Programming The DME Control Module




Programming the DME control module 911 Turbo (996)

NOTE:
- If the DME control module from a different 911 Turbo (996) vehicle is being used, proceed as follows. As a check, the DME code and the immobilizer code of the vehicle in which the control module is being installed (NEW) and of the vehicle from which the control module has been removed (OLD) are required.
- You can get the necessary codes from IPAS or from your importer by specifying the vehicle identification number.
- During DME programming, it is essential to guarantee the power supply for the Porsche System Tester. In case of doubt, connect a charging unit to the car battery.
- Symbol for the TAB key = [-->|]
- When programming maps, update the data records. Procedure is similar to -Control unit programming-. Follow the instructions from the Porsche System Tester.

1. Connect the Porsche System Tester to the vehicle and start the System Tester. Switch ignition on.
2. Select vehicle type using the cursor keys. In the 911 Turbo 911 (996).
3. Using the [-->|] key, move from the vehicle type to the list of control modules.
4. Select DME with the cursor keys and press the [>>] key.
5. Select "Control unit programming" with the cursor keys and press the [>>] key.
6. Select "Control unit programming" with the cursor keys and press the [>>] key. Follow the displayed programming instructions from the Porsche System Tester.
7. Enter the Veh. Ident. No. with the cursor keys, continue with [>>] and confirm with F7.
8. Enter the old DME (IPAS, vehicle - OLD) programming code with the cursor keys, continue with the [>>] key and, after checking the code, confirm with F7.
9. Enter the new DME (IPAS, vehicle - NEW) programming code with the cursor keys, continue with the [>>] key and, after checking, confirm with F7.
10. Enter the old immobilizer code (IPAS, vehicle - OLD), continue with the [>>] key, check the code again and confirm with F7.
11. Enter the new immobilizer code (IPAS, vehicle - NEW), continue with the [>>] key, check the code again and confirm with F7.
12. Select the required program map and confirm with the [>>] key
==>Refer to "Version (data records) 911 Turbo (996)".

14. When the programming period has expired, follow the instructions from the Porsche System Tester -CAN TIME OUT-.
15. Press the [>>] key. For the learning and adaptation routine of the throttle (E-gas), switch the ignition on for 1 minute without starting the engine and without actuating the accelerator pedal. Then switch the ignition off for at least 10 seconds. This completes the adaptation of the throttle adjusting unit and the programming sequence is complete.
16. Read out the fault memory and delete the fault -CAN TIME OUT- on every control module that is connected to the CAN.
