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.

read the fault from the SRS ECU, work out which plug to clean, and then
maybe reset it if it doesn't automatically clear on the next self-test.

I recently replaced a sensor on a Ford as the Airbag light came on.
Corrosion had caused a pin to come away, and the sensor presumably
failed its self-test.

This was using Forscan. I have no idea if there is an equivalent for Volvos.
