Software downloading
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2007 Volvo V70, 2006 Volvo V70, 2005 Volvo V70, 2004 Volvo V70, and 2003 Volvo V70. 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.
