Programming Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Control Module

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 126 other vehicles, including the 1999 Volvo V70, 1999 Volvo S80, 1999 Volvo S70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1999 Volkswagen Passat. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: When programming control module, avoid interrupting control module voltage supply. Damage to control module may result. Control module parameters can only be set once. DO NOT connect Hand-Held Tester (HHT) to Data Link Connector (DLC) with ignition on. Damage to HHT may result.

NOTE: Hand-Held Tester (6511 0001 99) is necessary to set control module parameters.

After replacing control module, when ignition is turned on, SRS warning light will continuously blink or stay on, indicating that control module parameters need to be programmed. Turn ignition off. Connect HHT to DLC. DLC is located in right rear corner of engine compartment. It may be necessary to use Adapter (140 589 1463 00) to connect HHT to DLC. Follow HHT prompts to program replacement control module. Currently all control modules are programmed with the same parameters. After control module parameters are set, SRS warning light will go out.
