C70 Seats From Later Car Results In Airbag Light Latches
Hello everyone. I usually live on the Volvo 480 Club Europe forums as the C70 is new-ish to me and hasn't caused me much trouble until now (other than being a shakey mess on anything but a motorway but that's for another forum post one day!)
I have a 2001 C70 in which I replaced the seats with a set from a 2005 model (possibly from a user on here, "Acidicdavey"). The airbag light is on with the new seats installed and cannot be reset. I'd like help with this and any knowledge on whether there is some difference between the two years of car in regards to their airbag wiring. The reset is being attempted using a mechanic friends expensive handheld device, not a proper Volvo machine. Is it essential that I use a Volvo machine (VADIS?) I have previously removed the passenger airbag to replace the dashboard, while having the battery disconnected and had no problems afterwards.
Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between the airbag wiring between earlier and later seats? For example, I think I read something was added that only fires the airbag on an occupied seat at some point in the C70's design. I am think my next options are to either

Hi James
Can't help with whether there is a difference between 2001 and 2005 seats, but unfortunately I think you need access to VADIS to properly sort this out...which will probably mean a Volvo main dealer I guess. Nice seeing you on here for a change! David

I work shift so am off and at home until February 7th. You'd be welcome any time, or I'm happy to come to your work. I tried but failed to send a PM with my contact details. Maybe I can reply to one from you? The car is booked it in to Marshall's Volvo on Thursday for a diagnostic check. In this case, I'll cancel the appointment Last edited by GDPR; Jan 20th, 2020 at 17:33. |

Well PNuT came around with his VADIS machine and cleared the SRS light for me, which was much appreciated. Top bloke, thanks very much!
