Arrow PPM WARNING pedestrian service RESET V40 T3 1.6

HELP HELP HELP Please like to get some advise in resetting that bug in pedestrian protection service needed <<service message>> (i)1



Hi,
just got my 'new' V40 (okt 2012) T3 1.6 engine momentum only 16.000km with many options to make it's driving safer & more fun.
Great car/great looks and drives very confortable on the highways in northern Holland .
Facts/history:
As it's car-history is all known/clear to me when I bought it I knew it has been involved in a car accident(left front section)and was proffesional repaired (seen all those photo's and documents)
The driver's-, passenger- and knee- airbag has been'exploded' and seatbelts and these airbags were correctly replaced by new one's.(dealer)
Airbagmodule ECU/crashdata has been correctly resetted by volvodealer .
Problem: warning <pedestrian protection service> (i)1
All light/warningsignals /messages are out (red airbag-indication-lamp too(So is off) ,......all okay... BESIDES the ' pedestrian protection service > Only 1 service message comes up ever time when ik start the engine <(keyless drive)
Dealer did try several times to reset but told me he could not make any conection to it's module to rewrite/reload the PPM module.
There was any communication with the car because I noticed day-runninglight went off and came on serveral times.
All bumper front inner-sensors where replaced (ca €800,-costs and also replaced including the cable for those 7 sensors addional charching €50 software reload!)
Did see that after running diagnose test for PMM etc the 7 sensors went from status orange into green after 25 minutes running test diagnose(so i think they were detected and tested) but the PPM module stayed orange.
Did posted/send copy of sceen reports .
Hope somebody can give me an advise how to check or someone can send a scheme/diagram of the cable work to ECU-PMM module to test cablework or something helpfull tips are very welcome,
I do know that the pedestrian airbag did not went off during that accident and cable works is located on the right side direct into the compartment.(accident was left front section)
Dealer wants now to replace PPM module so ad extra € 460 costs without talking about the reload costs....! Getting a bit worried now ..... Why replacing something which is not damaged.....? ECU running check was okay status so must be more in softwarebug or cable connection or ...or...
Thanks for your advise/support

Have a nice weekend

Michael

PS Hope I'll not 'score' any pedestrians in the meantime....In the old days the pedestrians had to look out before crossing..........:thumbs_up:

Have they tried a reload on the original PPM fitted to the car already

Does the car have the latest service promise software loaded into it as there have been quiet alot of updates to the earlier models
