2005 Mitchell Repair Information Company, LLC.

The fault memory of the control module can save up to (X) different faults simultaneously. If all (X) fault
memories are full, the new fault overwrites the oldest fault. The fault memory content of the 'transfer box
control module' is maintained even in removed state.
Fault code setting conditions
Fault codes can be set in various 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 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 try to reach conclusions about eliminating any loose contacts
in the system.
Diagnostic conditions
IMPORTANT: Always connect a suitable battery charging device to the vehicle electrical
system battery before starting diagnosis. All unnecessary loads must also be
switched off.
NOTE:
The fault can only be identified if the requirements listed under 'Diagnostic
conditions' are met. For this reason, the specified procedure must be observed
after a fault is repaired:
1. Erase fault memory

2. Satisfy the requirements listed under 'Diagnostic conditions'.
3. Read out fault memory again.
Possible causes of fault

NOTE:
The 'possible causes of fault' that are responsible for the fault are listed here.
Please note that in certain circumstances further faults can be stored in the
fault memory after troubleshooting (e.g. if plugs are disconnected). After
carrying out repairs, read out the fault memory of all control modules and erase
any faults.
Diagnosis/troubleshooting
NOTE:
The fault memory Info key [F8]on the Porsche System Tester II No. 9588 can be
used to access the 'extended fault memory'. The following information can be
displayed:
Fault type
The following fault types are possible:
no display

NOTE:
Visual inspection: During troubleshooting, please check first that the affected
pins on the control module plug connection are neither damaged nor corroded.
The wires and plugs of the affected components must also be checked for
external damage and correct contacts. Repair damaged or corroded pins if
possible, otherwise replace affected pins. Repair or replace damaged wires.
NOTE:
Battery voltage: A battery voltage of between 11.4 and 14.5 V is required for
troubleshooting. This must be checked and provided if necessary. Voltages to
components or fuses (input side) must be guaranteed on the vehicle electrical
system.
Freeze frame (frozen fault boundary conditions)
Freeze frame data is standardised and records operating conditions in the event of a fault. Freeze frames have
different priorities, which can be important when output to a Scan Tool. These can be viewed in the "extended
fault memory" of the Porsche System Tester II No. 9588.
Furthermore, various operating conditions can be stored for each fault. These can provide reference points for
determining the cause of a fault in the case of difficult diagnoses. These can be viewed in the "extended fault
memory" of the Porsche System Tester II No. 9588.
Fault deletion counter
An individual deletion counter runs for every fault detected. It determines the storage duration of the related
fault.
When a fault is first detected, the deletion counter is set to 80, for example (suspected fault).
If an unshedded fault is detected as having been remedied, the deletion counter is set to 10, for example (fault
did not occur often enough to be confirmed).
Whenever a shedded fault is detected, the deletion counter is set to 40, for example. This value is retained until
the fault is detected as having been remedied.
The deletion counter is decremented by 1 after every warm-up cycle if the fault in question is an unshedded
fault or is detected as having been remedied (faults that are confirmed, but are not detected as having been
remedied are not decremented in the deletion counter). If the deletion counter reaches the value 0, the fault is
deleted from the memory.
Fault frequency counter
This counter shows how often a fault has recurred following its first occurrence. If the frequency value is 1, the
fault has only occurred once. It can now be either "present" or "not present". The fault frequency counter is
incremented whenever this fault recurs (the fault healing counter was decremented in the meantime, i.e. a check
was performed and found to be OK). A higher value in the fault frequency counter can therefore indicate a loose
contact.

TOOLS - TRANSFER BOX

WARNING: Danger of personal injury while driving with special tools
NOTE:
Never hang the Porsche System Tester II No. 9588 over the steering
wheel!
Before starting the diagnosis a suitable charging device must be

connected to maintain battery capacity.
Plug contacts are optimally designed to suit the plug system. Operations
on pins can cause contact problems. Always use suitable measurement
tools for adapter plugs and test cables.

DATA TRANSFER
The transfer box control module sends and receives data/information via the following 'CAN data bus':
CAN drive (C)

Gateway (in instrument cluster)
DIAGNOSIS
Fault memory
Faults that occur during operation are stored in a non-volatile memory (e.g. EEPROM). The faults remain in the
memory even if terminal 15 and terminal 30 are not live. The fault memory is designed in such a way that the
occurring faults, data source, fault type and fault deletion counter can be saved. The transfer box control module
sends messages and checks the CAN drive cyclically for messages from other control modules. If no messages
are received for a certain time period, a fault is stored in the fault memory.
ADAPTATION
Work to be carried out after replacing a control module:
Delete the adaptation values using the Porsche System Tester II No. 9588
