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.

- 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 VCT 2000 and the vehicle has failed for one of the following reasons:
- The battery voltage is 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 try to establish communication again?
Yes - Verification of communication with the 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.

Information about programming remote controls
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 ignition key. 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 control module has functions that allow remote controls to be added and removed.
The Add functionis used when the customer has ordered an additional remote control.
Each remote control must be programmed into the control module memory before it can be used to lock or unlock the car. The control module can store up to three remote controls.
The Remove Functionis used when the customer wants to disable one or more remote controls so that they cannot be used on the car's lock and alarm system. These remote controls may have been stolen and may be traced back to the car.
During programming, when the control module receives a remote code from one of the remaining remote controls, allprevious remote codes are erased from the control module. Only the code from the last used remote control is stored.
The remaining remote controls must therefore be programmedinto the control module again.
It is important therefore that the customer takes all the remote controls to the dealer
Note! If, during the Remove sequence, the control module does not receive any remote code, all codes for the old remote controls remain in the control module memory.
Select one of the following functions
1. Add remote control
2. Removing remote controls
3. Exit without programming.

Note! The control module memory for remote controls is now full.
- Ignition on.
All three positions for remote controls have been used in the control module memory. No remote controls can be added to the control module memory if there are no free positions.
Use the Remove remote control function to remove a remote control. All remote controls will then be erased from the control module memory. If this is the case, it is vitalthat the customer takes all the remote controls to the dealer. The remote controls can then be programmed into the control module again.
Click on the VCT2000 symbol to read off the number of remote controls stored in the control module memory.
No more remote controls can be added if all three remote control positions are occupied.
