Vehicle Type:
911 Turbo (991)/911 Turbo S (991)
Model Year:
As of 2014 up to 2015
Concerns:
Control unit for all-wheel drive system Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
Information:
This is to inform you of a voluntary Workshop Campaign on the above-mentioned vehicles. The affected
vehicles were fitted with a control unit for the all-wheel drive system in which a purging routine
for the hydraulic pump drive for the multiplate clutch is not activated due to an error in the
control unit software.
This can cause wear particles to clog up the hydraulic pump drive over the service life of the vehicle,
resulting in higher power consumption for the pump drive.
As a result, the all-wheel drive system will be deactivated and the warning message "No all-wheel sys. –
Only rear-wh drive – Adapted driving permitted" will be displayed in the instrument cluster.
Action
Required:
Replace control unit for all-wheel drive system.

vehicle. This campaign is scope specific to the VIN! Failure to verify in PIWIS may result in an improper
repair. This campaign affects 2,801 vehicles in North America.

Attachment "A": Work Procedure
NOTICE
Coding will be aborted in the event of low-voltage.
•
Increased current draw during diagnosis can cause a drop in voltage, which can result in one or more fault
entries and the abnormal termination of the coding process.

Before getting started, connect a suitable battery charger with a current rating of at least 70 A to the
jump-start terminals in the engine compartment.
NOTICE
Coding will be aborted if the WLAN connection is unstable.
•
An unstable WLAN connection can interrupt communication between PIWIS Tester II and the vehicle
communication module (VCI). As a result, coding may be aborted.

During control unit coding, always connect PIWIS Tester II to the vehicle communication module (VCI) via
the USB cable.
