Programming Tiptronic control module

Reading out from and writing in to the Tiptronic control unit (also referred to
generally as control unit below)

WARNING

Sudden voltage interruption of the power supply to the control module.

Destruction of the control module.

• 

→ During programming, it is essential to guarantee the power supply for the Porsche System tester. It is

essential to connect a battery charger with a current rating of at least 40 A to the vehicle battery.

→ Prior to disconnecting the control module, switch off the ignition and remove the ignition key.

Note

The PIWIS tester 9718 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 9718.

1. Connect the Porsche System Tester to the vehicle and start the System Tester. Switch on ignition. >>

Continue.

9. Switch on ignition. Switch to the Special functions menu and perform the vehicle handover using the F8

key.

10. In the Special functions menu, erase All fault memories by pressing >> .

In the menu Write in data >> the data read-out are installed.

11. System Tester displays Coding write-in complete

>> .

12. If the control module has been installed in another vehicle it will be necessary, as of tester software

8.0, to Reset adaption values:

12.1. In the menu Tiptronic, select the menu Reset adaption values and continue with >> .

12.2. Confirm with F7 for Yes, F8 for No and continue with >> .

Note

The procedure described must be applied when a control unit has to be replaced and the tester function
Control unit replacement

 cannot be used.

Note

When the transmission is renewed/replaced, the adaptation values must be reset using the PIWIS
tester 9718. It is expected that this function will not be implemented until tester software V8.0 is
available:

In the Tiptronic control module, select menu item Reset adaptation values and continue with >> .

• 

Confirm with F7 for Yes, F8 for No and continue with >> .

• 

Follow the instructions on the Tester.

• 

If a new control unit is installed, it must adapt first. Poor shifting quality can therefore be expected in
the adaptation phase.

• 

After the test drive, let the engine run for 10 minutes at idle speed. This ensures that all adaptation
values are stored in the control unit.

• 

The instructions of the Porsche System Tester have highest priority.

The procedure listed has been structured generally; changes or additions may occur.

WARNUNG

Gefahr des Verlusts der Text-Bild-Zuordnung beim Ausdruck.

Aus technischen Gründen kann derzeit nicht ausgeschlossen werden, dass trotz
einwandfreier Darstellung auf dem Bildschirm beim Ausdruck der
Zusammenhang von Text und zugehörigem Bild verloren geht.

• 

Wird der Fehler nicht bemerkt, besteht die Gefahr, daß Arbeiten nicht korrekt
durchgeführt werden und es dadurch zu Personen- und Sachschäden kommt.

• 

→ Vergleichen Sie deshalb nach dem Druckvorgang unbedingt die Ausdrucke mit der
Bildschirmdarstellung. Korrigieren Sie die Ausdrucke im Fehlerfall so, daß der Inhalt der
Bildschirmdarstellung zutreffend wiedergegeben wird.

WARNING

Danger of losing text-figure correspondence when printing out.

For technical reasons, it can currently not be ruled out that the correspondence
between text and associated figure can be lost when it is printed out, even though
the display on the screen is correct.

• 

If the fault is not noticed, there is the danger that work will not be performed
correctly which can cause injury and damage.

• 

→ Therefore, always compare printouts with the screen display after printing them out. Correct
the printouts if they are faulty so that the content of the screen display matches that on the
printouts.

AVERTISSEMENT

Risque de perte de la correspondance texte-illustration lors de l'impression papier.

Pour des raisons techniques, il ne peut pas être exclu à l'heure actuelle que, même
en cas d'affichage correct à l'écran, la correspondance entre le texte et l'illustration
puisse être erronée sur l'impression papier.

• 

Si l'erreur passe inaperçue, on court le risque d'exécuter certaines opérations de
manière incorrecte pouvant conduire à des dommages corporels et matériels.
