DESCRIPTION:
Volvo has identified that the wiring harness under the driver and or passenger front seat may not have been properly secured to the seat frame during vehicle assembly. The wiring harness under the front seat on affected vehicles may get caught on the audio or back up camera amplifier when the front seat is adjusted. If this condition occurs, the wiring harness connector may detach and the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) may not function as intended. The SRS warning lamp in the instrument panel will illuminate and the message "SRS service required urgent" will be displayed in the Driver Information Module (DIM).
The following components may be affected:
^ Seat belt buckle, if the signal is absent the front airbag(s) will deploy as if the person in the seat is unbelted.
^ Side Impact Protection System (SIPS), if signal is absent the side impact air bag will not deploy.
^ Occupant weight Sensor (OWS) (only on front passenger seat), if signal is absent the SRS system will not deploy the passenger front airbag due to that it cannot determine if a small person/child seat is present or not in the passenger seat.
^ Seat Track Position Sensor (STPS), if signal is absent the SRS system cannot determine the position of the seat and the front air bag will deploy with full power.
^ Pelvis Lap Protection (PLP), if signal is absent the lap belt pretentioner will not deploy.
PRODUCT MODIFICATION:
The corrective action will be to inspect the seat wiring under both front seats, and only if necessary secure the wiring per the instructions attached to this document.
SERVICE:
Check the cable harness position according to attached instruction.
If the cable harness is out of position adjust the cables according to attached instruction
