Information 

These symptom-based repair instructions replace the instructions dated September 22, 2017.

Changes/additions' 

Only modified transfer gears with GNC-coated plates are supplied from now on. 

=> In the event of spare parts requirements for the control unit  (contained in the servo motor),  the existing type of transfer gear (with or without GNC-coated plates)  must be checked and the part number of the control unit must be selected accordingly. 

=> A transfer gear with GNC-coated plates  is identified by the PR number "l'J2". 

=> For more information, see also "Spare parts requirements" and "Software". 

Information 

Currently, a high percentage of warranty returned transfer cases  are evaluated as "OK" during testing by the supplier. 

For this reason, the two previous symptom-based repair instructions  are being replaced by these symptom-based repair instructions:

  1. => "Eliminating noise symptoms - Re-programming control unit for all-wheel drive (Creaking noise from around the transfer case/SY0416) - => only relevant for vehicles from model year 2015 to 2016  and
  2. => "Eliminating symptoms - Engine: Replacing transfer case (Rough-running engine, vehicle jerks under load/SY2516) in Repair Group 39 - Final drive.

    Information 

    The "transfer case" is designed as an active all-wheel drive system that is dynamically adapted to the respective driving state.

    Power transmission  between the front and rear axle is controlled electronically via the "all-wheel drive servo motor (transfer case)"  and the multi-plate clutches integrated in the transfer case. 

    => On all-wheel drive vehicles, the drive train can become strained  at low speeds and when 'he steering is turned sharply when "Off-road mode" is activated, depending on design. 

    • Under extreme conditions,  the drive train can also become strained when "Off-road mode" is deactivated. 
    • Customers  with little experience with all-wheel drive vehicles can interpret this behavior as a fault,  which n turn can result in incorrect diagnoses  in the workshop.

Information 

The customer complaint about a clicking noise (from the servo motor) can only occur on vehicles: 

Subject: 

All-wheel drive servo motor  (transfer gear)

Symptom 

Clicking noises can come from around the transfer gear  when driving slowly  or when manoeuvring  in a yard or car park.

Cause: 

Clicking noises can come from around the transfer gear when manoeuvring the vehicle (or driving slowly) due to activation of the transfer gear servo motor.

Remedial Action: 

Before doing any other work,  the symptom must be simulated using a test procedure: 

(Opening the door windows can be helpful when evaluating noises).

  1. Conditions for this test procedure: 
    • Activate the Start/Stop function  and
    • deactivate  all sources of noise  in the vehicle (Entertainment, ventilation, etc.).
    • A multi-storey car park can be useful for acoustic reverberation.
  2. Procedure: 
    • On a straight stretch 
    • from speeds less than 20 km/h  (10 mph)
    • brake the vehicle to a standstill.
    • The best way of finding the clicking noise is by driving slowly and then stopping the vehicle.

    =>  In the event of a distinct customer complaint, the clicking noise can already be heard on a straight stretch with partial load accelerations.

    =>  To correct the problem, re-program the all-wheel drive control unit,  see 'Procedure'  section below (Link to Procedure module must still be added!).

    The measure is complete  after programming the all-wheel drive control unit.

    Information 

    The procedure described here is based on the PIWIS Tester III software version 35.800. 

    The PIWIS Tester instructions take precedence and in the event of a discrepancy, these are the instructions that must be followed.

    A discrepancy may arise with later software versions for example.

    Information 

    The description below contains the text 'With regard to 2';  'Symptom 2',  etc.

    =>  However, 'With regard to 1';  'Symptom 1',  etc. is relevant only for model veirs 2..15 and 2016. 

    => The description for '1' is not relevant for other model years. 

    With regard to 2: 

    Hang-on transfer gear =>  see "Symptom 2" below 

    Symptom 2: 

    Symptoms to be checked: 

    • Rough-running engine or
    • the vehicle vibrates or
    • the engine jerks under load.

    Information 

    Generally, the vehicle can start Jerking when driving in tight corners with a small radius and when Off-road mode is activated.

    This behavior is perfectly normal for all-wheel drive vehicles and is not a defect on the vehicle.

    NOTE: NOTIFICATION 
    Driving with connectors on chassis components or control units disconnected. 
    • Bearings in transfer case can be damaged. 

      → Drive vehicle only at a maximum speed of 30 mph (50 km/h).

      → Do not drive vehicle in the upper load range or at full throttle.

      → During Diagnosis of a vibration, a defective front axle shaft can cause a vibration and is masked when the Transfer case is disconnected as torque is no longer applied to the front drive system in the same manner.

  1. Carry out the test procedure under the following conditions: 
    • On a straight stretch 
    • from speeds less than 20 km/h  (10 mph)
    • accelerate the vehicle in the partial load range.

    During this test procedure, if:

    • jerking can be felt,  the test procedure under See  (below) must also be carried out in order to determine the exact cause.
    • no jerking is felt,  see the information below about normal vehicle behavior:

    Information 

    Generally, the vehicle can start jerking when driving in tight corners with a small radius and when Off-road mode is activated.

    This behavior is perfectly normal for all-wheel drive vehicles and is not a defect on the vehicle.

    Information 

    Generally, the vehicle can start jerking when driving in tight corners with a small radius and when Off-road mode is activated.

    This behavior is perfectly normal for all-wheel drive vehicles and is not a defect on the vehicle.

  2. Depending on equipment:
    • with PTV PLUS  (controlled rear-differential lock) - I-no. 1Y1 => continue with See 
    • without front/rear differential lock - I-no. 1Y0 => continue with 3.1 
    1. 2.1  Disconnect connector on the rear-differential lock control unit, see > 397519 REMOVING AND INSTALLING CONTROL UNIT FOR REAR-DIFFERENTIAL LOCK 
    2. 2.2  Carry out the test procedure under the following conditions, see See  :

      =>  Disconnecting the connector should prevent the vehicle from jerking due to a higher rear-differential lock locking value:

      =>  If the problem occurs,  continue with 2.3.

      => If the problem no longer occurs,  the rear final drive must be replaced,  see > 398819 REMOVING AND INSTALLING ALL-WHEEL FINAL DRIVE  and

    3. 2.3  Re-connect connector on the rear-differential lock control unit, see > 397519 REMOVING AND INSTALLING CONTROL UNIT FOR REAR-DIFFERENTIAL LOCK 
  3. If jerking is felt during the test procedure under step See  , the following test procedure must still be carried out,  see See  to See:
    1. 3.1 Disconnect connector  on center differential lock  (plug connection on transfer gear servo motor).

      Connector on rear-differential lock control unit must be inserted.

    2. 3.2  Carry out the test procedure under the following conditions:
      • On a straight stretch 
      • from speeds less than 20 km/h  (10 mph)
      • accelerate the vehicle in the partial load range.

      => If the problem occurs, the transfer gear or rear final drive must be ruled out as the cause. 

      => Avoid replacing these components. 

      => If the problem no longer occurs, the hang-on transfer gear must be replaced,  see > 396519 REMOVING AND INSTALLING TRANSFER GEAR 

    3. 3.3  Re-connect connector on center differential lock.

      End  of action required.

      NOTE: NOTIFICATION 
      The following software update via 'Programming Code' may not be used on vehicles before model year 2015. 
      • Malfunctions in the system 

        → Use the software update via "programming code" only for model year 2015 to 2016 vehicles.

      • > 9900 - PIWIS Tester 3 with PIWIS Tester software version 35.800  (or higher) installed
      • Battery charger with a current rating of at least 90 A,  e.g. > VAS 5908 - VAS 5908 battery charger 90A
      NOTE: NOTIFICATION 
      Fault entry in the fault memory and control unit programming aborted due to low voltage. 
      • Increased current draw during diagnosis or control unit programming can cause a drop in voltage, which can result in one or more fault entries and the abnormal termination of the programming process. 

        → Before starting control unit programming, connect a battery charger or power supply, suitable for AGM type batteries, recommended current rating of 90A fixed voltage 13.5V to 14.5V.

      NOTE: NOTIFICATION 
      Control unit programming will be aborted if the Internet connection is unstable. 
      • An unstable Internet connection can interrupt communication between PIWIS Tester and the vehicle communication module (VCI). As a result, control unit programming may be aborted. 

        → During control unit programming, always connect PIWIS Tester to the vehicle communication module (VCI)

        → via the USB cable.

      NOTE: NOTIFICATION 
      Control unit programming will be aborted if the vehicle key is not recognized 
      • If the vehicle key is not recognized in vehicles with Porsche Entry & Drive, programming cannot be started or will be interrupted. 

        → Switch on the ignition using the original vehicle key. To do this, replace the original vehicle key in the ignition lock with the plastic key fob if it was previously removed at the start of this procedure.

Work Procedure: 

  1. Preliminary work 

    Carry out general preliminary work for control unit programming as described in

    > WM 9X00IN BASIC INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEDURE FOR CONTROL UNIT PROGRAMMING USING THE PIWIS TESTER (CAYENNE, CAYENNE GTS & CAYENNE TURBO S) - section on "Preliminary work"

  2. Re-program all-wheel drive control unit. 

    The basic procedure for programming a control unit is described in the Workshop Manual

    > WM 9X00IN BASIC INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEDURE FOR CONTROL UNIT PROGRAMMING USING THE PIWIS TESTER (CAYENNE, CAYENNE GTS & CAYENNE TURBO S) - section on "Programming"

    Fire specific information on control unit programming during this campaign, see table below. 

    Required PIWIS Tester software version: 35.800 (or higher)
    Type of control unit programming: Control unit programming using the "Campaign" function in the Additional 
    menu  on the PIWIS Tester by entering a programming code.
    Programming code: G5N7B 
    Programming sequence: Read and follow the information and instructions on the PIWIS Tester  during the guided programming sequence.
    The fault memory is first deleted during the programming sequence. If the message appears informing you that certain fault memory entries could not be deleted, acknowledge the message by pressing >> and start control unit programming. During programming, the all-wheel drive control unit  will be re-programmed  and then re-codedautomatically. 
    Do not interrupt programming and coding. 
    Once the control units have been programmed and coded, the PIWIS Tester will prompt you to switch the ignition off and then back on again after a waiting time of approx. 10 seconds. 
    Programming time (approx): 2 minutes 
    Data record programmed during this campaign (software  part number): 0C2.927.xxx.S 
    Following control unit programming, the Porsche part number can be read out of the 'All-wheel drive' control unit in the => 'Extended identification'  menu using the PIWIS Tester.
