VIDA won't communicate with the new ABS Module

Hi All,

I was having a trouble code for my abs in my 2005xc90 2.5t. I ordered a module on eBay. Put it in. Code gone. However, I can't do any of the calibrations through VIDA. It won't communicate with the new module. Took it to the local volvo dealership to do a software reload. They said the module wouldn't take the new software. The module is from a 2004. Any ideas here? I figured volvo could match this module with my vehicle. Guess not???

Many (if not all) parts are vin specific. The code is gone because the rest of the system can't talk to it either

. Sounds like you just have the wrong part.

Post the part number of the new module.

Modules from 2004 and 2005 MY look similar but have different part numbers.
The difference is in the software. The CAN bus speed are different so module from 2004 cannot be seen on the 2005 car and vice verse.
