Calibrating convertible top: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2005 Porsche 911, 2004 Porsche 911, 2003 Porsche 911, 2002 Porsche 911, and 2001 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Calibration of the Cabriolet convertible top and the convertible top compartment lid is carried out with the Porsche System Tester 2 diagnosis. The respective potentiometer values (convertible top and convertible top compartment lid) are established during calibration. If the potentiometer values are plausible, the values are stored. The calibration values can then be calculated as a percentage by the convertible top control module from the potentiometer values.

The following preconditions must be met in order to enable successful calibration.

  1. The convertible-top latch must be repaired (after an emergency operation).

    Refer to CONVERTIBLE TOP REPAIR - AFTER EMERGENCY OPERATION .

  2. The convertible-top compartment lid drive must be repaired (after an emergency operation).

    Refer to CONVERTIBLE TOP REPAIR - AFTER EMERGENCY OPERATION .

  3. The valve screw of the hydraulic pump must be closed.
  4. The parking brake must be engaged.
  5. The engine compartment lid must be closed.
  6. The potentiometer values of the convertible top and the convertible top compartment lid lie between the nominal values specified.

    See NOMINAL VALUES  . Read out fault memory if necessary and proceed according to FAULT MEMORY - UP TO MODEL YEAR 2002  .

  7. The upper microswitches of the left and right rear side section flaps are actuated when the opened convertible top is set down.

  8. The lower microswitches of the left and right rear side section flaps are actuated when the convertible top is closed. See Input signals in the Tester: Bitmap position (left side flap down or right side flap down).

    Read out fault memory if necessary and proceed according to FAULT MEMORY - UP TO MODEL YEAR 2002  .

  9. The convertible top compartment lid microswitch must be unlocked when the convertible top compartment lid is open. See Input signals in the Tester: Bit map position (convertible top compartment lid unlocked).

    The microswitch must be locked when the convertible top compartment lid is closed. See Input signals in the Tester: Bit map position (convertible top compartment lid locked). Read out fault memory if necessary and proceed according to Serv. No. 61 00 Diagnosis/troubleshooting convertible top.
