AKA1 – Re-programming Instrument Cluster (Stop Delivery/Recall Campaign)
| Important: | CRITICAL WARNING – This campaign includes steps where control unit(s) in the vehicle will be programmed with the PIWIS Tester. The vehicle voltage must be maintained between 13.5 volts and 14.5 volts during this programming. Failure to maintain this voltage could result in damaged control unit(s). Damage caused by inadequate voltage during programming is not a warrantable defect. The technician must verify the actual vehicle voltage in the PIWIS Tester before starting the campaign and also document the actual voltage on the repair order. |
| Model Year: | As of 2017 |
| Vehicle Type: | Panamera (971) |
| Subject: | Instrument cluster |
| Information: | Due to an allocation error in the instrument cluster software, there is no link between the brake-pad wear indicator and general brake warning light on the affected vehicles.
As a result, only the yellow warning message “Brake pad worn”, which can be acknowledged, will be displayed in the multi-function display on the instrument cluster when a brake pad is worn. There is no additional continuous warning using the brake warning light. |
| Remedial Action: | Re-program the instrument cluster.
Information During the campaign, the instrument cluster is re-programmed and then coded automatically. It can take up to 90 minutes, as per the tester, but on average takes around 60 minutes. |
| Affected Vehicles: | Only the vehicles assigned to the campaign (see also PIWIS Vehicle information). This campaigns affects 14,011 vehicles in North America. |

AKA1 – Re-programming Instrument Cluster (Stop Delivery/Recall Campaign)
Important: CRITICAL WARNING – This campaign includes steps where control unit(s) in the vehicle will be
programmed with the PIWIS Tester. The vehicle voltage must be maintained between 13.5 volts and 14.5
volts during this programming. Failure to maintain this voltage could result in damaged control unit(s).
Damage caused by inadequate voltage during programming is not a warrantable defect. The technician
must verify the actual vehicle voltage in the PIWIS Tester before starting the campaign and also document
the actual voltage on the repair order.
Model Year: As of 2017
Vehicle Type: Panamera (971)
Subject: Instrument cluster
Information: Due to an allocation error in the instrument cluster software, there is no link between the
brake-pad wear indicator and general brake warning light on the affected vehicles.
As a result, only the yellow warning message “Brake pad worn”, which can be acknowledged, will be
displayed in the multi-function display on the instrument cluster when a brake pad is worn. There is no
additional continuous warning using the brake warning light.
Remedial
Action:
Re-program the instrument cluster.
Information
During the campaign, the instrument cluster is re-programmed and then coded automatically.
It can take up to 90minutes, as per the tester, but on average takes around 60 minutes.

Technical Information
Preparatory work
Work Procedure: 1 Carry out general preliminary work for control unit programming as described in Workshop
Manual ‘9X00IN Basic instructions and procedure for control unit programming using the PIWIS
Tester’.
Re-programming instrument cluster
NOTICE
Fault entry in the faultmemory 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 ormore fault entries and the abnormal termination of the programming process.
Before starting control unit programming, connect a suitable battery charger with a current rating of at
least 90 A to the vehicle.
NOTICE
Control unit programming will be aborted if theWLAN connection is unstable.
• An unstableWiFi connection can interrupt communication between the PIWIS Tester and the vehicle
communicationmodule (VCI). As a result, control unit programming may be aborted.
During control unit programming, always connect the PIWIS Tester to the vehicle communicationmodule
(VCI) via the USB cable.
NOTICE
Control unit programming will be aborted if the driver’s key is not recognized
• If the driver’s key is not recognized in the vehicle, programming cannot be started or will be interrupted.
Place the driver’s key with the back facing down into the front left storage compartment in the center
console to guarantee a continuous radio link between the vehicle and the driver’s key.
Work Procedure: 1 Re-programthe instrument cluster.
The basic procedure for control unit programming is described in the Workshop Manual
Workshop Manual ‘9X00IN Basic instructions and procedure for control unit programming using the
PIWIS Tester’.
Information
The procedure described here is based on the PIWIS Tester 3 software version 38.100.050.
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.

Concluding work
Information
The values for the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system may be lost during re-coding of the instrument
cluster.
If the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system is reset, the wheel electronics must be re-taught and
adapted to the system.
Preconditions and procedure for teaching the wheel electronics units:
• Vehicle is stationary for at least 5 minutes.
• Select the type of tires fitted (type and size) in the TPM menu in the instrument cluster. The message
“No monitoring. System is learning from 15 mph (25 km/h)” then appears in the multi-function
display.
• Drive at a speed of more than 15 mph (25 km/h) – ideally without stopping – until the tire pressure
values are displayed (learning time: less than 2 minutes).
The system learns the wheel electronics only while driving. Intermediate stops and deviations from the
described teaching procedure can result in a much longer learning time.
Teaching can be performed during the test drive or later while the customer is driving. Please inform your
customer about this if necessary.
Work Procedure: 1 Carry out general subsequent work for control unit programming as described under Workshop
Manual ‘9X00IN Basic instructions and procedure for control unit programming using the PIWIS
Tester’.
