Maintenance: Diagnosis Porsche Boxster 986 рестайлинг

TESTING CONDITIONS

1. The transmission must not be in the reduced driving program.
2. The ATF temperature must be between 30°C and 45°C. An ATC inspection at an insufficient ATF temperature causes over-filling and an inspection at an excessive ATF temperature causes insufficient filling.
3. Selector lever in position "P" and engine idling.
4. The air-conditioning system and the heater must be switched off.
5. The vehicle must stand horizontally.

Scheme 5

1. Attach the filled ATF container (special tool filling system V.A.G 1924) as high up on the vehicle as possible.
2. Place oil collection pan under the transmission.
3. Connect the Porsche System Tester 2 and call up the ATF temperature. NOTE: The ATF temperature must not be higher than 40°C at the start of the test.
4. Move selector lever to position "P" and allow engine to idle. WARNING: Warning! Danger of injury from emerging ATF fluid! ATF fluid can cause burns and chemical bums to the eyes! Wear protective goggles
5. Unscrew filler screw -2-.. (Scheme 5) If ATF escapes from the filler screw hole and if the ATF temperature is 30°C to 40°C, the ATF level is in order.
6. If no ATF escapes from the control bore even though approx. 40°C has been reached, the ATF must be topped up. To do this, top ATF up with special tool filler system V.A.G 1924 until ATF escapes at the bore of the filler screw. NOTE: The filler hook must be carefully inserted into one of the openings of the A TF guard cap -4- positioned on the filler hole. (Scheme 5) When doing so, do not push the filler hook upwards as the oil guard cap can spring off upwards. The filler screw must be closed no later than when an ATF temperature of 45°C is reached.
7. Screw in ATF filler screw with a new sealing ring Tightening torque: 80 Nm (59 ft.lb) Tightening torques

TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION

STEERING GEAR: VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE BELLOWS

Note. The bellows on the steering gear can be damaged by outside influences H>r example, by stone damage or during assembly work! The steering gear can become leaky due to dirt or moisture entering a leaky bellows!

1. Visually inspect the bellows for damage.

DRIVE SHAFTS: VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE BOOTS

1. Perform a visual inspection of the boots for leaks and damage.

BRAKE SYSTEM: VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE BRAKE PADS AND BRAKE DISCS FOR WEAR

1. The brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad warning indicator lights up, but no later than when there is a residual pad thickness of 2 mm!

Note. If brake pad wear is indicated by the warning light, the warning contact (sender including wire and plug connection) must also be replaced! Replacing the warning contact can be avoided by replacing the brake pads no later than when the pad thickness is 2.5 mm! Warning contacts must be replaced if the core of the wire is worn! However, if only the plastic part of the warning contact is worn, there is no need to replace it!

1. To check the brake pads, remove the wheels.
2. Visually inspect the brake pads for wear (wear limit 2 mm).
3. Carry out visual inspection of the brake discs for wear.

FUNCTION TEST, CHECKING DOOR LOCK

1. Check that the door lock engages in two stages through the locking wedge when the doors are closed and that it disengages again when the door handle is operated (inside and outside).

TANK CAP LOCK FUNCTION TEST

1. Lock vehicle.
2. Check whether the tank cap lock engages the tank cap in the closed position.

FUNCTIONAL INSPECTION

1. It must be possible to unroll the belt strap smoothly from the belt retractor via the deflector fitting by pulling evenly, and the tongue of the seat belt must engage audibly in the buckle.
2. An abrupt pull on the belt strap must lock the belt retractor.

CONDITION INSPECTION

1. The belt strap must undergo a visual inspection for damage.
2. If it displays evidence of damage in the form of cuts, fraying, seam tears etc., the seat belt must be replaced.

1. Function test of airbag warning light. Switch on ignition to carry out this test. The airbag warning light must light up for approx. 3 seconds. If the warning light does not light up, check the bulb and power supply.
2. Function test of the airbag system: Connect and switch on the Porsche System Tester. Switch ignition on. Establish communication with the Airbag/POSIP control module. Read out fault memory: No fault stored. Remove E1 fuse. Fault present after approx. 30 seconds >> Airbag warning light <<. Insert E1 fuse again. Clear fault memory. Read out fault memory again after approx. 30 seconds: No fault stored.
3. Check that a trim or stickers are not attached to the airbag units (driver's, passenger's, side airbag).
4. Visual inspection of the components for damage and deformation.
5. The system check must be acknowledged in the stamp spaces provided in the Guarantee and Maintenance booklet.
