Concern:

As of model year 1996, Tiptronic transmission control units (TCU) sold as spare parts must be coded for the country in which the vehicle is operated (RDW, USA or Taiwan).

- Connect the system tester 9288 and select vehicle type 911.

- Select "Country Coding" from the menu. This will display the country coding and where it was coded (factory or repair shop).

- After coding is completed, the above pictured screen will appear. The system tester can now be switched off and removed from the vehicle.
