DIAGNOSIS/TROUBLESHOOTING FAULT CODE 9150 (SPOILER DOES NOT RETRACT)

Work instruction Display OK If not OK
1 Check fuse
  • Check fuse D 7
Step 2 Replace fuse -> End
2 Check spoiler status
  • In the menu item "Input signals", select "Spoiler status"
  • Spoiler completely extended
Display in Porsche System Tester II 9588: "Spoiler is extended" Step 13
3 Check spoiler button
  • In menu item "Input signals", select "Spoiler button"
  • Actuate "Retract spoiler" button and perform the function check
Display in Porsche System Tester II 9588: "Retract spoiler" button actuated Check spoiler button or check the wiring from the spoiler button to the instrument cluster.
->End
4 Check relay 9 voltage supply (rear relay carrier)
  • Switch off ignition
  • Disconnect relay 9
  • Measure voltage between relay socket pin 5 and ground
Battery positive voltage
Step 5
Short circuit to ground/open circuit in the wiring between fuse D7 and relay 3 or from relay No.3 to relay No. 9
Repair wiring harness.
->End
5 Check relay 9 ground lead (rear relay carrier)
  • Measure resistance between relay socket pin 4 and ground
  • Measure resistance between relay socket pin 2 and ground
< 5
Step 6
Repair wiring harness
->End
6 Check control signal from instrument cluster to rear relay carrier
  • Switch on ignition
  • Actuate "Retract spoiler" button and at the same time measure the voltage between relay socket pin 7 and ground
Spoiler button actuated
Battery positive voltage
Step 7
Step 10
7 Replace relay No. 9
  • Switch off ignition
  • Replace relay No. 9 on rear relay carrier
  • Switch on ignition
  • Actuate "Retract spoiler" button
Spoiler retracts
->End
Step 8
8 Check relay No. 3 ground lead
  • Pull off relay No. 3 on rear relay carrier
  • Measure resistance between relay socket No.3, pin 4 and ground
< 5
Step 9
Repair wiring harness
->End
9 Check relay No. 3
  • Jumper pin 4 and pin 3 on relay No. 3
  • Relay No. 9 is plugged in
  • Actuate spoiler "Retract spoiler" button
Spoiler retracts
Step 16
Step 12
10 Check wire between instrument cluster and relay No. 9 for short to ground
  • Switch off ignition
  • Remove plug A from the instrument cluster
  • Measure resistance between relay socket pin 7 and ground
Step 11 Repair wiring harness
->End
11 Check wire between instrument cluster and relay No. 9 for open circuit
  • Measure resistance between relay socket pin 7 and plug A on the instrument cluster pin 23
< 5
Step 19
Repair wiring harness
->End
12 Check power supply of the spoiler drive
  • Switch off ignition
  • Disconnect plug from the spoiler drive
  • Insert both relays
  • Switch on ignition
  • Actuate "Retract spoiler" button and at the same time measure the voltage between plug on spoiler drive pin 2 and ground
  • Actuate "Extend spoiler" button and at the same time measure the voltage between plug of spoiler drive between pin 1 and pin 2
Battery positive voltage
Step 16
Check wiring between spoiler drive and relay No. 3 and relay No. 9.
13 Check micro switches
  • Disconnect plug connection X 23
  • Remove micro switches
  • Actuate top micro switch by hand and at the same time measure the resistance on the plug of the micro switch (pin side) between pin 2 and pin 5
  • Actuate bottom micro switch by hand and at the same time measure the resistance on the plug of the micro switch (pin side) between pin 4 and pin 5
< 5
Step 14
Step 15
14 Check ground lead between ground point 8 and micro switch for open circuit
  • Measure resistance between plug connection X 23 pin 5 (sleeve side) and ground
< 5
Step 18
Repair wiring harness
->End
15
  • Replace micro switch and repeat the function check. If not OK, check wiring to instrument cluster.
->End
16
  • Replace relay No. 9 on rear relay carrier
->End
17
  • Replace spoiler drive
->End
18
  • Check wiring from plug connection X 23 to instrument cluster
->End
19
  • Replace instrument cluster
