V70 Airbag Warning Light

Airbag warning lamp illuminated in my 2002 Volvo V70 diesel. Fuses are fine. Could this be a defective connection or something worse? Mileage is 207423 km.

I had a similar experience in my V70, though not the diesel. Is the warning light consistent, or does it come and go? Any recent work done that might have involved disconnecting wiring related to the restraint system?

Thanks for the quick reply. The warning light is consistently on. No recent repairs or maintenance that would involve disconnecting any wiring. Could this be a faulty sensor?

A consistent light points to a definite fault. Since you've ruled out recent work, it sounds like a sensor issue or broken wire. My issue was a faulty connector under a seat, a pain to find. I'd recommend a workshop check. The repair shouldn't be too expensive.

Thanks for the help. I'll schedule a workshop appointment to diagnose the issue. I was quoted 95€ to fix a defective cable or plug connection. I will post the final resolution.
