Volvo models this fault code applies to
Applies to the following models:
7 modelsS60 (2011–), S80 (2007–), V60 (2011–), V60 Cross Country (2015–), V70 (2008–), XC60 (2009–), XC70 (2008–)
What does this fault code mean?
In the adaptive steering column circuit the SRS module measures resistance. If the resistance stays too low for too long, the code is stored. The fault is a short-circuit in the wiring, the connections or the igniter section of the column.
Possible causes
- Shorts in the wiring
- Short-circuit at the connections
- Short-circuit in the adaptive steering column, where the igniter section has too low a resistance
What you can do
- 1Read and clear the code, then test drive to see whether it returns
- 2Have a workshop check the wires and connections between the SRS module and the adaptive steering column for shorts to other wires in the circuit
- 3If the wiring is sound, have a workshop replace the adaptive steering column
- 4Leave the SRS work to a workshop and do not do it yourself
Symptoms you may notice2
- SRS warning lamp on
- An SRS warning message is shown
