Power Seat Control Module: Testing and Inspection

Downloading software and replacing the control module

New software can be downloaded into the power seat module (PSM). When software is ordered, the software and hardware of the vehicle are compared with Volvo's central database. If the comparison corresponds, the software is downloaded into the control module.
If the comparison between the car and Volvo central database is not OK, the database is updated with the car configuration. New software is downloaded after the update is complete.
A control module may already have software installed which will result in incorrect information being updated in the Volvo Central Database. To avoid this, tick the box in the VIDA software manager indicating the hardware has been replaced when the control module has been replaced.
