Programming DME Control Module
Programming DME control moduleGeneral
When a DME control module is replaced, the new DME control module must be programmed.
This sets the new DME control module to the catalytic converter version installed, among other things.
Three catalytic converter versions are available in the Porsche System Tester 2:
1. OBD II control module
2. RoW control module
3. German control module (tri-metal catalytic converter)
Work preparation
The following vehicle data must be provided before programming of the new DME control module can begin:
- Vehicle Ident. No.
- Catalytic converter item No. corresponding to the catalytic converter version used
- DME and immobilizer programming codes (from the Porsche IPAS system)
With the information about the Vehicle Ident.
Number and catalytic converter item number, the associated programme can be selected from the allocation table.
Figure 307_98 shows where the catalytic converter item number can be found on the vehicle.

Program map/data must be selected in Step 7 if reprogramming is necessary.
WARNING: Risk of damage if allocation is incorrect.
- Ensure correct allocation of the data record in the control module to the installed catalytic converter (refer to the allocation table)
