Section 6 (Air Bag Restraint Systems): Diagnostics: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Volvo V40 and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING: Failure to follow SERVICE PRECAUTIONS may result in air bag deployment and personal injury. See AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS .

NOTE: After component replacement, ensure proper system operation. Perform See SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK . DO NOT use ohmmeter or other self-powered meter to test resistance of air bag inflator/module or seat belt tensioner. Use SRS Test Resistor (998 1506) in place of air bag modules or seat belt tensioner when testing resistance of any SRS circuit. SRS test resistor specified resistance is 1.8-2.5 ohms, which is same as components it replaces. Test resistor can be "deployed" if deployment voltage is applied to it while connected to SRS. Ensure test resistor resistance is as specified after each use. If resistance is not as specified, replace test resistor.
