Software Downloading
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2014 Volvo XC90, 2013 Volvo XC90, 2012 Volvo XC90, 2011 Volvo XC90, and 2010 Volvo XC90. 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 behaviour.
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.
