this myself if it's at all possible!

Has anyone ever had to turn off an SRS airbag fault tell-tale? There
might or might not be a genuine fault, but I don't care either way. Being
of a certain age I just want the warning got rid of. The car is a 2008
Volvo V70 if that makes any difference.

The airbag deployment circuit is tested each time you turn
the ignition on. I suspect at best, you could disable it
until next time the ignition is turned on.

Airbags are generally rated for 10 year life, and it might
be that yours has detected that it's gone over 10 years old.
Check if the service schedule for your car expects replacement
after 10 years.
