SRS code 5 repeats 200 1991

Greetings to all ~

SRS code 5 - 1991 240 = The SRS light came after I had made a turn with the steering wheel turned to the maximum. The steering rack seemed to screech out. The steering is fine on the car, I reset the SRS light to turn off, but when I drove off the light returned with the same code 5. Could it be that when the steering wheel was to its maximum it caused a problem within the steering wheel column?
My search found
"Corrective Actions - Check gas generator connector. Check wiring and contact reel for open circuit. Replace air bag module.

    So I removed the contact reel again today to repair the crushed leg, 1 of 3 that holds it onto the steering column. After using gorilla glue to repair the piece, I reinstalled it. Then I read the SRS code again it was 5. I was able to reset the SRS light after reading the 5 code about five times straight. Drove down the street and on my first left turn the light returned reading a code 5 again. I'll just wait until my pull & pay has a 240 1990-1993 to get a clock reel.

    Thanks for all your help./

    Thanks for the information.
    My pull and pay is plum out of 90's 240 models. Would most early 90's volvo fit? Up until what 90's model will fit?
    Non-cruse control.

      Volvo PN 3516353 is NLA from the stealersip. Tasca's entry:

      Apparently the plastic 'legs' the three silver screw secure to can break from the body, I'd read once someplace. Epoxy or ??? Unless the failure is something else.

        Hi kitty,
        When I checked mine one of those "legs" is pretty broken. But how does that effect the performance and throw the code 5?

          Are you aware of the "lock screw" that needs to be in place on the clock spring before steering wheel is removed and taken out after steering wheel is installed? Looking on EBAY I'm seeing some Volvo 240 clock springs for sale without the "lock screw" which causes it to unravel and lose its positioning.

            Yes I read about that screw that can be removed from its storage spot and used to lock the clock in place for service. Then unlocked when reinstalled and locking screw then removed and returned to its storage spot. Thanks

            Yes I read about that screw that can be removed from its storage spot and used to lock the clock in place for service. Then unlocked when reinstalled and locking screw then removed and returned to its storage spot. If not "locked" in place it can be repositioned by counting the full turns then centering it 1/2 way as best as possible. Thanks

    At any point there may be a failure. The circuit involved is that which power air bag deployment, so be careful. Disconnect power before you do anything.

    Yeah, the contact reel or what some call the clock spring that also can carry the horn (I guess) and that's it. No cruise control on the 240 steering wheel. (Unless there is such a thing.)

    See here or maybe you have something like this info:

    Volvo 240 SRS Test Procedure (and early 700-900 [to the FAQ?]?)

    https://www.brickboard.com/RWD/volvo/1643232/volvo_240_srs_test_procedure_early_700900_091to_faq093.html

    Yet is not in the FAQ at least for the 700-900 bits.

    Hope that halps yooooooooooo...

    Happy punkin pie happiness day.

    No egg nawg, booze, or anything else macduff. 14 years alone this gd dang hollow day.

        Thank you CDCrawford.

        Though I don't feel like one and for a long time now. 14 years of isolated empty hollow dayze. No family and no friends. I try to do well and good.

        Maybe you can let the womyn know I'm a good man when they turn up their noses when I'm all online dating again sometime soon in spite of three sort of ugly Volvo 240s. Clear coat failure, missing trim, a few dents I put there.

        Here we go for a writer gig in Colorado Springs. The USAF be suckin' up all the local tech writers at an apace. Hopefully, through attrition, I'll get sucked into a private sector jobs. Good pay and bennies, low rents, and even lower humidity.

        St. Louis and the region is a slovenly, corrupt, humid, filthy, malodorous ugly toilet that needs a good flush. The environment here is awful.

        The reason for the awful craft beer here? It's the water. The water miuneral complex from the dog awful polluted MO and Mississloppi rivers, and the crap the water companies put in there make for bad beer.

        The middle of midwest denizens have a palate that ranges sweet, to salty, to greasy, to cigarettes.

        I well gal-pal that enjoys a reliable clean-burning Volvo 240 rise if shabby chic in appearance. Heck, rather she motor me around if she can jockey a clutch.

        Yesterday was brown poultry and orange gourd squash custard day. Now it is sheetz-giving: Murika's treatment plants in over drive. HA!

        Despise the hollow dayze. Despise them all.

        Be nice to have reason to like them again. And here comes the red and green egg nog hollow day.
