Cloning of Volvo VCM module
Cloning of data from a defective Volvo VCM module to a used unit following mechanical connector damage. The unit has been fitted with a new battery and reset for operation.
During battery replacement, mechanical damage occurred to the PCB connector for the VCM module backup battery. As the circuit board traces were irreparably damaged, data was transferred from the original processor to a used hardware unit with a matching part number.
Following programming, a new backup battery was installed and the diagnostic trouble codes were cleared. Testing via diagnostic equipment confirmed that the VCM module communicates correctly with the vehicle CAN bus and that fault codes related to voltage supply have been eliminated.
Please note: Because the unique IMEI number is stored in a separate processor that cannot be cloned, neither the Volvo app nor the car's internal internet connection will function after cloning. However, no error codes or warning messages will appear in the instrument cluster.
