VIDA (Vehicle Information & Diagnostics for Aftersales)

During the second half of 2004, VADIS (Volvo Aftersales Diagnostic and Information System) was phased out and replaced by VIDA (Vehicle Information & Diagnostics for Aftersales). The purpose of VIDA is to support service providers in repairing and servicing Volvo vehicles. VIDA provides Service and Parts information, as well as diagnostic fault tracing, and software downloads. As in VADIS, these areas are integrated into one single application. All functionality that could be found in VADIS will be found in VIDA. However, in some particular areas, e.g., the diagnostic work flow, search functionality, and the Parts catalogue, VIDA contains considerable enhancements when compared to VADIS.

Volvo's VIDA (Vehicle Information & Diagnostics for Aftersales) system ties together service and repair data, parts data, service bulletins, software (firmware) downloads, fault tracing and on-board diagnostic as well as other related information to decrease service time.

Much of the diagnostic information provided here is presented in a manner that assumes the technician is using the web-based Volvo diagnostic system (VIDA) to diagnose the vehicle. Volvo does not provide any information based on performing diagnosis with a third party diagnostic tool aside from a conversion from P Codes to Volvo ECM Codes for some systems.
