Pastry's suspiciously cheap XC90 2.5T

Needs work but not a lost cause, the ideal enthusiast car! What did you end up picking it up for?

Post a pic of the 2 SAS all the airbags only have the two connectors pink/yellow?

Usually the third connector is for steering wheel buttons

pastry

Hmm well that's interesting. This is the one I ordered:

timbo

I don't recall ever seeing a 3 plug one

pastry

Guess I should've checked better, seemed logical to order the one marked for cars with DSTC though.

pastry

Ok I guess I need P/N #31313083

bugger

Oddly, iPd say it fits, FCP say it doesn't..

Volvo say it does so suppose I'd best trust them!

timbo

Sandwood trading usually keep them in stock

No luck yet getting my DiCE to actually interface between VIDA and the the car. I can see it in the Win7 VM but it seems like it hasn't installed correctly.

If anyone has drivers for the DiCE could you please share? These seem to be quite hard to locate. Ta!

Pm me your gmail address so I can share via Google drive

VIDA, DiCE and the old 90 are talking.

I used a newer Win10 VM in the end but think the key might’ve been enabling USB 3.0 in the VM via VirtualBox extensions add on.

I’ve had a poke about but will perhaps get better acquainted before posting here again. Making the windows go up and down from a browser is pretty cool ;)

pastry

Angle sensor in, calibrated and happy.

SRS still shitting itself - will not clear.

hrrmph :(

pastry

Codes for ref.

(wow, that image displays considerably bigger than source!)

pastry

Am I reading this right? It appears the fault is not occurring in the current cycle, assume that might mean it’s OK.

But why can’t I clear SRS codes if that’s the case?

Does it need a number of cycles to clear?

Philia_Bear

Did you clear codes using the delivery tab?

pastry

Yep that’s right. Hear I may need to clear ECM (or was it CEM?) specifically first and then SRS - I know you can select and then choose “Erase SRS” for example.

I’ve got the center console apart to give the SRS module connectors a blast of contact cleaner just in case that helps. I’ll also see if I can sort out the sticky radio button while I’m about it with the -ve cable off.

I’ve also heard a battery disconnect might help allow the SRS to clear but I’m not confident.

So to be clear - the green light should mean I can clear, at least in theory?

Which perhaps points to software or the SRS module itself. My guess is it’s going to Volvo for a software reload.

i bought twof my Volvos for very cheap because of broken alternators, car battery runs flat and owner thinks the car is dead.

pastry

I stripped out some interior and checked to see if there had been any issue with water/coffee ingress to the SRS module, looked in perfect clean shape. Gave the connector a spray with contact cleaner anyway.

Cleaned out the filth inside the air quality sensor, not sure if that helped or not.

Fixed the sticky button on the stereo panel, or rather it appeared to fix itself – no longer stuck pressed in. Perhaps something got lodged in there and simply removing the unit was enough to shake it loose.

Reassembled, battery back on, still got an SRS message and can't clear it.

So guess I will book in with Moss Vale Volvo and hold my wallet very tightly.

You want to try a teamviewer session with me first on friday to see if I can do something?

Also... you want a known good airbag to try with it to see if its not just the bag?

pastry

@Philia_Bear cheers Mike, that's really good of you.

I'm sure the airbag would be worth checking, but unless you are heading down this way? :) I had another but sold it a while back in a job lot with a load of those S60 bits I had.. typical!

Teamviewer would be good (or Google hangs, or zoom, or... any of those guys making a few bucks right now!) – only issue is time because I've got VIDA on my wife's lappy, which she uses for work 3 days a week.. including Fridays!

When would suit?

Philia_Bear

I can do in the evening or this weekend etc I'm flexible!

You are allowed to visit someone as of Friday so if your up for the drive I have the spare airbag here etc

Pm me, I'll give you my mobile and we can have a chat and work it from there

pastry

@Philia_Bear ah you see the problem is the rego is up! Otherwise yeah i'd be happy to drive up. I could come for the bag but not bring the 90.

might have your mobile from way back, unless it has changed. Will give you a bell tomorrow.
