I have just posted, Saturday night, May 27th, at the following. The subjects are:
New ETM Software released March 2006

There are excerpts from the Service Manager Bulletins that talk about what the software does. I have interspersed some editorial comments.
ETM problem after software update

If you have had the sioftware updated after March 2006 and you now have or still have problems, NHTSA want to know.
How to get copies of the ETM factory documents
http://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/ch...opic.php?t=7367
If you are interested in the very detailed trouble shooting document that tells how the ETM works and interfaces with other documents, this is the place to go.
Now for the rest of the world.
Service Campaign, as detailed in SMB 25-155 Electronic Throttle System Software Upgrade, makes no mention that it is for North America only. However, SMB 25-149 Electronic Throttle Module (ETM) Extended Warranty specifically says, ‘Volvo Cars of North America --- has voluntarily decided to extend the warranty period ---
So it looks like everyone will get the software upgrade but not the extended warranty.
I now have well over 400 Vexed correspondents in 22 countries and six continents (Antarctica where are you?).
