Volvo dealer reloaded the software and everything is working correctly now.
Great!
How much did he charge you for it?
They charge hourly rate at 130 euro, with minimum being 1 hour even though it only took 15 minutes, so I paid 130 euro.
Initially the dealer told me Volvo doesn’t allow reloading of software on used parts for safety critical components, and showed me a PDF supplied to the dealer by Volvo themselves with a list of which parts specifically, with steering wheel module being one of them. Most likely because the airbag wires passes through it. I’m guessing they probably don’t want the liability if they helped you code a faulty used component and then the airbag doesn’t set off if you get into an accident.
They said I had to buy a new one which was 620 euro for just the part alone, which will also need loading of software for additional 130 euro. I said that ain’t happening so just try to reload the software anyway, and even they were surprised when it worked no problem.
