Failing VCM?

[Bacchus258]

I just had an issue with the City Safe errors and then I could not connect using any software or scanner. I found the original 2016 VCM in a pool of water and after removing it and dumping out the water there was one pin that had rusted off. I had to buy the new VCM, new bracket that relocated it to where the existing TCM module is, the adapter wire harness, a three day VIDA subscription, and the two Volvo software updates to remove the TCM and update the new VCM. Now everything is working as it should and all scanners including Orbit connect fine.

Is this on an XC90? Maybe I'm looking at the wrong module. What I thought was the VCM is up in the passenger's side rear pillar.

I have a 2016 XC90 T6, and it had the original 3G VCM located in the passenger-side trunk under the fuse block and a TCM behind the passenger-side third-row side panel. The new VCM is 4G and mounts in the location of the old TCM. The first photo (Note! Orientation view) is the location of the old TCM and where the new VCM (4G model) is mounted. The other photo is where the old VCM (3G model) mounts to the right of the spare tire, under the fuse block. Maybe yours already has the 4G unit in it.
