Software Downloading
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2009 Volvo S60, 2008 Volvo S60, 2007 Volvo S60, 2006 Volvo S60, and 2005 Volvo S60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The control modules used as slave nodes on Volvo's LIN buses are supplied preconfigured and with that programmed for a specific behavior.
Volvo does not use software downloading via LIN. However a new configuration file for a LIN bus can be downloaded to the master node that controls communication on a LIN bus, on condition that the master mode is connected to the vehicle's CAN network.
Accordingly, new slave nodes can be added to an existing LIN bus.
