any green connectors.
Belt and braces approach is to take off the battery negative lead also.

If anyone reading this in the north west has the same problem they're welcome to use my laptop to reset it with vida. Just PM me.

Yeah, I forgot this basic rule of thumb in the excitement of the thought of having music again!
