Is there a way to make the heat...stronger? Or heat faster?
I know there is an option for seat heating calibration but couldn't see one for the steering wheel

no, but you might have a faulty one because mine heats up pretty fast.

Well, every car is designed different you cannot expect the same functions. All it has pros and cons.
I replaced my heated s60 momentum seats with the s90 inscription heated, ventilated and massage seats. My OEM seat heat calibration setting was 2. I noticed, my original s60 seats were heating up much warmer compared to replaced s90 ones. I increased the heat calibration to 8 and now I almost get the same temp as it used to be. Not sure if the same setting applies to steering wheel though.

I'll try to increase it as well. Maybe it has an effect to the steering wheel as well
Thanks for the info

Hi,
I have also replaced the SWM with clock spring, from a used car, due to a fault causing the steering wheel heater to short to power or ground. The front wheels/steering wheel was dead center on my car before disassembly, and the used SWM with clock spring came already physically centered, but I still followed procedure according to Power6 just to make sure. After installation, the steering wheel heater and all other functions are working correctly as they should. But I have ESC light on, and the following DTC: Code: BCM-U2133582 - 2025/02/06 I already tried to reset steering angle compensation, but it doesn't help. Is it supposed to immedaitely clear it, or is there a following procedure that must be done after resetting? I also tried executing the other SAS reset routine in the drop-down list, but the car went absolutely bonkers. If i uncheck the box for "confirmed codes", these are the DTC's that show up: Code: BCM-U2133582 - 2025/02/06 Any suggestions please?

According to what your saying, there are two possibilities here.
1) They sold you a fault one. 2) The software in the replaced SWM is not the same as your original and causes mismatch with the rest of the ECUs. What you should do, compare the SWM software part numbers of the original to the replacement. From the Orbit go to ECU tools, and request full SW part numbers of the SWM. Yes, you might need to put the original back. If the software part numbers match, it's obvious that you have been scammed with a faulty one.

They could, but first you need to make sure the part you got is actually good. Otherwise you will be wasting your time at the dealer and your money unless you have a good friend works there :-)
Remember to revert the all the Orbit config to OEM before visiting or connecting the Car to VIDA. Otherwise VOLVO will block your car for the software reloads. |
