Programming New DME Control Module



Programming new DME control module

INFORMATION:
- If a new DME control module is to be installed in a vehicle, the DME code specified in IPAS and the immobilizer code must be entered in the DME control module.
- You can get the 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 vehicle battery.
- Symbol for the TAB key = ->|.
- The instructions of the Porsche System Tester have highest priority.
- The procedure listed has been structured generally, changes or additions can be made.

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 Carrera - 911 (996).

Version 1:
- Using the -> key, move from the vehicle type to the list of control modules.

Version 2:
- Using the >> key, move from the vehicle type to the list of control units. The Vehicle Ident. No. under point 7 only has to be confirmed and not entered.

3. Select DME with the cursor keys and press the >> key.
4. Select "Control unit programming" with the cursor keys and press the >> key.
5. Select "Control unit programming" with the cursor keys and press the >> key. Follow the displayed programming instructions from the Porsche System Tester.
6. Enter the Veh. Ident. No. with the cursor keys, continue with >> and confirm with F7.
7. Enter the new DME (IPAS) programming code and confirm with the >> key.
8. Check the DME programming code again; if the code is correct, confirm with the F7 key.
9. Enter the new immobilizer code (IPAS), confirm with the >> key, check the code again and confirm with the F7 key.
10. Select the required program map and confirm with the >> key.
11. The data and programming status is then loaded on to the DME control module. Do not interrupt the programming sequence.
12. When the programming period has expired, follow the instructions from the Porsche System Tester - CAN TIME OUT -.
13. 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.
14. Read out the fault memory and delete the fault - CAN TIME OUT - on every control module that is connected to the CAN.

Programming DME control module

INFORMATION:
- If the DME control module from a different 911 Carrera (996) vehicle with ME 7.2 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 vehicle battery.
- Symbol for the TAB key = ->|
- When programming maps, update the data records. Procedure is similar to - Control unit programming -. Follow the instructions for the Porsche System Tester.

1. Connect the Porsche System Tester to the vehicle and start the System Tester. Switch ignition on.

4. Select "Control unit programming" with the cursor keys and press the >> key.
5. Select "Control unit programming" with the cursor keys and press the >> key. Follow the displayed programming instructions from the Porsche System Tester.
6. Enter the Veh. Ident. No. with the cursor keys, continue with >> and confirm with F7.
7. 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.
8. Enter the new DME (IPAS, vehicle - NEW) programming code with the cursor keys, continue with the >> key and, after checking, confirm with F7.
9. Enter the old immobilizer code (IPAS, vehicle - OLD), continue with the >> key, check the code again and confirm with F7.
10. Enter the new immobilizer code (IPAS, vehicle - NEW), continue with the >> key, check the code again and confirm with F7.
11. Select the required program map and confirm with the >> key.
12. The data status is loaded on to the DME control module. Do not interrupt the programming sequence.
13. When the programming period has expired, follow the instructions from the Porsche System Tester - CAN TIME OUT -.
14. 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.
15. Read out the fault memory and delete the fault - CAN TIME OUT - on every control module that is connected to the CAN.

Programming map as of 7.2
1. Select "Control unit programming" with the cursor keys in the DME control module and press the >> key.
2. Select "Program map" >> and observe the programming instructions.
3. Enter old DME programming code, >>, confirm with F7 key.

6. The tester shows whether the data status is current or not current.
7. Proceed further according to the tester instructions.

Programming map as of 7.8 min
Under the heading - DME, Control unit programming, Control unit type - it is possible to check whether the data record for this vehicle is up-to-date or not.

In the case of - Not up-to-date - the data record can be updated with - Program map -. The prerequisite is that a customer complaint has been submitted or that Porsche AG has arranged for this to be done in the context of a campaign.

In the case of - Up-to-date - the data record and the version are displayed.

Version (data records)

INFORMATION:
- To enable the Diagnosis Software No. to be completely tracked, the Software No. is listed in this chapter as of M 5.2.2.
- It must be taken into account in this chapter that not all variants can be listed separately. This document should provide the contents of the data records.
- Extended contents can be listed in the following tables.
- The listed tables are included in the software status 12.1, Porsche System Tester. Therefore, higher software versions may feature extended or deviating contents.
- The diagnosis software no. (see following tables) does not need to be taken into account as of PST2 software 12.1.











Control module type as of model year '02







INFORMATION:
- As of model year '02, the transferred data status can be read out under the chapter control module programming.
- A differentiation is made in the EU3 version under JM 193 and JM 405. This is due to the fact that the vehicles have different catalytic converters installed. The catalytic converter number must be read off and can be allocated to the correct software in the following table.
