Cayenne (92A) Advanced Technical Information 1816 9431 9 This ATI bulletin replaces bulletin Group 9, Tail Light Defective Warning in the Instrument Cluster #1503, dated 12-19-17. Vehicles Affected Model Model Year Model Type VIN Range Vehicle-Specific Equipment Cayenne 2015-2018 92A N/A N/A Concern The driver receives a warning message in the instrument cluster indicating that a tail light is not working. (See Figure 1.) However, in some cases, the tail light actually does work as observed from outside the vehicle. Technical Background The workshop confirms the customer’s observation along with fault codes 880F0E or 880F1E in the rear BCM module. However, the tail light may be working. Service Information Figure 1 New guided fault finding is available in the PIWIS tester as of release 37.000. Consult this repair advice first. The alternate solution is to replace at least one of the tail lights based on these failure modes: A) False warning. If the warning message is present and all the tail lights are lighted, the likely causative part is the outer tail light. Be sure to order replacement parts from the part numbers listed below. Since 2016, replacement outer tail lights have been available with different part numbers. For the inner tail lights, old parts were withdrawn and replacement parts are available using the same part numbers. Previous Part Number Current Part Number 95863106120 95863106121 95863106130 95863106131 95863106220 95863106221 95863106230 95863106231 B) Actual tail light outage. If the warning is present and any of the tail lights are not lighted, replace that tail light as usual.
