V40 Airbag Warning Light

Airbag warning light illuminated on my 2019 Volvo V40 diesel after 43098 km. I've checked the basic fuses, but no luck. Anyone experienced this SRS light?

Summary of the thread

The airbag warning light on a 2019 Volvo V40 diesel illuminated after 43,098 km. Initial checks of basic fuses did not resolve the issue. A similar problem in another vehicle was caused by a defective cable or plug connection to an airbag component, often disrupted by seat movement. The recommended solution was to have a workshop diagnose the issue, which revealed a defective plug connection, subsequently repaired for 95€.

I had a similar problem with my old Opel Astra. The SRS light was on constantly, likely from a defective cable or plug connection to an airbag component. Have you checked the wiring harnesses and connectors under the seats? Moving the seats can disrupt them.

I jiggled the seat connectors, hoping for a miracle, but it didn't fix it. Is there a specific connector I should focus on, or a way to test these connections without special equipment? Should I be concerned about car safety?

On the Astra, it was a faulty connector under the driver's seat, specifically for the side airbag. Without diagnostic equipment, it's difficult to pinpoint. Given the potential impact on automotive safety, I recommend having a workshop check it. They can read error codes and identify the defective component more accurately.

Following your advice, I took my V40 to a workshop. It was indeed a defective plug connection, just as suspected, after a bumpy drive. They sorted it, and all is working again. The repair cost 95€.
