Programming an empty control unit

When an ”empty” engine control unit is installed, where no software is programmed, the control unit must be programmed. If the new control unit is to replace an existing control unit, the control units must have the same part number. If the control units do not have the same part number, it will not be possible to program the new control unit until a ”Conversion kit” has been ordered from Volvo Penta. If the control units have the same part number, the new control unit can be programmed as usual, please refer to Programming the Control Unit. If the part numbers are not the same, do as follows:
