Downloading software and replacing the control module

Software downloading
It is possible to download new software to the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM).
When ordering software the vehicle's hardware and software are compared with Volvo's central database. If the comparison is correct the software is downloaded to the control module.
If the comparison between the car and Volvo's central database does not correspond, then the database is updated with the vehicle's configuration. When this is complete the software is downloaded.
