⚙️ Key Features

  • PCU control unit
  • Software ordered separately or downloaded with Vodia
  • 0.826 kg
  • 58 applications

🔌 Function

Runs the engine and installation control functions, reading the sensors and driving the actuators according to the software loaded into it.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Engine will not start or shuts down without warning
  • Instruments and warning lamps behaving erratically or all dropping out together
  • Repeated communication faults on the control network
  • No response from the unit at all after a supply fault or water ingress
  • Corrosion or moisture tracking in the connectors

🛠️ Service Notes

  • Budget for the software as a separate step, because the unit needs its programme loaded with Vodia before the engine will run
  • Rule out supply, ground and network wiring before condemning the unit, as those faults mimic a dead control unit
  • Record the existing settings and parameters if the old unit still communicates, and note the engine identity for the software order

📦 Condition

  • Genuine Volvo Penta part
  • Brand new
  • Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
