SRS warning light reset tool for a 2000 S70

[precopster]

??

Mike, the Autel units *absolutely* reset the SRS on 850's etc. I've done it several times with my eu702.

More than one way to skin that cat.

That's great to know Erik. Thanks

Thanks erikv11, I ordered eu702. Hopefully, it will erase the SRS warning.

I suggest you read the code with your scanner first to see which item has been implicated. It will point you to driver's steering wheel airbag or passenger (dash) airbag.

If it won't clear and it still points you to one of the above call in and we'll help you locate the connector which may need a simple unplug/replug to scrape off corrosion.

My SRS light is on due to code SRS-222 "Passenger Air Bag Signal Missing". It came back on again a few months after first reset. Can you please show me how to locate the connector?

Thank you very much!

First and most importantly disconnect the battery.

Then remove the storage area under the glovebox then remove the glovebox.

Up high on the dashboard you'll find a orange connector leading to a barrel shaped object. This is the passenger airbag. Clean the earth lead which should be bolted in somewhere close to the airbag. Then disconnect and reconnect the connector for the airbag.

Even after this you will need a scanner to reset the SRS code. An Autel EU-702 will handle it or a Vida/Dice setup.

Checked Vol-FCR model coverage: http://www.ilexa.co.uk/diagnostic-tools ... erage.html
It appears that only 97-98 S70 or V70 is covered by Vol-FCR, so that ruled out the least expensive option for a 2000 S70/V70.

Thanks a lot for the instruction. Sounds easy enough. Also thanks for your reminding that to disconnect battery first, and then when reconnecting battery, turn key to position II.

1. When disconnecting the battery, do you disconnect both posts or only one?

2. If you disconnect both posts, which one do you disconnect first? Or does it not matter?

3. When reconnecting the battery, is the ignition turned to pos II before reconnecting the battery or afterwards?

[precopster]

One disconnected lead is plenty.

This answers question 2.

When reconecting on pre P2 cars any ignition position will do. P80 electrics are not fussy and always re energise properly in my experience.

If it's a P2 car place ignition to PosII prior to reconnecting the battery.

Working with airbags it is important to eliminate any static charge that may reside on you or in the cars electrical system. This can be done by disconnecting the battery then touching the cables to each other (while avoiding the positive post on the battery) or after disconnecting the battery stepping on the brakes a few times and turning the key to Pos II. As far as disconnecting batteries, always disconnect ground first and attach positive first when connecting, this eliminates the chances of sparks occuring. Any time after seat/seatbelt/airbag work you should be safe and eliminate the chance of an airbag blowing up in your face. Those things are landmines. Also never check resistance on an airbag, the small amount of electricity sent to measure resistance can, and will set them off.
