Programming and Relearning

Control module function (coding/programming)

Coding

Extracting and changing coding
Under the 'Coding' menu item you can read out which equipment features are activated and which are not.

The following equipment features can be read out:
- Tyre type
- Tyre size
- Instrument cluster 3"
- Instrument cluster 5"
- External spare wheel
- Spare wheel/sealing set

NOTE: When the coding is changed in the "Coding" menu item, the serial numbers of the wheel electronics must always be read in afterwards. This can be done using the Porsche System Tester II No. 9588 or by driving for approx. 20 minutes. Otherwise the system is not active.

NOTE:
- If the coding does not match the vehicle equipment, faults will be displayed that are not really present.
- The control module does not function without a valid coding entry.
