Immobilizer Control Module, New, Initiating: Conditions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This function is used when a defective control module has been replaced.

The key codes for all keys should be programmed into the control module. The control module memory can store key codes for six keys.

NOTE:

None of the old keys can be used. Only the new keys should be used

NOTE:

When a new immobilizer control module has been initiated the control module has been programmed with the car's unique PIN code. The immobilizer control module cannot then be moved to another car.

The car's unique PIN must be known in order to program the key codes. The PIN of the faulty control module MUST be entered into the new control module. The PIN is obtained from Volvo's central car register. Use the same procedure used to order a mechanical key.
