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.

Program a new combined instrument panel
This function must be used for a newcombined instrument panel when the combined instrument panel has been replaced.

Note! If the mileage has not been programmed into the new combined instrument panel previously for any reason, the mileage can be re-programmed using the option below. Only the option for programming the mileage is available. When changing other programmed settings, see VIDA vehicle communication.

Select one of the following functions:
1. Programming a new combined instrument panel
2. Programming the mileage only (when the combined instrument panel is otherwise fully programmed)
3. Cancel this procedure.

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

Information

Note! This combined instrument panel is already programmed. Only new control modules can be programmed using this procedure.

New control module
If a new combined instrument panel is to be programmed, the old one must be replaced with the new supplied combined instrument panel. Then try again.

Modify certain settings or add the trip computer function
If the certain settings are to be modified or the trip computer function is to be added, the relevant software package must be ordered and used.
Certain settings can be modified using VIDA vehicle communication.

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

Information about programming the combined instrument panel
A newcombined instrument panel must be programmed with all the values that were programmed into the old instrument panel.

Note! Before programming is carried out, the unit for temperature display / trip computer must be installed and connected.

The following can be programmed:
- Total mileage (km or miles)
- Distance to service (km or miles)
- Engine hours to service
- Time remaining until service
- Tire size
- Calculation type for the fuel level in the fuel tank
- Time display
- Initial zeros
- Speed warning
- Flashing speed warning in the trip computer display
- High temperature warning indication diesel/Melco Economy
- Calibration of the fuel consumption function in the trip computer
- The fuel level at which the fuel level warning lamp should be lit
- The type of fuel level sensor
- The type of engine management system for the engine coolant temperature display
- The speedometer display
- Updating the combined instrument panel settings for diesel engine D4192T2 model year 2000
- Display for outside temperature / trip computer function
- Unit for outside temperature display
- Trip computer function.

The following alternatives are available:
1. Programming display and function for outside temperature / trip computer
2. Programming other settings
3. Reading off the programmed values.

Caution! Always carry out alternatives 1 and 2 as above to ensure that all settings have been correctly programmed.

2 - Selecting the instrument type

3 - Reading off data

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

Reading off data





Reading off the programmed values

Information about reading off parameters
Before the control module is replaced it is vital that the programming is read off the old combined instrument panel.
Read off the programmed values in the old control module. Note the values.
If it is not possible to read off the values, consult the either the manager, the sales company or the customer so that the new control module is programmed with the same values as the old control module.
Reading off is divided into two sections; one section for the parameters that can be programmed and one section for the parameters that are factory programmed or programmed by the manufacturer.

Select one of the following functions:
1. Read off the customer programmed values, instruments only calibrated in kilometers
2. Read off the customer programmed values, instruments calibrated in both miles and kilometers
3. Read off the factory programmed values
4. Finish reading off.
