Removing And Installing Wiper Motor







Removing Wiper Motor







WARNING: Danger of injury:
- During work on the wiper, the ignition must be switched off and the ignition key removed.
- Activate wipers once (flick wiping) so that wiper arms are in the normal position.

NOTE:
- The wiper system is deactivated if the bonnet is open. The wipers are only reactivated once the bonnet has been closed and the wiper system has been switched off and on again.
- The wiper control module is located in the wiper motor.
- If a new wiper motor is installed, it must be coded using the Porsche System Tester. Refer to 'Coding the wiper control module'
- Remove front cover (engine compartment cover).







Installing Wiper Motor







- Before the wiper motor is attached to the wiper link, connect the wiper motor to the electrical plug connection, close the bonnet, activate the flick wiping function at least once and let it run to the limit position. Disconnect plug connection again.
- The wiper motor must be operated again at least once with a flick wiping action and allowed to run to the limit position before the wiper arms are attached. Close the bonnet.
- Observe the sequence of fastening screws "8". See procedure no. 3 in the following figure.







NOTE: If a new wiper motor is installed, ensure that the relevant Porsche original screws are used.

Coding The Wiper Control Module
After the wiper motor with control module is replaced, the coding must be adapted to the vehicle equipment so that the control module knows which sensor it can find on the sensor cable.

The following equipment features can be changed:
- Wiper with rain sensor
- Wiper with rain/light sensor

Vehicle coding table







NOTE:
- When the coding is changed in the menu item Modify coding, the ignition must always be switched off afterwards and the key removed.
- After the ignition is switched on again, the new coding of the control module is updated and the stored faults can be erased.
- If it is not possible to communicate with the wiper motor control module, this may be caused by incorrect coding. Remedy: Re-code the control module and restart the connection setup using the Tester. Code control module correctly.
- If the coding does not match the vehicle equipment, faults will be displayed that are not really present.
- The wiper motor control module does not function without a valid coding entry.
