General instructions/safety instructions
The following points must be observed during vehicle diagnosis
- After the battery is connected, volatile memories must be reprogrammed. In the case of radio coding and tuning, the customer must be informed of decoding and the deleted tuner memory.
- After troubleshooting or repairs, erase the fault memory with the Porsche System Tester II No. 9588 and carry out a test drive.
- After the test drive, read out the fault memory again with the Porsche System Tester II No. 9588.
| WARNING | Danger of injury through triggering of driver's airbag Never hang the Porsche System Tester II No. 9588 over the steering wheel. |
| WARNING | Danger of injury and damage due to unusual vehicle handling when plugs or components are disconnected! Never disconnect plugs when the vehicle is in motion or drive the vehicle with plugs disconnected. Drive only with all parts fully installed and connected. |
| CAUTION | Danger of damage due to improper handling of batteries and control module plug connections! Never disconnect battery with engine running. Never start engine if battery terminal clamps are not connected securely. Never pull off or push on plug connections for the control modules or other electronic components when the ignition is switched on. Always disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and pull off all plug connections to the vehicle electrical system control module when carrying out welding work on the vehicle. |
Note. The instrument cluster described in this 'Technical Manual, Diagnosis' is a system that actually comprises two components since the instrument cluster includes a so-called gateway, which 'mirrors' the CAN messages from various CAN bus systems (CAN comfort, CAN drive, CAN Infotainment) onto the required CAN. It is, so to speak, a galvanically separated interface between the CAN bus systems.
Fault code setting conditions
Fault codes can be set in various circumstances, e.g.
- battery disconnected
- plug connections disconnected
- faulty coding
- power failure
- etc.
In these circumstances, no fault is present in the system and the fault memory must be erased.
Possible causes of fault
Note. The 'possible causes of fault' that are responsible for the fault are listed here. Please note that in certain circumstances further faults can be stored in the fault memory after troubleshooting (e.g. if plugs are disconnected). After carrying out repairs, read out the fault memory of all control modules and erase any faults.
Fault type
The following fault types are possible
- no display
- upper limit value exceeded
- lower limit value not reached
- mechanical fault
- no signal/communication
- no or incorrect basic setting/adaptation
- short circuit to B+
- short circuit to ground
- implausible signal
- open circuit/short circuit to ground
- open circuit/short circuit to B+
- open circuit
- electrical fault in electric circuit
- please read out fault memory
- faulty
- cannot be checked now
Fault status
The following status types are possible
- present
- not present
This information should be saved using the Save key [F4] and printed out.
Note. Visual inspection: During troubleshooting, please check first that the affected pins on the instrument cluster plug connection are neither damaged nor corroded. The wiring and plugs of the affected components must also be checked for external damage and correct contacts. Repair damaged or corroded pins if possible, otherwise replace affected pins. Repair or replace damaged wires.
Note. Battery voltage and signals: A battery voltage of between 11.4 and 14.5 V is required for troubleshooting. This must be checked and provided if necessary. Both signals and voltages to components or fuses (input side) must be guaranteed on the vehicle electrical system.
Note. Specified resistance values are based on an ambient temperature of 20°C.
Tools
| WARNING | Danger of injury while working with special tools Never hang the Porsche System Tester II No. 9588 over the steering wheel |
Note. Plug contacts are optimally designed to suit the plug system. Operations on pins can cause contact problems. Always use suitable measurement tools, adapter plugs and test cables.
Required special tools, test and measuring equipment, plus auxiliary equipment
