Can you find out what the original fault code was?
Volvos are not as easy to clear stored SRS codes as some other cars. What were they using to attempt to clear it? |

Thanks for reply. Do not know what was the number of code etc. All he said was airbag is dead.
They use Snap On comp. Will plug somewhere else and will find out what the code is. Cheers |

I had SRS trouble two years ago. An icarsoft 906 could not establish communication with the SRS module. I got VIDA and it found a stage 1 resistance too high on the steering wheel bag. Disconnecting the bag I put in a bag mimic resistor which helped verify that the fault lay with the ribbon cable which I replaced with a used item. Still the light stayed on. There was now an internal module error. I sent it away for reloading software to no avail. I replaced the module with a used item. The module error was gone but two other codes remained which were cleared by VIDA.
Snap On are a fairly high end piece of kit. I don't know if it is fully capable of clearing Volvo stored codes. |

Unless you are getting the correct codes you could end up playing parts bingo.
I git VIDA from @cheshired5, installed on a W7 Pro machine and it has paid for itself many times over. |
