Removing instrument cluster

ATTENTION:
Sudden voltage interruption of the power supply to the control module.
- Destruction of the control module.
- During 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.
- Prior to disconnecting the control module, switch off the ignition and remove the ignition key.

1. If a new instrument cluster is to be installed, read out the values if possible from the instrument cluster.
2. Loosen the steering wheel adjustment, put the steering wheel in the front-most and lowest position and lock the steering wheel adjustment.
3. Unscrew the two fastening screws -1-.

Unscrewing Fastening Screws:

4. Pull instrument cluster forward, push side panels -2- to the side.
5. Release electrical connector -A- and unplug it.

Releasing And Unplugging Electrical Connectors:

Programming instrument cluster

Reading and printing values

NOTE:
- If the instrument cluster is replaced or exchanged, the instrument cluster must be programmed and coded using the PIWIS Tester 9718. This is done to adapt the instrument cluster to the vehicle and equipment.
- If possible, before the instrument cluster is removed and replaced, a read-out of the vehicle data should be obtained using the Porsche System Tester.
- During coding, 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.
- 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.
