Just got this message when starting the car. My guess is that the airbag is disabled because of some fault. I guess Austin hot sun was too much...<p>I scheduled service for next week (when the loaner car will be available). <br>Have to be careful and not get into any collisions until next Wednesday.

Re: Got message: SRS-AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT (sliberman)
Got the same message when i disconnected the radio to replace burnt out bulbs before i disconnected the battery. something to do with the MOST system. did you do any work/disconnect any wiring on the center console recently?<p>Trip to my indie service center was a no charge reset of the computer. if you go to your dealer they most likely will charge you $75 to do the same thing.<p>Maybe you have a loose connection that was exposed by the austin heat?

The message appeared all by itself. I did not do anything out of the day to day use of the car. It could be that some connection got loose, but the car seems to be working well.<p>If it was just a glitch in the electronics, then a reset may fix it. I worry about an actual problem with the air bag.

Service checked car, the SRS-AIRBAG module is OK, but had stopped communicating with the rest of the car, hence the alarm.<p>The fix required rebooting the software in the car, for a paltry $190.<br>For a computer glitch. Not covered by the extended warranty. Nice.<br> <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/mad.gif" BORDER="0">

Re: Got message: SRS-AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT (sliberman)
So the message is back, less than a day after picking the car from service. <br>Obviously there is some sort of bad contact in a cable or screwed-up electronics that cannot take 120F heat. <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/mad.gif" BORDER="0">

Re: Got message: SRS-AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT (sliberman)
They found out (after calling some Volvo center) that the rear end air bag sensor was faulty. They replaced the sensor and the problem went away.<br>For some days.<p>The red light and the message warning are back. <p>I am getting less and less impressed with Roger Beasley Volvo service here in Austin. <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/mad.gif" BORDER="0">

Car still not ready. <br>The whole wiring harness for the airbag sensors is being replaced. <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/eek.gif" BORDER="0"> <br>May be ready by Tuesday (= 13 days at the service).
