OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, PORSCHE SYSTEM TESTER 2:
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Use:
The Porsche System Tester 2 is a modular, portable diagnostic and measuring system. It can be used in any location to perform diagnostic tests on electronic control modules.
The Tester consists of a computer unit, a main memory, a hard disk, a VGA display panel, a nickel metal hydride battery and a measuring unit for measurement of current, voltage and resistance values.
The Porsche System Tester 2 can be operated with the built-in keys or using a connectable country-specific PS/2 keyboard (option).
Data and measured values can be printed out on one of the ten DIN A4 printers currently approved by Porsche.
The integrated LCD panel is used as the display. A monitor can also be connected (VGA connection).
If a printer or PS/2 keyboard is connected, the corresponding device type must be set under Configuration in the start-up screen.
The Tester thus can be used to check all systems that possess a diagnostic interface conforming with the ISO standard.
The following tasks can be performed:
- Reading out the control-module identification
- Reading out the fault memory
- Erasing the fault memory
- Testing the drive links
- Testing the input signals
- Reading out actual values
- Control module programming
- Current, voltage and resistance measurements
Malfunctions:
The Porsche System Tester 2 is a high-quality electronic device. In order to prevent damage to the unit due to improper use, please observe the operating instructions.
If the Tester no longer responds when any key is pressed, it must be set to a defined state:
1. Press the F1 and F8 keys in addition to the "ON/OFF" key.
2. Release the "ON/OFF" key, then the F1 and F8 keys.
Perform this switch off procedure only if the unit no longer responds when any key is pressed. This procedure can damage the hard disk under certain circumstances if it is performed during normal operation. It may be necessary to repeat input of data created within this diagnostic application.
Problems during operation are indicated to the user via the information line (info line). Example: "Diagnosis Card not inserted".
