General Information on the Fault Memory
General Information On The Fault Memory
The fault memory of the control module can save up to (X) different faults simultaneously. If all (X) fault memories are occupied, the new fault
overwrites the oldest fault. The fault memory content of the 'vehicle electrical system control module' is maintained even in removed state.
Fault Code Setting Conditions
Fault code setting conditions
Fault codes can be set in several circumstances, e.g.:
-
battery disconnected
-
plug connections disconnected
-
faulty coding
-
power failure
-
etc.
In these circumstances, no fault is present in the system and the fault memory must be erased.
Troubleshooting Procedure
Troubleshooting Procedure
Troubleshooting can only be performed when the fault is present. In other words, specific troubleshooting can only be performed in accordance with
instructions (given under Diagnosis/troubleshooting for each fault code) if the entry has the status 'present' in the fault memory.
If the fault is currently 'not present', please check the following:
-
Diagnostic conditions are met
-
All plug connections and ground points of the affected current path are OK.
-
View the fault frequency counter in the Porsche System Tester II No. 9588 using the fault memory Info key F8 under 'Extended fault memory' and
