Diagnostic steps? Haha, nah, just the warning light staring me down. Where do I even begin with DTCs? Is that something I can check myself or does it need special gear?

Whilst some basic OBDII readers can retrieve generic diagnostic trouble codes, Volvo-specific codes often require specialized diagnostic equipment to accurately interpret. Given the safety implications of a malfunctioning SRS, it is recommended to have the system professionally diagnosed. A defective cable or plug is a plausible cause. The eventual repair cost is likely to be around 95€

Okay, thanks for the reality check. Workshop it is! Turns out it WAS a dodgy connector. 95€ later and no more scary light. Cheers!

The airbag warning lamp illuminating typically indicates a fault within the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Could you provide more detail regarding any diagnostic steps you have undertaken? Are there any stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present?
