Programming DME Control Module

Programming DME Control Module

NOTE:
- If a DME control module from a different vehicle with ME 7.1.1 is being used, proceed as follows. As a check, the immobilizer code of the vehicle in which the control unit is being installed (NEW) and of the vehicle from which the control unit has been removed (OLD) are required.
- During DME programming, it is essential to guarantee the power supply for the Porsche System Tester. It is essential to connect a battery charger with a current rating of at least 40 A to the vehicle battery.
- You can get the necessary codes from IPAS or from your importer by specifying the vehicle identification number.
- Symbol for the Tab key = "->|"
- The Porsche System Tester instructions take precedence and in the event of a discrepancy these are the instructions that must be followed. Deviations may occur with later software versions.
- The procedure described here has been structured in general terms; different text or additions may appear in the Porsche System Tester.

1. Connect the Porsche System Tester to the vehicle and start the System Tester. Switch on ignition. Read out DME control module.
2. Switch off ignition and replace DME control module with a new unit.
3. Change to the Control unit programming menu and press ">>".
4. Program control module ">>".
5. Observe System Tester conditions ">>".
6. Select vehicle type ">>".
7. Select transmission type and press ">>".
8. Select emission standard and press ">>".
9. Program control module and confirm with "F8".
10. The data and programming status is then loaded on to the DME control module. Do not interrupt the programming sequence.
11. The System Tester indicates whether the control unit is programmable and the approximate programming time.
12. Once the DME control module has been programmed successfully, switch to the Program immobilizer code menu and press ">>".
13. Enter the old immobilizer code (IPAS, vehicle - OLD), continue with the ">>" key, check the code again and confirm with "F7".
14. Enter the new immobilizer code (IPAS, vehicle - NEW), continue with the ">>" key, check the code again and confirm with "F7".
15. When the programming period expires follow the instructions on the Porsche System Tester.

NOTE:
- In some countries (currently USA, Canada) the Ready status must be obtained following a test drive and/or by using the Porsche System Tester after a DME control module is programmed. If in doubt about this, contact the relevant importer.
- See On-Board Diagnosis Manual (DME 7.1.1)
- With all DME systems, the engine must run for several minutes before the engine control unit can relearn the idle speed and mixture adaptation values.

16. For the learning and adaptation routine of the throttle (E-gas), switch the ignition on for 30 seconds without starting the engine. Do not actuate accelerator pedal. This completes the adaptation of the throttle adjusting unit and the programming sequence is complete.
17. Read out the fault memory and delete the DME control module fault on every control unit connected to the CAN.
18. Carry out a test drive and read out fault memory.

NOTE: If faults are present, proceed in accordance with the DME 7.1.1 Manual. See On-Board Diagnosis Manual (DME 7.1.1)
