Abstract

A method is performed by a control device (100) of a first module (30, 40) of a vehicle (1), for electrically disconnecting the first module (30, 40) from a second module (30, 40) that is physically connected to the first module (30, 40), wherein the assembled vehicle (1) is configured to communicate with a control center (200). The method includes: identifying (s101) that the assembled vehicle (1) is ready to be disassembled; inactivating (s102) communication means (50) in the first module (30, 40) for establishing the electrical disconnection; and transmitting (s103) a verification of the electrical disconnection to the control center (200).
