# 3802230 Control Unit Exch | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta remanufactured control unit from the Ignition and Control Systems group, weighing 2.07 kg and listed for 31 applications across the D and HPCU families. That is, which makes the part number rather than the application list the thing to check against the engine. This unit is supplied on an exchange basis: core deposit 3805230 is charged alongside it and refunded once the old unit is returned, so both numbers appear on the order.

## 🚤 Compatibility

-   **Engine Family:** D, HPCU

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   2.07 kg
-   31 applications across the D and HPCU families
-   Remanufactured exchange unit

## 🔌 Function

Reads the system's sensors and drives its actuators, holding the engine or drive to the control strategy programmed into it.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Engine or system refusing to start, or shutting down without warning
-   Intermittent running that comes and goes with heat or vibration
-   Instruments and warning lamps behaving erratically
-   No-response or communication faults when a diagnostic tool is connected
-   Water staining or corrosion around the connector when it is unplugged

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   An exchange control unit normally has to be programmed to the engine or vessel before it will run, so allow for that in the job
-   Check the supply, the earth and the connector pins first, since a chafed harness will take out the replacement as well
-   Core deposit 3805230 is charged with this unit and refunded when the old one is returned - order both together
