hello. i have an s40 2008 r design and my srs service urgent msg is showing up and ut cannot be cleared.
Now im thinking of replacing the module with the one i found at the volvo breakers. The part numbers are the same, so will it need to be programmed and also, will be msg go away or it needs to be cleared?

If donor is from the same car (the same MY same model and same configuration of SRS system it wont need to be programmed)

Plus if you have DiCE I can do software transfer from old module to the new one.
Or just clear these unerasable errors.

If the new module and software fits your car and this module does not have any error codes stored the message should go away.

thank you, so if the software dont match, does it need to be programmed and will any mechanic be able to do it or i will need to go to the main dealer?

With some generic scanner you can clear error codes only (if scanner supports SRS modules)

Hiya, today I replaced my sirs control module with a second hand car off a vehicle that never had an accident, but the light are still on, This time will the lights go off if I go to a local garage?
