Connecting VCT2000





Connecting the Volvo Communication Tool 2000 (VCT 2000)

Connecting the Volvo Communication Tool 2000 (VCT 2000)
The VCT 2000 must be connected to both the VIDA PC and the data link connector (DLC) in the car to communicate with the control modules in the car.
For information about connection, see Connecting VCT2000 Connecting VCT2000.

- Ignition on.

Warning! The battery must supply sufficient voltage throughout the transfer.A battery charger should therefore be connected to the vehicle throughout the transfer process.

Warning! Leave VCT 2000 connected to the vehicle until VIDA displays that the program transfer is complete.

If the transfer is interrupted (this may occur if the connection between VCT 2000 and the vehicle is broken or if the battery discharges), the status of the control module may be indefinable. It is normally sufficient to switch the ignition on and off and to then try programming again to return to normal function.
In some cases it may be necessary to disconnect the control module and then switch of the ignition to return to normal function.

Caution! It is important that correct chassis number is supplied when ordering software. If an incorrect chassis number is supplied, the software may contain incorrect PIN codes. This will mean that the control module cannot be programmed.If programming fails, even though the correct software has been ordered, there may be an incorrect PIN code stored in VITaL.

------------------------

Communication fault
The communication between VCT2000 and the vehicle has failed for one of the following reasons:
- Battery voltage too low
- The control module does not respond
- The ignition is off.
Ensure that:
Battery voltage exceeds 12 V.
The ignition is on.

Do you want to attempt to establish communication again?

Yes - Verification of communication with the immobilizer control module

No - No Fault Found

Communication fault




Communication failure
Communication between VIDA PC and VCT 2000 has failed for one of the following reasons:
- Ignition is OFF.
- The VST/VCT 2000 switch is not in position VCT 2000.
- VCT 2000 is not connected to the diagnostic connector.
- VCT 2000 is not connected to VIDA PC/selector switch.
- Communication problem in VIDA application and/or vehicle.
- Too low battery voltage.

Ensure that:
- Ignition is ON and selector switch is in position VCT 2000.
- VCT 2000 is properly connected to diagnostic connector inside vehicle and VIDA PC/selector switch.
- VCT 2000 and associated cables are functional.
- Battery voltage exceeds 12 V.

Model year 2003-: For cars with an integrated ignition key / remote control
The head of the integrated ignition key / remote control ( see illustration) contains functions for both the immobilizer and the remote control. This means that for a new unprogrammedignition key / remote control both the immobilizer control module and VGLA control module must be programmed with the functions for the immobilizer and remote control. After this procedure, order the software package to program the remote control. However the immobilizer control module is still limited to storing a maximum of six keys. The VGLA control module is restricted to three remote controls.
The IMMO 3 control module has functions that allow keys to be added and erased.
The Add functionis used when the customer has ordered additional keys. The key code for each key must be programmed into the control module memory before the key can be used to start the car. The control module has key codes for 6 keys.
The Remove Functionis used when the customer wants to disable one or more keys so that they cannot be used to start the car. These keys may have been stolen and may be traced back to the car. All programmed keys are erased from the control module memory. The remaining keys must be programmed into the control module again. It is important therefore that the customer takes all the remote controls to the dealer

Select one of the following functions
1. Add key
2. Remove key
3. Exit without programming.










1 - Add key

2 - Remove / add new keys, reading off the key status

3 - DONE

-------------------------------------------------

Add key




- Ignition on.
Click the VCT2000 symbol to read off the current key status.
No more keys can be programmed if all 6 positions are occupied.









Continue programming a new key?

Yes - Program a new key

No - Information

-------------------------------------------------

Program a new key

Caution! No other ignition key must be hanging with the key to be programmed when programming due to the risk of communication interference with the key.




- Insert the key to be programmed into the ignition switch
- Ignition on.
Click on the VCT2000 symbol to program a key.

Note! This process may take a while. Wait!

-------------------------------------------------

Information

Note! The immobilizer is locked. An incorrect PIN code has been used too many times.

The correct PIN code is automatically controlled from the Volvo central database. If this message is still displayed, the control module will not approve the key. This indicates that the control module has probably been replaced before and an incorrect PIN code has been programmed into its memory. The control module PIN will be unknown and programming cannot be carried out.
Replace the control module including the keys if the customer requires an additional key or wants a key to be disabled (removed). Then initialize the control module according to the information in VIDA vehicle communication.

Continue - DONE

-------------------------------------------------

Information

Note! The control module memory for immobilizer keys is now full.




- Ignition on.
All six positions for key codes have been used in the control module memory. No more keys can be programmed if the number of free positions is zero.
Use the Remove keys function. All keys will then be erased from the control module memory. If this is the case, it is vitalthat the customer takes all the keys to the dealer. The keys can then be programmed into the control module again.
Click on the VCT2000 symbol to read off the number of keys stored in the control module memory.
No more keys can be added if all six key positions are occupied.

Information

Note! This key cannot be programmed for this car. It is already programmed for another car.

The secret code from another immobilizer system is already programmed into this key. It may be a key from another car, or an old key for this car (which has had the immobilizer replaced).
Use another key.

- Ignition on.
Possible fault cause:
- the key being programmed has an incorrect transmitter
- fault in the antenna circuit. If this is the case diagnostic trouble code (DTC) IMM-233 will probably be stored.
Fault-trace according to the fault-tracing instructions. Then try to program the same key again.
Click the VCT2000 symbol to read diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Check if diagnostic trouble code (DTC) IMM-233 is still stored.
The transmitter in the key is faulty if the fault message is displayed again when programming the same key and diagnostic trouble code (DTC) IMM-233 is not stored. Use another of the keys supplied with the immobilizer control module. Then order a spare key as a replacement for the faulty key.
Replace the key or check the antenna ring.
