Testing

STARTING DIAGNOSIS:
1. Connect the Porsche System Tester 2 to the diagnostic socket (data link connector) in the vehicle
2. Switch on the Porsche System Tester 2 (it will be ready for operation in approx. 60 seconds).
3. Switch on the ignition.
4. Select the vehicle type and initiate diagnosis with key 2.14.

The Porsche System Tester 2 starts to search for control modules and then lists all control modules it finds. Control modules that are not installed (e.g. Tiptronic control module on vehicles with manual transmission) are displayed in grey.


NOTE: If no control modules are detected, check whether the ignition is on or whether terminal 15 is present on the diagnostic socket. If faults are stored in a control module, this is identified with the # symbol as before.

Automatic switch-off:
The Porsche System Tester 2 switches itself off after an Off-delay:

- no voltage is supplied via the mains power supply unit or via the vehicle battery
or
- no data are being transferred via an interface (no key pressed, no communication with control module).

The Off delay time can be changed in the Configuration menu. The default Off-delay time is 3 minutes.

Automatic switch off is preceded by a rhythmic beeping sound (10 seconds). The Porsche System Tester 2 will remain switched on if the mains power supply is connected or a key is pressed within this time

Software Update:
The software can be updated using the supplied CDROM drive.

1. Connect CD-ROM drive with the Porsche System Tester 2.
2. Connect Porsche System Tester 2 and the CD-ROM drive to the mains power supply unit.
3. Load CD-ROM in the drive and close the drive.
4. Switch on the Porsche System Tester 2.
5. Select "Software installation" in the Configuration menu.
