Drive Links

Drive links

With this menu item, it is possible to activate drive links using the Porsche System Tester 2.
This permits the function of drive links to be assessed very rapidly.

The following drive links can be activated:
- Motor, temperature mixing valve
- Motor, central valve
- Motor, footwell / defrost valve
- Motor, outside air / recirculation valve
- AC switch
- Fresh-air fan

Input signals

With this menu item, input signals of the heating/ air conditioning system can be read in by the Porsche System Tester 2. This permits the functions of input signals to be assessed very rapidly:

The following input signals can be read in:
- AC switch
- Compressor voltage
- Engine signal (indication of engine start)
- Terminal 58 (lighting)

Actual values

Values currently under test can be read out via - Parameter code
this menu item.

The following values can be called up:
- Outside temperature (from the instrument cluster)
- Outside temperature (from the heating/air conditioning)
- Interior temperature
- Blower outlet temperature
- Engine temperature
- Position, temperature mixing valve
- Position, central valve
- Position, footwell / defrost valve
- Position, outside air / recirculation valve
- Fresh-air blower voltage
- Supply voltage (terminal 15)
- Supply voltage (5 Volt)
- Speed
- Engine speed
- Sun intensity
- Dimming display
- Idle period

System test
Special diagnosis routines can be run with this menu item.

The following conditions must be observed for the system test:
- Vehicle speed < 10 km/h
- Engine start detected and 10 seconds elapsed since engine start
- Terminal 15 supply voltage OK
- 5 Volt supply voltage OK
- Engine temperature < 110 °C
- Outside temperature > 3 °C

The following tests are performed:
- Display of all segments in the control module
- The drive motors are traversed across the entire range once
- The measured positioning travel is subjected to a plausibility test and stored as a fault if necessary
- Two different voltage values are set on the fresh-air fan and tested
- The A/C circuit is tested via the DME
- All fault paths are tested, and any faults are stored

After the system test, the heating/air conditioning reverts to the state it was in before the test.
