The question is often asked, "Can supplemental restraints system wiring be repaired?" The answer is: it depends on the vehicle maker. Let's take a look at Volvo's position on this subject.
Volvo provides restraint wiring information within vehicle-specific service manuals. This information may be found in different locations.
Found under: Information ➤ Repair ➤ Removal, Replacement And Installation ➤ 3 Electrical ➤ 37 Cables And Fuses ➤ Wiring ➤ Cable harness SRS System, Repair (this is linked within the wiring document). Volvo service information states: "Caution! As the SRS system is a safety system, it is extremely important that these instructions are carefully followed when carrying out repairs in the cable harness."
Other manuals provide restraint wiring repair information under: Information ➤ Repair ➤ Cleaning, Inspection And Adjustment ➤ 3 Electrical System ➤ 37 Cables And Fuses ➤ 371 Cables ➤ Wiring Harness Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
Both areas will provide information on repairs including recommend tools to complete the repair. The Wiring Harness Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) document includes links to other information such as Battery Disconnecting And Connecting, Cable Terminals Surface Treatment, and Junction Sleeve.
