The reason I had the impression that there was no VVT adjustment is because there are no specific VVT alignment procedures in VIDA 2014D. However after reading the VVT install procedures, there is a VVT/Camshaft alignment procedure. It is implied in the VVT install procedures not explicitly stated. ...

I believe the kicker is obtaining a copy of the program. Illegal pirated copies frequently don't load well. Only a few who've torn their hair out have posted their woes. I'd bet the majority of those who've been stung keep it to themselves. Read this. There is over 14,000 people who have done it, l...

5V is the feed voltage, the voltage is supplied by the E ngine C ontrol M odule (ECM). The same voltage source supplies the throttle position sensor. If you want to do this by voltage, you should be looking at the voltage drop across the sensor. Leave the sensor disconnected, see if the symptoms cha...

Found some pictures of of the Fan control module (30864189). The original transistor is a MJ802 which is a 30 amp 200W transistor, twice the current rating of the 2N3055 which is 15 Amps 115W. That most certainly could explain the frequent failures. Whomever did the write up you placed your faith in...

only I have no idea where does that wire loom end in order to be able to remove it from the donor car The engine and transmission is all one big harness, it terminates at the ECM & TCM. A new one would knock him back ~$900.00. https://volvoem.com/images/img/b557a62f6958cfb89278bfc3f12bc1a2.png

Yep! A lot of things about Volvo engineering reminds me of the older Chrysler engineering.
The Dodge brothers claim to fame was superior engines.

Did you check the coil on the relay? The relay won't switch if the coil is open.

but the only way I get vida to work is on a virtual machine within win10.

You can get it run directly in Windows 10, no VM required, better then on Window 7, read through this thread.

It is a spare, they both AW50-42 transmissions.
