WRA8 - Re-Programming Control Unit for Chassis Control (PASM) (Workshop Campaign)
Important:
CRITICAL WARNING - This campaign includes steps where control unit(s) in the vehicle will be
programmed with the PIWIS Tester. The vehicle voltage must be maintained between 13.5 volts and 14.5
volts during this programming. Failure to maintain this voltage could result in damaged control unit(s).
Damage caused by inadequate voltage during programming is not a warrantable defect. The technician
must verify the actual vehicle voltage in the PIWIS Tester before starting the campaign and also document
the actual voltage on the repair order.
Model Year:
As of 2024 up to 2025
Model Line:
Cayenne (9YA / 9YB)
Concerns:
Control unit for chassis control (PASM)
Cause:
Due to a software error in the control unit for chassis control, it is possible that the start routine
of the control unit will not be completed when the ignition is switched on.
As a result, communication with the control unit for chassis control is disrupted until the ignition is
switched off and on again. The control unit cannot then be accessed for diagnosis either.
Action:
Re-program the control unit for chassis control (PASM) with the latest PIWIS Tester software release.
Minimum requirement: Release 42.500.000
Affected
Vehicles:
Only vehicles assigned to the campaign (see also PCSS Vehicle Information).
Required tools
Tools:
•
•
Battery charger with a current rating of at least 90 A, e.g., VAS 5908 - battery charger 90 A
P90999 - PIWIS Tester 4
Re-programming control unit for chassis control (PASM)
Work Procedure: 1
The prerequisites for control unit programming are described in the Workshop Manual  Workshop
Manual '9X00IN Basic Instructions and Procedure for Control Unit Programming Using the PIWIS
Tester'.
2
After the backup documentation process, the integration test is started automatically. The result
must first be ignored.
3
Re-program the control unit for chassis control (PASM).

Type of control unit programming:
Control unit programming using the “Automatic
programming” function of the control unit for
chassis control (PASM).
Programming sequence:
Read and follow the information and
instructions on the PIWIS Tester during the
guided programming sequence.
Do not interrupt programming and coding.
A backup documentation process for the
re-programmed software releases starts as
soon as programming and coding is complete.

Programming time (up to):
8 minutes
Procedure in the event of error messages
appearing during the programming sequence:
 Workshop Manual '9X00IN Basic instructions
Procedure in the event of a termination in the
control unit programming:
Repeat control unit programming by restarting
programming.

Read out fault memory. If necessary, work through existing faults and delete them.
Information
If control units are found to have faults that are not caused by control unit programming, these
must first be found and corrected. This work cannot be invoiced under the workshop campaign
number.
5
Press •F3“ to start the integration test in the control unit selection.
All affected control units should now be successfully re-programmed or checked in the control unit
overview and their status.
Information
If a deviation in the integration test is still indicated despite programming being carried out, this must
be repeated. If the deviation persists, contact Technical Support.
