Problem overview

Some Volvo S80 owners report experiencing an illuminated airbag light accompanied by an urgent SRS message, indicating a critical issue with the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) that requires immediate attention. These owners note that the SRS Airbag Service Urgent message can be triggered by various factors, including malfunctions within the airbag system, low battery voltage, or a defective passenger occupancy sensor. Additionally, specific error codes such as SRS-0115 or SRS-B00021A may be associated with this warning, necessitating thorough diagnosis and resolution. It is crucial for owners to address this issue promptly, as a malfunctioning SRS system can lead to the airbags being deactivated or unable to deploy correctly, posing significant safety risks in the event of an accident. To resolve these concerns, many owners are advised to have their vehicles inspected by a Volvo-certified technician who can accurately diagnose and repair the problem. In some instances, the manufacturer may offer solutions for known issues, including the replacement of faulty components at no charge.
