Control Unit Programming

CONTROL UNIT PROGRAMMING

Four sub-menus are offered with this menu item:

1. Read out control unit (vehicle data)

- The menu item "Read out control unit can be used to read out data from the old control module, e.g. engine number, M numbers etc., in order to adopt the data in a new control module.


NOTE: Only one control module at a time can be read out in order to then adopt the data in a new control module during control module programming.


NOTE: The DME programming code and immobilizer code are required to program control modules. These codes can be obtained from the Porsche IPAS system. All electrical consumers must be switched off for programming control modules. Switch heater to OFF. The vehicle battery must be fully charged.


2. Program control unit (new control unit)

- Enter vehicle identification number and confirm.
- Enter and confirm new programming code.


NOTE: The new programming code must match the DME programming code from the IPAS, otherwise the control module can no longer be programmed later.


- Enter and confirm new immobilizer code.


NOTE: The new immobilizer code must match the immobilizer code from the IPAS, otherwise the control module can no longer be programmed later.


- Select data record.
- When programming is complete, switch off the ignition.
- Switch on the ignition.
- Switch off the tester.


NOTE: In Tiptronic vehicles, the fault memory of the Tiptronic must be erased following the programming of a DME control module, as the fault "CAN timeout" is entered in the memory during programming.


3. Program map/data

- The data record can be changed, e.g. from RoW to OBD II, with this menu item. Only the DME programming code is required.

4. Program immobilizer code

- The immobilizer code is transferred to a new DME control module with this menu item.
