no because it would not get the message down the single data wire to sound .. and it could go off on it's own if the circuit board was corroded somewhere .

That's what I thought, so as the OP said the "siren works perfectly" (by which I took to mean it makes a noise when triggered) it would reasonable to assume the wiring was in good order.

Get Your codes looked at?
So how do I do this without paying volvo dealership hundreds of pounds??
Yes my alarm siren works perfectly. When I lock the door on the fob , but open the door with the key and open the door, the siren sounds and indicators flash. I am satisfied that the siren is fine. It's just the "Alsrm System Service Required " message I need to get rid of!! Any help appreciated |

Thanks Clan. Is it only Volvo dealers that can "get the fault codes and the last alarm cause read out"? A visit to a Volvo dealer can be a gut wrenchingly expensive experience - although am loath to invest £183 (on ebay) for a new siren unit - when the one I just took out and changed the battery in works perfectly well as an alarm and a siren. I just want the "Alarm system Service Required" message to disappear! I want someone with a code reader within easy reach of Witham Essex that can connect to my 2006 V70 D5 and delete this alarm system Service Required message (or alternatively a recommendation of a low cost reader that I can buy and conmnect to the car to do it myself!). Or is this impossible?

I don't believe you can delete that message as it not one that is stored. It is indicating a live fault (rightly or wrongly) so it does seem like you need to have the codes read which might pinpoint a fault with something like the mass movement sensor or tilt sensor (if fitted).

Thanks
Oh I see. It's possible that something else maybe broken? Something that has no obvious to the performance of the car??

I've just ordered a new alarm kit from Skandix.de. It's a genuine Volvo kit (Part No 9499758) all for 183 euros including courier delivery This is around £136 -£137 at current exchange rates which is a good saving over UK prices.
Here is a link. http://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts...n-kit/1029734/ |
