## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Genuine programmable Volvo Penta electronic-control unit
-   Designed for CPM and EVC network integration
-   Supplied with the corresponding connection-accessory package
-   Requires correct software, parameterisation and VODIA commissioning
-   Configuration number and vessel installation are more important than engine horsepower
-   Engine type: Volvo Penta electronic vessel-control and propulsion-management system

## 📋 Kit Contents

-   1 x programmable electronic control unit - supplied under kit 23721253
-   1 x CPM connection-accessory package - internal connector and mounting part numbers are not separately published in the public kit listing
-   Software, vessel parameters and commissioning are installation-specific and must be completed with authorised Volvo Penta diagnostic equipment

## 🔌 Function

Processes and distributes control, status and network information within the CPM / EVC architecture. Correct software and installation parameters are required before the connected propulsion functions can operate normally.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   No communication with the EVC or engine-control network
-   Intermittent CAN-bus, power-supply or module fault codes
-   Engine, station or propulsion function remains unavailable
-   Corrosion, water entry, damaged connectors or overheated circuitry
-   Replacement module cannot be commissioned because software or configuration does not match

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Volvo Penta identifies this as the CPM unit for the EVC 2.0 generation — control units from different EVC generations can look alike but are not interchangeable, so establish which generation the installation runs before ordering.
-   It supersedes an earlier electronic unit number, so an installation whose records quote the older part is covered by this kit.
-   A replacement unit has to be configured to the vessel with Volvo Penta's diagnostic system before the installation will run correctly — treat this as dealer work at commissioning rather than a plug-in swap.
-   Before condemning the old unit, check the battery connections, the earth points and the multipin connectors; corroded pins and a poor earth produce intermittent faults that read exactly like a failed control unit.
-   Isolate the batteries before disconnecting anything, and keep the unit and its connectors dry and clean during the change.
