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.

 

Required tools

Tools:
  • 9900 – PIWIS Tester 3 with PIWIS Tester software version 38.100.050 (or higher) installed.
  • The user must be logged in to PPN and the tester must be online to complete this campaign.
  • Battery Charger/Power Supply – Suitable for AGM Type batteries, recommended current rating of 70A fixed voltage 13.5V to 14.5V.
