Introduction

The data contains the diagnosis for the following system:

Targa roof system T 01

General instructions / safety instructions

The following points must be observed during vehicle diagnosis:
- After the battery is connected, volatile memories must be reprogrammed. In the case of radio coding and tuning, the customer must be informed of decoding and the deleted tuner memory.
- After troubleshooting or repairs, erase the fault memory with the Porsche System Tester 2 and carry out a test drive.
- After the test drive, read out the fault memory with Porsche System Tester 2 again.

DANGER: Danger of injury through triggering of driver's airbag
- Never hang PST 2 over the steering wheel.


CAUTION: Danger of damage due to improper handling of the battery and the control module connectors!
- Never disconnect battery with engine running.
- Never start engine without securely connected battery.
- Never pull off or push on plug connections of the control modules or other electronic components when the ignition is switched on.


General information on the fault memory

Fault Code setting conditions
Fault codes can be set in several circumstances, e.g.:
- battery disconnected
- plug connections disconnected
- power failure

In these circumstances, no fault is present in the system and the fault memory must be erased.

Fault memory Info key [F8]
In order to be able to assess the fault exactly, the fault memory Info key [F8] must be pressed. This information should be saved using the Save key [F4] and printed out. If a fault code is stored with "not present" status and no other problems are present, then the fault memory must be erased.

Open circuit - short to ground / voltage short / version; vehicle parameters / counter
Counter: When a fault first occurs, a fault entry is made in the fault memory and the counter is simultaneously set to 50. If a fault is present, the counter is incremented by 1 each time the ignition is switched on. The maximum count is 100. The counter is decremented if the fault is no longer present. The fault memory is erased automatically when the counter reaches 0.
