PDK Transmission: Fault Codes P172D, P17F1 P17F2, P18CA, P18CB (65/13)
Revision:
Revision 1: December 11, 2013 amends 991 Grp 3, #65/13 dated November 19, 2013 to reflect that
the correct version of PIWIS software is 13.100.
Model Year:
As of 2013 up to 2014
Vehicle Type:
911 Carrera (991)/911 Carrera S (991)
911 Carrera 4 (991)/911 Carrera 4S (991)
Equipment:
PDK transmission (I-no. 250)
Concerns:
PDK transmission
Information:
There is a possibility of moisture condensing in the vent line of the PDK transmission under certain
environmental influences and getting into the inside of the PDK transmission through the ventilation
connections.
The transmission oil/water emulsion created as a result of this is deposited on the inner contacts of the
multiple plug connection for the PDK transmission and causes electric shunt circuits there.
If this happens, the PDK transmission can malfunction, e.g. switch to the reduced driving program
(limp-home mode).
The fault type can be recognized by the following symptoms:
•
•
Transmission warning message (yellow/red) in the instrument cluster
At least one of the following fault memory entries or fault entry combinations is stored in the fault
memory of the PDK control unit:
•
•
•
•
•
Affected
Vehicles:
P172D – Transmission temperature sensor gradient error
P17F1 – Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) above limit value
P17F2 – Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) above limit value

Information
If the fault type described here occurs on a vehicle with a PDK transmission outside of the specified
transmission number range, the fault type must first be corrected in accordance with the Guided Fault
Finding (GFF) instructions on the PIWIS Tester.
Action
Required:
If this fault type occurs on a PDK transmission with a transmission number within the transmission
number range specified above, the following measures must be carried out one after the other:
Remedial action 1:
•
Heat the contacts in the connector housing for the electric multiple plug connection on the
PDK transmission from the outside using a hot-air blower so that the condensation on the inner
contacts (which are not visible) evaporates.
•
Leave the PDK transmission for at least 4 hours (e.g. overnight) with the ventilation connection
for the clutch chamber open so that any residual condensation can escape from the PDK transmission through the ventilation connection.
Remedial action 2:
•
Replace the vent line installed on the PDK transmission with two short breather hoses.
Remedial action 3:
•
Tools:

To remove condensation adhering to the inner contacts (which are not visible) of the multiple plug
connection for the PDK transmission, the contacts in the connector housing must be heated from
the outside using a hot-air blower.
The application of heat to the outer contacts removes (evaporates) the condensation on the inner
contacts (which are not visible) of the multiple plug connection.
After heating the connector, also leave the transmission to dry off for at least 4 hours (e.g.
overnight) with the ventilation connection for the clutch chamber open to make sure that all
condensation is removed.

Work
Procedure:
NOTICE
Fault entry in the fault memory and control unit programming aborted due to low voltage.
•
Increased current draw during diagnosis or control unit programming can cause a drop in voltage, which
can result in one or more fault entries and the abnormal termination of the programming process.

Before starting control unit programming, connect a battery charger or power supply, suitable for AGM
type batteries, recommended current rating of 70A fixed voltage 13.5V to 14.5V to the vehicle.
NOTICE
Control unit programming will be aborted if the Internet connection is unstable.
•
An unstable Internet connection can interrupt communication between PIWIS Tester II and the vehicle
communication module (VCI). As a result, control unit programming may be aborted.

During control unit programming, always connect PIWIS Tester II to the vehicle communication module
(VCI) via the USB cable.
NOTICE
Control unit programming will be aborted if the vehicle key is not recognized
•
If the vehicle key is not recognized in vehicles with Porsche Entry & Drive, programming cannot be started
or will be interrupted.

Switch on the ignition using the original vehicle key. To do this, replace the original vehicle key in the
ignition lock with the plastic key fob if it was previously removed at the start of this procedure.
Information
When the PDK control unit is programmed, the DME control unit is also re-programmed automatically.
Total programming time is approx. 12 minutes.

If the fault memories of individual control units (e.g. DME, PDK, etc.) cannot be erased, start the engine
briefly and then switch it off again. Wait for approx. 10 seconds before switching the ignition on again and
re-establish the connection between the PIWIS Tester and the vehicle. Then read out and erase the fault
memories of the affected control units again separately.
If the fault memory entries are still present, proceed as follows:
•
Switch off ignition.
•
Disconnect the PIWIS Tester diagnostic connector from the diagnostic socket.
•
Lock the vehicle using the driver's key.
•
Wait for approx. 1 minute before unlocking the vehicle again and then read out the fault memories of
the control units again and erase them.
If control units are found to have faults, which cannot be erased and are not caused by control unit
programming, these faults must be found and corrected. This work cannot be invoiced under the
