Information

Information on PDK calibration and engine torque loss adaptation

Engine torque loss adaptation

Engine torque loss adaptation must always be performed before calibrating PDK. Engine torque loss adaptation is also required after carrying out

control unit programming (DME/PDK - with or without part replacement).

Conditions/procedure for engine torque loss adaptation:

^ Engine temperature is at least 176°F. (80°C.) (read out the temperature from the PDK control unit by selecting "Actual values/Input signals" >

"CAN input signals - Engine temperature").

^ All loads switched off.

^ PDK selector lever in position P.

^ Allow engine to run at idle speed for 3 minutes with air conditioning switched off.

^ Then allow engine to run at idle speed for 3 minutes with air conditioning switched on.

^ Switch off ignition and wait 15 seconds (adaptation values are stored).

PDK calibration

Essentially, PDK calibration is required only after replacing parts (of the PDK control unit, hydraulic switch unit, PDK transmission) or if you are

expressly instructed to do so during troubleshooting.

PDK calibration can be started by selecting the PDK control unit under > "Maintenance/repairs" >> "Calibration (complete process)" using PIWIS Tester II. Shift travel, hydraulics and clutches are calibrated during calibration. It is not possible to perform a "minor" calibration routine

("Calibration without previous part replacement") -which you may be familiar with from the Boxster, Cayman and Carrera sports cars - on the

Panamera.

Engine torque loss adaptation must always be performed before carrying out calibration.

The preconditions for engine torque loss adaptation and PDK calibration are summarized again in the overview above.

Work Procedure 1

Procedure and repair measures in the event of fault entries in the fault memory of the PDK control unit

Work Procedure:

1      Procedure and repair measures in the event of fault entries in the fault memory of the PDK control unit.

The required procedure for correcting faults for the groups of fault memory entries listed below is described using flow charts.

A separate flow chart is used for each of the fault groups specified below.

Information

You will find the flow charts under the heading "3730 - Flow charts of PDK fault codes (970)" in the information medium TI - Technical Information releases, main group 3 - Transmission.

In addition to the flow charts, Guided Fault Finding in PIWIS Tester II must always be used during troubleshooting for existing fault memory entries. In some cases, you are directed to the required guided fault finding from the flow charts. The procedure for required electric testing is stored only under Guided Fault Finding in PIWIS Tester II.

Sequence for correcting faults if various fault entries from various fault groups are present:

1) Electrical faults

2) Sensor faults/software faults

3) Gear selection faults

Fault correction for complaints relating to comfort and noise must only be carried out after the faults listed above (if present) have been found and corrected.

Repair measures in the event of leaks on the PDK transmission

Information

General information on how to deal with leaks on the PDK transmission

The exact site of the leak must be determined in order to be able to define the required repair measures. If this is not possible at first, carry out the following steps one after the other:

-    Clean the transmission

-    Perform a test drive

-    Check the transmission for leaks and find the leak.

Once you have found the leak, carry out the required repair measures in accordance with the following overview.

Once you have repaired the leak, always check the transmission fluid level and correct it if necessary --> 370235 Checking and topping up ATF.
