System Operation Check
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 173 other vehicles, including the 2003 Volvo XC90, 2003 Volvo XC70, 2003 Volvo V70, 2003 Volvo V40, and 2003 Volvo S80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
When ignition switch is in ON or ACC position and SRS warning light remains on or flashes, the air bag sensor assembly has detected a malfunction code. If, after about 6 seconds, SRS warning light sometimes lights up or SRS warning light lights up even when ignition switch is OFF, a short in the SRS warning light circuit can be considered likely.
Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON position. SRS warning light should come on for about 6 seconds, then go out. If air bag warning light does not operate as specified, service air bag system.
