GUIDE: How to replace the SRS Control module
This is a guide for people who get the dreaded SRS-0001 "Control module internal fault" Error Code. This error code comes up when the SRS Control module is faulty. It will trigger the SRS light and you won't be able to erase any other SRS error codes. A new unit from Volvo is around £300. The good news is that you can get a second hand one for around £25-£40. Quite a few people with this problem were told that the replacement module must be programmed by a dealer. I have tested and swapped a few of these and can confirm with 100% certainty that NO PROGRAMMING is needed. It is a straight plug and play. Just make sure you check the part number of your SRS module and get the same one.
For this job, you will need:
The SRS control module is located under the centre console, which will need to be removed. Lift the gear lever leather gaiter from the rear Remove the rubber mat Push these two clips towards the middle and lift up the gear lever suround trim Unplug the 12V lighter connector. Open the lid of the centre console and remove the rubber mat Using a flat blade screwdriver or a penknife blade, unclip this plastic cover Undo the two screws Undo these two screws too at the front of the centre console Raise the centre console from the rear and wiggle it out. You may have to raise or lower the handbrake lever to make it easier for the centre console to slide out Now the centre console is out of the way, you can see the SRS module secured by 3 10mm bolts. Undo them DO NOT try to pull the SRS Module pink connector. You just need to push in that small pink lug and slide the orange bracket over it. It will unlock and lift the connector up. To plug in the large pink connector back to the SRS module, make sure the orange bracket is in the open position. Place (DO NOT PUSH) the pink connector on the SRS module and simply slide the orange bracket over until it locks. The pink connector will go in while you are rotating/sliding the orange bracket To fit everything back together, just follow this guide in the reverse order.

Hi - do you still have the photos that accompany this guide. I need to remove the SRS control module from a 2007 C70 and the V50 is similar I'm told.
Thanks |

I've started remaking all my guides on Facebook, so here is the guide: https://www.facebook.com/notes/alex-...8024701621953/
I am afraid that this guide is for the older S40 MK1 and not the newer MK2, which indeed are pretty much the same as the 2007 C70

Removing the arm wrest console is a ball ache. It's so tricky. It's like the hand brake is in the way. Will I have tlo remove it?

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.
