Coding the display and operator control unit (PCM2)
Note. When installing a new PCM/CDR in a vehicle, the PCM/CDR code specified in IPAS should be present. Normally, the code is stored in the instrument cluster, and is read out from the PCM/CDR.
- You can get the codes from IPAS or from your importer by specifying the vehicle identification number.
- During coding, there should be a guaranteed power supply for the «PIWIS tester P 9718»(ref-274641-S31799627732007121900000) . It is essential to connect a battery charger with a current rating of at least 40 A to the vehicle battery.
- The «PIWIS tester P 9718»(ref-274641-S31799627732007121900000) instructions take precedence and in the event of a discrepancy these are the instructions that must be followed. Deviations may occur with later software versions.
- The procedure described here has been structured in general terms; different text or additions may appear in the «PIWIS tester P 9718»(ref-274641-S31799627732007121900000) .
Note. The installed components that are detected are displayed in the MOST actual installed components list.
- Compare the installed components detected from the MOST actual installed components list with the MOST required installed components list.

26. Use << to quit the menu PCM .
27. Read out fault memory and erase if required.
28. PCM is now taught.
29. If the PCM/vehicle equipment does not have a DVD navigation unit, then adjust the time/date using the SET button on the PCM and in the menu PCM system .
30. For vehicle equipment with DVD navigation unit, switch on the PCM in clear surroundings (to load GPS almanac); as soon as four satellites are identified the almanac will reload. The time is updated again when there is a plausible GPS reception (four satellites). The date and time are also adopted once the GPS almanac has been loaded; it may be necessary to change over to summer time (daylight-saving time). This time is transferred to the instrument cluster. If the time is then manually changed by means of the instrument cluster, this time is adopted by the PCM and synchronized with GPS time.
31. For vehicle equipment with telephone, the telephone is enabled again when the telephone PIN code is entered with the SIM telephone card inserted.
