Default XC90 Throttle Body replacement

Does it require reprogramming after replacement ? I got conflicting information from sellers, some say yes, some say no.

Thanks.

The Bosch throttle bodies used after 2002 do not need "reprogramming" as in a software download using VIDA like the 99-01(04 for c70) throttles did. There is a adaptation or initialization process - but they are plug and play and will work just fine after simply bolting it on. I've installed a couple. (that may not have been needed due to later discovered wiring problems, and lost a customer for the first replacement. The next one I tried a used part and had the same problems. Reinstalled the original and then found the real problem) There is replacement wiring available from Volvo - it was discovered that it was not the throttle housing but the connections on the wiring going to it that caused throttle problems.

Why are you replacing yours?

@hoonk Thanks for the suggestion. My Volvo got a P2111 (Throttle Actuator Control System Stuck Open) code a few months back, I took it out and clean it. But yesterday, it kind of stalled in the highway, this time it gives the following code P2135(Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor Switch A/B Voltage Correlation), P2111, P0638 (Throttle Actuator Control Range Bank 1), P0507 (Idle Air Control System RPM Higher than expected). I thought may be replacing it may have a better result.

I have swapped the throttle body in my 2011 xc90 3.2 with a used one from the auto parts store. The original TB plate was stuck and the suv was in reduce engine performance mode. The obd2 code was P061F. I did not disconnected the battery while swapping the TB (my mistake). I was getting the same limp mode issue after swapping. Then I disconnected the both the battery terminals for one hour. Then I connected the battery, put key in ignition 2 for 30 sec and started the suv and idled for three minutes. It fixed the issue. I did not have to do any re-programming.
