Connecting special tool
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Connect special tool 9988695 to steering wheel module connector.
This makes it possible to drive the car without the SRS on-board diagnostic (OBD) system registering a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
HINT: If the ignition is switched on when neither the steering wheel module nor special tool are connected, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will be stored indicating an open-circuit in the cable. Any diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) must be erased.
