Problem overview

Some Volvo V70 owners report experiencing SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) module failure after a jump start, which can trigger the "SRS airbag - service urgent" message. This issue necessitates prompt attention to ensure the vehicle's safety features are operational. Many owners find that starting with a software download at a dealership is effective, as this solution boasts a success rate of around 90%. If the software fix does not resolve the problem, some owners may need to consider replacing the SRS module, although it is advisable to explore software options first. Additionally, checking the wires and connectors to the SRS module is crucial, as physical issues can lead to errors. Ensuring that all connectors are clean and in good condition is also recommended before proceeding with any module replacement.
