Removing display and operator control unit (PCM2)
NOTE: Always observe the general notes when working with optical waveguides.
NOTE:
- If the PCM2 is to be replaced by a new or a different PCM2, read out the data before removal using the PIWIS tester 9718.
- If the data cannot be read out, the new PCM2 must be coded.
1. Switch off ignition and remove ignition key.
2. Use a plastic spatula to carefully unclip the covering frame, starting from the bottom left and right.
3. Unscrew the four fastening screws.
4. Carefully pull out the PCM2.
NOTE: The number of plugs can vary, depending on the vehicle equipment.
5. Press lock on antenna plugs -arrows- and pull off antenna line -a, b and c-.
6. Release plugs -1, 2, 3, 4- one after the other -arrows- and disconnect them.
Installing display and operator control unit (PCM2)
NOTE: Plug -4- must be connected first.
1. Plug in plugs -4, 3, 2, 1- in this order until they are felt to engage.
2. Push in antenna plugs -a, b, c- until the plugs are felt to engage.
3. Carefully slide the PCM2 as far as it will go into the housing in the dashboard. Make sure that the leads are not pinched.
4. Fasten the PCM2 to the dashboard with the four fastening screws.
5. Fit the covering frame and press into place until it is felt to engage.
6. Read data into the PCM2.
Programming display and operator control unit (PCM2)
Reading out and printing out values
NOTE:
- When installing a new PCM/CDR in a vehicle, the PCM/CDR code specified in IPAS should be present. Normally, the code is stored in the instrument cluster, and is read out from the PCM/CDR.
- You can get the codes from IPAS or from your importer by specifying the vehicle identification number.
- During coding, there should be a guaranteed power supply for the PIWIS tester 9718. It is essential to connect a battery charger with a current rating of at least 40 A to the vehicle battery.
- The PIWIS tester 9718 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 PIWIS tester 9718.
1. Connect the PIWIS tester 9718 to the vehicle and start it. Switch on the ignition .>>" Continue.
2. Select vehicle type.
3. Switch from the vehicle type to the list of control units.

6. Select Read coding and press .>>".
7. On the screen of the PIWIS tester you see the message Coding read-out complete.>>".
8. Switch off ignition and replace the PCM2.
9. Switch on ignition. Once you have replaced the PCM2, the data that was read out is loaded under the Write in coding menu (see Step 7). Press .>>".
10. The PIWIS tester displays the message Coding write-in complete.>>".
11. Select the MOST required installed components list in the PCM2 MMI menu and compare it with the MOST actual installed components list.
12. Go to the Coding menu and select Equipment.>>" to check whether the coding corresponds to the vehicle equipment and code it to suit the vehicle if necessary.
13. Quit PCM2 in the PCM2 MMI menu.
14. Check the function of the PCM for the equipment installed (e.g. telephone, off-road navigation, etc.).
15. Go to PCM2 and select PCM2 MMI and Read out fault memory. Erase it if necessary.
16. PCM2 has now been taught. Disconnect tester from the vehicle.
Coding the display and operator control unit (PCM2)
NOTE:
- When installing a new PCM/CDR in a vehicle, the PCM/CDR code specified in IPAS should be present. Normally, the code is stored in the instrument cluster, and is read out from the PCM/CDR.
- You can get the codes from IPAS or from your importer by specifying the vehicle identification number.

- The procedure described here has been structured in general terms; different text or additions may appear in the PIWIS tester 9718.
- The installed components that are detected are displayed in the MOST actual installed components list.
- Compare the installed components detected from the MOST actual installed components list with the MOST required installed components list.
1. Connect the PIWIS tester 9718 to the vehicle and start it. Switch on the ignition .>>" Continue.
2. Select the vehicle type.
3. Select PCM2 control unit and press .>>".
4. Select PCM2 MMI in the PCM2 menu and press .>>".

28. PCM is now taught.
29. If the PCM/vehicle equipment does not have a DVD navigation unit, then adjust the time/date using the SET button on the PCM and in the menu PCM system.
30. For vehicle equipment with DVD navigation unit, switch on the PCM in clear surroundings (to load GPS almanac); as soon as four satellites are identified the almanac will reload. The time is updated again when there is a plausible GPS reception (four satellites). The date and time are also adopted once the GPS almanac has been loaded; it may be necessary to change over to summer time (daylight-saving time). This time is transferred to the instrument cluster. If the time is then manually changed by means of the instrument cluster, this time is adopted by the PCM and synchronised with GPS time.
31. For vehicle equipment with telephone, the telephone is enabled again when the telephone PIN code is entered with the SIM telephone card inserted.
Control module replacement - PCM2
The PCM2 is provided in active production mode in new vehicles and as a spare part. Each time the vehicle is started, the stored VIN is compared with that in the instrument cluster. Provided no match is found, the device switches off after 30 seconds and the PROTECTED message appears in the display. The device is not operational.
If a match is found, the device is operational. No further checks are made while the device is connected to the vehicle electrical system.
