Level Control - Diagnostics: Diagnosis Porsche Cayenne I

Troubleshooting procedure

Troubleshooting can only be performed when the fault is present. In other words, specific troubleshooting can only be performed in accordance with instructions (given under Diagnosis/troubleshooting for each fault code) if the entry has the status 'present' in the fault memory.

If the fault is currently 'not present', please check the following

  1. Diagnosis conditions are met; if necessary perform a short test or test drive
  2. All plug connections and ground points of the affected current path are OK.
  3. Set all wiring harnesses of the affected current path to a state that corresponds to driving by pulling and shaking them (loose contact).

Diagnostic conditions

Note. Important! Always connect a suitable battery charging device to the vehicle electrical system battery or to the designated jump-start terminal before starting diagnosis. All unnecessary loads must also be switched off.

Note. The fault can only be identified if the requirements listed under 'Diagnostic conditions' are met. For this reason, the specified procedure must be observed after a fault is repaired: Erase fault memory. Satisfy the requirements listed under 'Diagnostic conditions'. Read out fault memory again.

Diagnosis/troubleshooting

Note. The fault memory Info key [F8] on the 9588 Porsche System Tester II can be used to access the 'extended fault memory'. The following information can be displayed

  1. Ignition on for at least 6 minutes
  2. Internal control unit (level control) function test
