Programming an empty
control unit
When a new engine control unit is installed, where no
software has been downloaded, the control unit must
be programmed.
The new control unit must have the same part number
as the old control unit. If the control units do not have
the same part number, it will not be possible to pro-
gram the new control unit until a “Conversion kit” has
been ordered from Volvo Penta.
If the control units have the same part number, the
new control unit can be programmed as usual. Please
refer to “Programming a control unit”.
If the part numbers do not coincide – proceed as possible:
1.
Have both part numbers available.
2.
Log in to
Volvo Penta Network’s
web site:
www.vppn.com
3.
Choose “VODIA” in the left-hand menu.
4.
Choose “Conversion kit” in the left-hand menu. A
new page, “Conversion kit / Accessory kit”, opens
up.
5.
Click the text “
Available conversions kits
” which
is shown in bold face.
6.
A new window opens. Follow the instructions giv-
en in the window.
7.
Return to the “Conversion kit / Accessory kit”
page and follow the instructions to order a new
“conversion kit”.
8.
Volvo Penta’s database is now updated. It can
take about a minute before a confirmation is sent.
9.
Programing of the control unit can now start.
Please refer to “Programming a control unit”.
