Power Trunk / Liftgate Control Module: Testing and Inspection

Downloading software and replacing the control module

General
New software can be downloaded into the Power Operated Tailgate Module (POT). When software is ordered the software and hardware of the vehicle are compared with Volvo's central database. If the comparison corresponds then the software is downloaded into the control module.
If the comparison between the vehicle and the Volvo central database does not correspond, the database is updated with the vehicle configuration, and then the software and any security codes (Security access code) is downloaded.
