S80 1999 SRS service ugent light on, code 26, reset??

Hi Guys,
This is my first post so here we go.
I have a S80 1999 and the light and message SRS service urgent has come on.

I have done some research and did the following:
1. Press the odometer reset button
2 put the key in and turned it to pos 1.
3. After 10 secs the message screen has the number 26
4. Tried to turn key to pos 11 for a further 5 secs to reset meesage but it will not reset.

I think was caused the light to come was a very hot day and I opened all 4 electric windows before starting the motor.
I suspect this caused the voltage to drop and cause the error message.
We also have the occasional message 'low voltage' message but the car starts OK. Buy I guess the battery is weak

So my questions are as follows:
Q1 What is code 26 mean? Can't find this anywhere.
Q2 Can I reset the SRS light at home?
I read something about the battery being disconnected causes it to come on but you may have to disconnect the battery for 15 minutes.
Any suggestion greatly appreciated. Marke.

I did connect the battery for 15minutes.
It then rained, so I closed the boot (where the battery is).
How long do you think took to open the electric boot when the battery is in the boot, disconnected?
Regards Marke.

hi marke dealer wants $900 for new airbag,i think we should wait for someone else to jump in here,because this maybe an easier fix once we know more about it. sounds fishy y would my airbag in the seat fail,and yours too. as of now i don't know anyway to reset light accept dealer.

Thanks very much for the information.
I have noticed the electric seats doesn't move when you push the memory 1, 2 or 3 button but the seat does move when you use different remote controls.
The controls for moving the seat still work. I wonder if a switch harness has come loose under the seat?
I will post the same question on another site and let you know if I find anything out.
Regards Marke.

I triggered my SRS light a while ago when I removed my CD player.

Tried your procedure and also got a 26 in the message window.
It would be interesting if someone who doesn't have a light tries this, I'm not sure of this number is actually related to the problem you're having.

There is a code reader that can reset your light, it's made by BSR (as mentioned above in one of the posts). I ordered one from ESEtuning but just got an email saying they've temporarily stopped shipping them. BSR is working on a new version.
