Volvo models this fault code applies to
This fault code has different meanings depending on model, model year or engine. Select the meaning that applies to your car.
Applies to the following models:
5 modelsS60 (2001–2009), S80 (1999–2006), V70 (2000–2008), V70 XC / XC70 (2001–2007), XC90 (2003–)
What does this fault code mean?
This fault applies to the circuit to the front right seat belt tensioner, where the electrical capacitance is too high. Capacitance is an electrical property of the wiring. The fault is intermittent, so it comes and goes.
Possible causes
- Capacitance too high in the connector
- The signal wire running to the SRS control module has too high capacitance
What you can do
- 1Read off the fault code, clear it and road test the car to see whether it comes back
- 2Have a workshop check the connectors at both ends of the signal wire for oxidation and contact resistance
- 3Have a workshop look for an intermittent short to ground in the wire between the control module and the tensioner, and repair what is found
- 4Do not work on the airbag system or the seat belt tensioners yourself; leave the checks to a workshop
