Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Note on adaption
The DME control module must perform a learning and adaptation routine for the throttle valve adjuster if:
- the power supply to the DME control module was interrupted,
- the DME control module connectors were unplugged,
- a new DME control module was installed,
- the throttle valve adjuster was replaced,
- the DME was programmed.
To initiate adaption:
- Switch on the ignition without starting the engine
- Perform a "throttle adaptation" under the "System adaptation" column using the 9588 Porsche System Tester II.
The following conditions must be met, otherwise adaptation is not possible:
- Do not press the accelerator (make sure there is no carpet pressing on the accelerator, for example)
- Stationary vehicle
- Battery positive voltage between 10 V and 16 V
- Engine temperature between 5°C and 100°C
- Intake air temperature > 10°C
