It was discovered last week, that there
can be some times where the PHEV
T8 vehicles, will not be in the correct
state for programming. It can cause a
painful problem if the car is flashed
when the battery contactors are in the
"closed" state, the contactors could
get stuck and require Volvo service to
fix it. It has been a problem only for
the "pre 2020" T8 models and not a
common issue, but all hybrid vehicles
with high voltage battery could
potentially be affected.
This is what has happened to my car. What checks does Vdash do, this info is from the OrBit forum, they have identified the issue and made and upgrade to their software to stop this happening.
I have been to my local dealer and they are saying the will need to pull the HV battery pack out and possibly replace it.
It's clear this is a software issue.
Has anyone else come up with a fix, I know it will be limited, due the small range of vehicles affected.
I still stand by what I said that Vdash has caused the issue, as it was fine before plugged in to get the cem pin decoded.
