Hi all,
As per my other thread I now have my horn working but am now stuck with air bag reinstallation because no matter what I do, I get the SRS light on the dash constantly. The attached picture shows what I'm faced with. I've aligned the bag up on the wheel and connected the green tab into the back of the airbag but the SRS light just stays lit so consequently I can't go for MOT! And I can't find a way to reset the light as I don't seem to have the diagnostics in the engine bay as I've read on other threads so I'm at a total loss what to do. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks James

Oh dear ... I haven't the faintest. However I suspect that your car has OBD 2 and not the 'little black box' of OBD1 in the engine bay. For OBD2 you need a reader that plugs into a socket which I believe may be in or near the central arm rest/box to the left of the driver's arm!

Just to ckeck, and save it being everyones 1st question, i'm asssuming you have tried disconecting the battery and leaving it a hr or so to reset the computers.
And are you reinstalling the original airbag, or is it a different one? PP |

Found this in the archives...
https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/archi.../t-102112.html Aug 15th, 2014, 13:02 I used my brother's code reader yesterday, it's a Delphi 105 and works great with my 1997 940. We used it to reset the abs light as it found the rear diff sensor was playing up. Quick clean and it's been fine. I didn't get chance to reset the alarm control module as I forgot my uncoded fob but it looks like it can clear the memory on the control module too. Maybe worth a stab... |

I was under the assumption that obd2 readers wouldn't work on the 940 and you needed a homemade reader?

On the back of the airbag itself is there anything that you need to align or moves into a central position before fitting? The wheels need to be straight ahead, presume steering wheel as well if took it off and my guess the rear of the airbag must have some kind of alignment to the interior of the steering wheel. Seems needs to be dead ahead.
I presume you also bolted/ fixed it back into position? The nice clean shiny mounts a possible earth for the airbag? Could you photo the back of the airbag? Good luck. James ![]() Last edited by volvo always; Aug 7th, 2018 at 13:56. |

[QUOTE=James_N;2434601] I'm not sure what Is meant on the ribbon about three turns left or right but as there is only one lead to reconnect I'm not sure you can do it wrong?
It means do not turn the driving mechanism more than 3 full turns left or right. For example, if you have the steering column disconnected you can just turn the steering wheel round and round. What it is telling you is do not turn more than 3 turns either way if that makes sense. |

Ah right I understand so really I should just be able to plug the airbag in then. There is no other connections to worry about. The first time I fitted it I did all the screw's back up but on repositioning it today I haven't screwed it in as I've been fannying around with the connections. It should plug and play with no SRS errors but it doesn't seem to want to play for some reason.
