WE30 - Re-programming DME Control Unit (Workshop Campaign)
Important:
CRITICAL WARNING - THIS CAMPAIGN INCLUDES STEPS WHERE SEVERAL CONTROL UNITS IN
THE VEHICLE WILL BE PROGRAMMED WITH THE PIWIS TESTER. IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE VEHICLE
VOLTAGE BE BETWEEN 13.5 VOLTS AND 14.5 VOLTS DURING THIS PROGRAMMING. OTHERWISE, THE
PROGRAMMING COULD FAIL RESULTING IN DAMAGED CONTROL UNITS. CONTROL UNITS DAMAGED BY
INADEQUATE VOLTAGE WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE TECHNICIAN MUST VERIFY THE
ACTUAL VEHICLE VOLTAGE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OR IN THE PIWIS TESTER BEFORE STARTING
THE CAMPAIGN AND ALSO DOCUMENT THE ACTUAL VOLTAGE ON THE REPAIR ORDER. IT IS ALSO
ADVISABLE TO MONITOR THE VEHICLE VOLTAGE DURING THE PROGRAMMING VIA THE INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER. PLEASE REFER TO EQUIPMENT INFORMATION EQ-1105 FOR A LIST OF SUITABLE BATTERY
CHARGERS/POWER SUPPLIES WHICH SHOULD BE USED TO MAINTAIN VEHICLE VOLTAGE.
Model Year:
As of 2013 up to 2015
Model Line:
911 Carrera (991)
Equipment:
Carrera Power Kit (I-no. X51)
Concerns:
DME control unit
Information:
This is to inform you of a voluntary Workshop Campaign on the above-mentioned vehicles. A new data
record is available for the DME control unit.
This data record improves the engine running quality at idle speed in order to prevent possible engine
speed fluctuations and customer complaints.
The improved idling quality only affects engine operating comfort.
Action
Required:
Re-program DME control unit.
Affected
Vehicles:
The VIN(s) can be checked by using PIWIS Vehicle Information link to verify if the campaign affects the
vehicle. This campaign is scope specific to the VIN! Failure to verify in PIWIS may result in an improper
repair. This campaign affects 464 vehicles in North America.
Tools:
•
•
Work
Procedure:
See Attachment “A”.
9818 - PIWIS Tester II with PIWIS Tester software version 13.900 (or higher) installed.
Battery Charger/Power Supply - Suitable for AGM Type batteries, recommended current rating of
70A fixed voltage 13.5V to 14.5V. Refer to Equipment Information EQ-1105.

Attachment "A"
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.
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.
Work
Procedure:
NOTE: VEHICLE VOLTAGE MUST REMAIN BETWEEN 13.5 AND 14.5 VOLTS DURING THE ENTIRE WORK

Carrying out control unit programming
Information
Vehicles with PDK transmission (I-no. 250):
•
During DME control unit programming, the PDK control unit is also re-programmed and coded
automatically.
•
The instrument cluster is also re-programmed and coded on vehicles manufactured before week
45/2013.
Information
When the instrument cluster is re-coded, the individual settings implemented in the instrument cluster
by the customer will be lost and are reset to the default values of the country version that applies to
the vehicle.
After carrying out the campaign, therefore, please inform your customers that personal settings
they have implemented in the instrument cluster will have to be set again and provide them with any help
and support they need for setting the relevant options.
This affects the following settings in the Vehicle menu, for example:
Work
Procedure:
•
Lowering of exterior mirror on passenger’s side during parking manouvers
•
Locking settings
•

Read and follow the information and instructions
on the PIWIS Tester during the guided
programming sequence.
During the programming sequence, the DME control
unit is re-programmed and then re-codedautomatically.
Programming sequence:
On vehicles with PDK transmission (I-no. 250), the
PDK control unit - and the instrument cluster,
if necessary - is also re-programmed and coded
automatically.
Do not interrupt programming and coding.
Programming time (approx.):
•
•
6 minutes (vehicles with manual transmission)
or
12 minutes (vehicles with PDK transmission)
If the instrument cluster is also re-programmed
on vehicles with PDK transmission, the total
programming time is approx. 28 minutes.

End the guided programming sequence and
disconnect the PIWIS Tester from the vehicle.
Switch off ignition and lock the vehicle.
Wait for at least 5 minutes before unlocking the
vehicle again and switching on the ignition.
Connect the PIWIS Tester to the vehicle and
repeat control unit programming by restarting
programming.
If the DME and PDK control units have been
programmed successfully and only the
instrument cluster programming was not
completed successfully, the instrument cluster
can also be re-programmed again separately
by entering the programming code C8K6B.
Switch off ignition and lock the vehicle.
Wait for at least 5 minutes before unlocking the
vehicle again and switching on the ignition.
Check to see if the problem persists.

Carry out general subsequent work for control unit programming as described in  Workshop
Manual '9X00IN Basic instructions and procedure for control unit programming using the PIWIS
Tester - section on "Subsequent work"'.
Information
If the fault memory entry "01001C: Operator and display Log - No communication" is stored in
the instrument cluster, please ignore this. This fault memory entry is caused by a communication
problem between the control units during programming.
Information
The values for the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system may be lost during re-coding of the
instrument cluster.
If the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system is reset, you must select Main menu > Tire pressure
> Settings in the instrument cluster to reset the tire type and tire size. The wheel position values
will then be re-taught in the control unit during the test drive (at a speed of over 15 mph or25
km/h).
To set the tire type and tire size, see  Owner’s Manual, chapter Instrument Panel and Multi-Function
Display - ‘Tire Pressure Monitoring, TPM’.
