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 car and Volvo central database is not OK, the database is updated with the car configuration. When this is complete the software and any security access code is downloaded.
For further information regarding downloading, see Design and Function, Downloading Software.
