How to Reset SRS warning light?
Hi,
I had to take out my drivers seat and replace the runners but before re-connecting the plugs under the seat I started the engine and the SRS warning light came on. They are all connected now but the light is staying on. Is there a trick to reset it? Can anyone recommend a cheap OBDII tool that can reset it if not? Cheers |

There is NO WAY to re-set it WITHOUT going into a dealership I'm afraid If you explain what happened i'm sure they will be sympathetic & do it fer a few quid

The system does a self check every time you turn the ignition on so a fault must still be present.
Once you find and cure the fault the light should go out. As Keith has implied you need either a VCT2000 or a DICE to communicate with the car. Either via a dealer or someone else who has the equipment and knows how to use it properly. For the pre me7 stuff I seem to recall that VADIS advises you to put the ignition key into pos I before reconnecting the battery after playing with SRS stuff. It might be different for ME7. Find out how to fix it before going any further.... replacing air bag modules is very expensive, esp the SIPS which are £600 per side.

Also... Before reconnecting the battery, switch the ignition to position II, this sometimes helps by giving the electronics a 'soft' start. I discovered this tip somewhere in the forums (goodness knows where) when I was doing quite a bit of work on my V70 where I kept taking out the top half of the dash - and because of the passenger airbag, I always disconnected the battery. Each time I reconnected, I was getting the dreaded flashing up arrow for the auto box (cleared by starting, stopping and restarting about five times... a right pain). Read the tip about the 'soft' start and never had the problem again. Worth a try, anyway.

As Andrew said SRS re-sets are a reet pain ..... which is why my Steering wheel is STILL about 5 Degrees off Central .. There aint NO WAY I'm disconnecting the damned Air bag just to straighten it up !!!

I've recently swapped my steering wheel for a newer (less worn out) one with the wood trim. Took me 20 minutes. Why is it 5 deg off central? Has the steering wheel been off before? If not then it's a tracking issue and should be corrected with the track rods.

You don't actually need Vadis to reset it, there's other tools like Autocom/Delphi, Launch etc that will do it.
Most garages should be able to put the light off for you. The cheapo OBD tools won't work though you will need a tool a bit better.

Default BSR code reader
Product Description * Reset service indicator * Read all DTCs * Erase all DTCs * Handles all control units The ultimate diagnostic tool for Volvo is here - PPC® Diagnostic System! The diagnostic tool is developed by BSR and it can both read and erase DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) and it can also reset the service reminder lamp (SRL). Its compact format makes it easy to use and carry around. Trouble shooting is easy and quick via the diagnostic outlet of the car (OBDII). All control units, all trouble codes PPC® Diagnostic System is able to both read and erase all DTCs for all control systems on a Volvo car. In an ordinary Volvo S60 there are more than 10 different control units that control the engine, transmission, ABS, airbag, radio, air conditioner, electric windows etc. PPC® can handle all control systems in the car, and it’s able to perform fault diagnostics on nearly 40 different control units and more than 8000 DTCs. Unique product The possibility to perform fault diagnostics on all control systems in a Volvo car, together with a beneficial pricing, makes PPC® Diagnostic System to a unique product on the market. Before it was impossible for independent workshops to perform a complete fault finding for a reasonable price. PPC® Diagnostic System makes that possible! For who? When you’ve worked with a car - repaired something, exchanged some parts, or just cut out the current – the car can indicate several DTCs despite that there is nothing wrong with the car. To get these DTCs erased you often have to spend a lot of time and money. PPC® Diagnostic System solves the problem! We can recommend our product to: Volvo workshops looking for portable equipment. * Independent workshops * Sheet-metal workers and auto paint shops * Alarm- and stereo installation contractors * Companies with a large car fleet e.g. taxi and car dealers * Private persons fixing at home Vehicle coverage PPC® Diagnostic System works with all Volvo from 2001-2007 but there are exceptions to be aware of. Exceptions: * S80 1999-2006 works * S80 D/D5/TDI 1999-2000 does not work * C70 98-05 does not work * S/V40 96-04 does not work |
