I removed my ECM Without the special tool I pushed the Purple tabs back with a Screwdriver And when I installed my ECM I pushed the Purple tabs forward with a Screwdriver I hope this helps
Sesrching in the net and came to your channel. Recently my volvos60 modrl2001 is acting wierd when i shif gear from 2 to 3 its not accelerate as it should, thesame from 3 to 5 or vise versa. My mechanic told me that i should replace the transmission gearbox, i had no problem with the gear box before and read that if some water going to the ecm it would give problem with the transmission. They change timing belt last year and maybe they remove the cover not put it back properly. I hope thats the only problem not the gear box otherwisr its a deadend of my car. Thanks for the video.

How about making a video showing how to replace the new cable you provide when replacing the electronic throttle body on a P2. This is where it gets complicated. Removing the ECM and TCM is a simple process. Please show more.
With the long video I was expecting you to say which part of the removal tool goes to the left but you sleeve covered it. The tool has a bend on one side but don’t know which one goes to the left
2004 C70 2.3 5cyl turbo... She has new catconverter, new MAF sensor and new plugs. She stalls or goes to reduced performance intermittently, I pull to shoulder, turn off engine, wait a couple minutes, restart and she's good again. Sometimes it repeats in a few miles, other times it goes for the rest of a trip. No mechanic we've dealt with can figure her out, not even the "independent Volvo" specialists near me. Any suggestions?
Somehow this ECU come loose inside its own cover (box) while i was changing timing belt. The car wouldnt start, took a while before i found out the problem. Stupid placement, or locking clips :P

What about removing the ECM (or equivalent) from 2003 S40 Volvos? The local dealer is extremely predatory. What would it cost to send the unit for rebuilding? It chaps me something fierce to pay what he's asking to replace it. It is showing a problem I'm told is well known for this car - it has lost its high beams. It is incredible to pay ransom for replacing a relay.

@@XemodexInc hi xemodex inc i really need your help with my s 60... I was repairing the alternator and my ecu went bad... I got another ecu and tried to change the eeprom from the old one to the new one but still doesn't start... It can now start and die. What can be the solution.. I really need your help... My email is seruyangeelvis@gmail.com
I sure as hell would, there's never a drawback to unplugging the battery on a highly computerized car like the P2 Volvos, just wait a couple minutes there too (not sure if that's necessary but I would to be safe).
Yes you should! Here are the key points to remember: 1. Part number of the tool is V9995722 2. Wait approx. two minutes after the engine of the vehicle has been shut off before you remove the ECM. It allows the relay to be powered down. 3. If by chance the electric cooling fan is on when you shut off your vehicle, you have to wait until the fan shuts off and then wait another extra two minutes after the fan stops working, then it will be safe to remove that ECM. 4. DO NOT touch it with your hands. Static electricity can damage these units. 5. Anytime you replace an ECM or put new software into it, it’s a good idea to adapt the throttle body.
@@XemodexInc I have an IPD tune but so not recall doing the throttle body adaption. How is this performed? Also, will that tool remove the TCM as well? Appreciate your time.
Thanks for the video. Everything went well with the removal of the Ecm and putting it back together. I plugged in my battery positive cable first then negative. When I went to crank my car it acted like it wanted to start but never did. I received the immobilizer code in which I thought it could be the key so I retrieved my other key to start it and it still did not work. Any suggestions as to why my car is not starting now?

Hello, I was watching this informative video and have a couple of questions My 2005 S80 T-6 Turbo (not all wheel drive) has been experiencing tranny problems and I feel it is electronic and not the tranny itself. I'm not an expert. For a while it only had a problem with shifts at around 25 mph at which point I'd have to ride out the slips till around 30 and above and it completely disappeared. Drove it like that for perhaps a year. Then one day I come out of the breakfast cafe and with no warning it barely gets me home. 1st, 2nd gear no problem but 3rd / drive slips slides away really badly. First, I'm interested in your professional opinion what you think the odds are that this could be a TCM issue. Second, if you think it might be, if I send you my existing TCM module can you reprogram it or recommend someone who can OR Does it need to be replaced with another one like and then reprogrammed ? Thanks for you informative video and your opinion on this. I'll also drop you an email.

I wonder if "outside" data can be downloaded into these automotive modules, could be a novel way to smuggle intelligence data for national espionage across sensitive borders (like in East Germany lol). Sounds kind of scifi I know, but I bet there could be a need at some point
Great video. I used my flat head screw drivers to take it out. You showed me the concept of how to do it and that helped alot.

Hello Calvin, I'm having the exact same issue with a 2.0T S60 and I changed what you've changed still no luck. Did you figure it out by now? Thanks!
You have to go down in the yellow plastic hinge flat aat the bottom to hook this then move forward. That's one thing I did not understand

Thanks for the video, I have issues about my ECM and ECU, perhaps cleaning is the first thing to do.
You're welcome!
Can a malfunctioning ECM cause a P0072 code?
my volvo s80 d5 does not have this box where you are showing? where is the ECM on my model please?

I changed the tcm and won't start on a 03 v70 2.4 turbo
Great Company! But, it would have been super helpful if you would have said & shown how to pull without the special tool - which is possible, too : )
Thank you for your feedback! We will definitely incorporate this step in our future videos.
Where can you pick the tool up at so you can replace the ecm
