Remote Control For Central Locking System Not
Functioning - Engine Shutdown Not Possible

Vehicle Type:
Cayenne S / Cayenne Turbo

Model Year:
As of '03 (3)

Equipment:
Central Locking System (I No. 4K0, 4K3)
or
Porsche Entry & Drive (I No. 4F2, 4F6)

Concerns:
Kessy control unit/immobilizer complaint:

- Radio remote control for central locking system not functioning, although the battery of the remote control is ok (vehicle has "Central locking system" feature),

- Engine shutdown not possible (vehicle has "Entry & Drive" feature).

Information:
The complaint occurs in the case of "Central locking system" feature: after overloading of the central control unit's communication system due to incorrect data exchange (processor "hangs").

"Entry & Drive" feature: after fast left-right turns (at least two) of the control module in the ignition lock with the engine running. The Kessy control unit/immobilizer interrupts the connection between the ignition lock and terminal 15.

As a remedy, install a new control unit with modified software.

The new Kessy control unit/immobilizer must be programmed with the Porsche System Tester 2 and the software 16.2 (or higher); refer to the Cayenne Technical Manual, Group 9, Chapter 9-18 - Removing and installing the control unit for Kessy/immobilizer.
