    I connected VDASH to my 2019 Volvo XC40 and ran the VDDM "Initialization Check" function. The procedure completed successfully and reported "OK".

    Immediately afterwards, the parking brake behavior changed:

    The electronic parking brake can still be applied normally using the center console switch.
    The parking brake will NOT release using the center console switch.
    The parking brake CAN be released through VDASH ("Release parking brake" function).
    The vehicle drives normally once the brake is released through VDASH.
    No brake warnings are displayed on the dashboard.
    No ABS or BCM fault codes are present.

    The only relevant fault code that appeared is:

    VDDM-B111153
    "Electric park brake enable. System Programming Failures. Deactivated."

    Service mode was never activated. "Exit service mode" returns an error because service mode is not active. The issue started immediately after running the Initialization Check.

    Has anyone encountered this before or knows how to restore normal parking brake release operation after a VDDM initialization check?

    @Libelix So your car was tuned by RICA. What does their support say about your problem?
    Is there no DoIP communication with any software? OrBit, Vdash, Vtool? Or is it just Vdash?
    You seem to mix abbrevations. VCM is the Volvo on Call module and has nothing to do with acccesing the car via OBD. VGM is the stupid firewall behind the OBD port, that limits the access to car if you don't have the VGM pin. But even without the VGM pin you should be able to read codes and access some service functions with Vdash via DoIP/VOE adapter.

    I understand how scary it can be to have a car break down at night, but I strive to remain calm and prioritise safety. To make my car visible to other drivers, I try to relocate it to the side of the road and switch on my warning lights. If I feel unsafe, I stay in the car and lock my doors while I make an assistance call. I also share my location with a family member or acquaintance so that they know where I am. Another practice that has benefited me in an emergency is keeping my phone charged. I call a reputable Queens towing services when I need expert assistance since I know they can react at any time. In my opinion, remaining alert, patient, and waiting in a safe spot are the best things to do until rescue arrives.

    @Kurt1977 I think I'm getting old. 🤔

    The official guide recommends cloning the software and than perform SRS configure. As your original module has a checksum error indicating corrupted software or a bad EEprom , cloning won't work.
    You can try to just perform the SRS configure if you install a used module hoping the software is the same than in your original module or at least compatible with your car. If this doesn't work you will need an official VIDA subscription to perform a software reload, but this will only work if the software for the donor part is still present on the servers and if VIDA thinks the part number is somehow compatible with your car. Volvo has started to remove lots of softwares and part numbers for superseded/discontinued modules from their VIDA servers making software downloads impossible for those parts.

    You can also try to contact some specialists for ecu repairs and ask them if they can fix your original module.
