1.2 Objective

1.2.1 Reasons for the introduction of PIWIS Tester III

“ Ever increasing vehicle complexity and the number of system features.

“ The revised diagnostic software is the sole property of Porsche and is protected
by copyright law, which results in a certain level of dependence when procuring
the corresponding hardware.
“ The Microsoft Windows XP operating system is no longer up-to-date and no support
or updates will be provided for from 2016 at the latest. This means that the tester
would no longer be protected against external attacks.
“ Increased safety requirements for the systems in the vehicle (e.g. engine immobiliser
and enhanced component protection) and the software in the tester.
“ Complete integration of PIWIS/PQIS.
“ Increased service performance in the dealer organisation in terms of providing
solutions to problems, diagnostics and creating documents in the workplace.

3.4 Docking station

PT3 docking station 9_09_16

The docking station has been completely redesigned and adapted to suit the PT3.
It has one network connection, 2 x USB 3.0, 1 VGA output port and a HDMI connection.

It is supplied - packaged separately - with every tester.

Each docking station comes with a drilling template made of paper for the upper support
plate on the PIWIS Tester trolley.

For the PT3, a new assembly plate on the PIWIS trolley is required for fitting the docking
station on the PIWIS trolley. This assembly plate can be ordered separately from Special
Tools and can be changed on the tester trolley. The docking station can then be secured to
the new plate using 2 M 4-mm screws. The thread on the docking station is a ‚blind hole‛
with a thread depth of 8 mm.

The mains connection is no longer accessible when the PT3 is docked, depending
on the design, which means that power must be supplied via the docking station.

The previous information window on the tester screen prompting you to indicate
whether you want to use the docking station now (by selecting either Yes or No)
is no longer displayed.

CHAPTER1

PIWIS Tester III (PT3)

The docking station contains a network card, which must be activated as required in
the tester when docking the PT3. For this purpose, the user can select the network
card manually or confirm a box for automatic detection of the network card.

To start a diagnostic session with the vehicle, a connection must be established between
the VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) and the vehicle. This can be done either using
the supplied VCI-tester connecting cable or via WLAN. The VCI hardware adapts
automatically to the PT3 via the cable. If the VCI is to be operated using WLAN, the VCI
must first be configured using the supplied VCI base station and the WLAN adapter with
the cable must be replaced on the VCI. The procedure for configuring the VCI with the
tester is described under ‚System - VCI configuration‛.

Measuring system start page 9_33_16

The software for operating the measuring system interface is integrated in PT3.
The measuring system is used to determine and display electrical parameters on
vehicles with a supply voltage of between 12 V and 24 V. The test box (hardware)
is a mobile device and must be connected to the PT3 using a USB A/B connection.
The test box also needs an external power supply via the supplied power supply unit.

Once the test box is connected and the application is started, on-board diagnosis of
the system is performed. The measuring device itself contains 4 separately operating
test channels, which are used for current, voltage and resistance measurement and
for diode and continuity tests. The 4 channels are electrically isolated, insulated and
can be configured independently of each other.

In combination with the measuring system software, the measuring system interface
can be operated as a multimeter or a 4-channel oscilloscope. The digital, high-resolution
4-channel memory oscilloscope is used for recording signals and is designed specifically
for use in the motor vehicle industry. It has a new operator guidance feature, which makes
it much easier to use the oscilloscope and guides the user reliably to the required place.
It supports all Porsche vehicle types, their derivatives and all electronic components.
The oscilloscope can show all types of signals and bus systems.

7.2.3 Clamp-on ammeters

Clamp-on ammeter < 100 A 9_38_16 Clamp-on ammeter < 1,800 A 9_39_16

The 100-amp and 1,800-amp clamp-on ammeters consist of a 7-pin male connector,
the cable and the actual clamp-on ammeter. The 100-amp clamp-on ammeter with the
yellow colour code is used for measuring small currents, e.g. a closed-circuit current.
The measuring range is from 1 mA ” 100 A. The clamp-on ammeter with the orange
colour code is used for measuring large currents, e.g. starter current/charging current.
The measuring range of this clamp-on ammeter is from 1 A ” 1,800 A.

The clamp-on ammeters can be opened and fitted around the cable on which the current
is to be measured. The result of the measurement depends on the direction. To avoid
errors, a measurement cannot be taken while the clamp is open.

7.2.4 Clamp-on ammeter calibration

for this are material expansion, changes in temperature/moisture level, but in particular,
residual magnetism (remanence), which falsify the measurement result.

Calibration is started and performed automatically by the operator software.

Closed 9_40_16 For this purpose, the clamp-on ammeter must remain closed during the first few seconds.
The clamp-on ammeter must then be opened and closed again as instructed by the tester
software. This is shown on the PT3 screen.

If this calibration process is cancelled, measurements can be taken while bearing in
mind that the clamp-on ammeters are not calibrated and the measurement result is
therefore unacceptable. The clamp-on ammeters issue an acoustic signal (buzzing)
while they are being calibrated.

If an order was created in the Porsche Partner Network (PPN) and data transfer
was started, the vehicle analysis log (VAL) is allocated to the vehicle order with the
corresponding chassis number. The VAL then appears in the vehicle order under ‚Job

8.4 Remote access (Remote Support)

The ‚Remote access‛ function is available as before under ‚Tools‛ on the PT3.
The ‚Remote access‛ (Remote Support) function allows the importer/dealer support
team, in particular, to access a PT3 and operate the tester remotely from another
location. In order to do this, both parties - the importer’s PC (used to provide support)
and the dealer’s PT3 (used to get support) - must be connected to an active Internet
connection (LAN/WLAN). Pressing the ‚Remote access‛ application button on the PT3
used to get support starts a ‚Support Helper‛ there and generates an ID (Your ID) and
a password. The ID and password are provided to the support team over the phone
and the connection can be established as soon as these are entered.

Remote Support is basically used to provide support for the dealer organisation and
thus ensures effective market support for dealing with complicated technical issues.
However, Remote Support is always provided on the instruction of the importer.

9.1 VCI configuration

The VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) hardware is now a compact, slim component.
The diagnostic connector is connected permanently to the electronics. There is no
longer a lead between the connector and hardware. The connection parameters to
the VCI can be set via the configuration software. The VCI is always connected to the
vehicle during a diagnostic session (even if the tester is connected via WLAN). The VCI
itself always needs an external power supply (either the vehicle or VCI docking station)
because it does not have its own battery. At the very beginning, the PT3 and VCI must
be configured together (pairing). This involves writing the serial number of the VCI into
the tester and writing the serial number of the tester into the VCI. One PT3 can only
9_95_16
be paired with one VCI.

9.1.1 Pairing

To perform pairing correctly, the PT3 and VCI must be connected using the Y-shaped USB
cable supplied in the white case. Then open the ‚General‛ tab under ‚VCI configuration‛.
After a waiting time of 90 ” 120 seconds with the devices connected, the ‚Perform
pairing now‛ button on the tester interface turns black and can be activated. When
‚pairing‛ is finished, the serial numbers of the VCI and PT3 are exchanged and stored.
To confirm the ‚pairing‛, a green confirmation tick appears on the PT3 screen and
the LEDs on the VCI turn green and light up continuously. The warning buzzer in the VCI
comes on automatically and is preset to a time of 45 minutes. The warning buzzer and
activation time can be changed or deactivated.

CHAPTER1

PIWIS Tester III (PT3)

The warning buzzer in the VCI activates an acoustic signal as soon as the activation
time that was set has expired and no communication takes place between the PT3
and VCI. This can be useful if a VCI was inadvertently left in the diagnostic socket on
the vehicle. The warning buzzer can only be triggered when the VCI is inserted in the
diagnostic socket.

The equipment trolley (VAS 6950), which was used previously for the PT2G, can still
be used. However, the top support plate on the equipment trolley must be replaced
so that the new PT3 docking station can be fitted. Users can order a new retrofit kit
developed for this purpose when the PT3 is launched. This contains two new plates,
which can be fitted on the existing equipment trolley. The height of the new plates
can be adjusted to various positions as required and the plates can then be fitted.

If all systems installed in the vehicle are to be selected, the search can be started
directly using the F12 button. If only specific systems are to be selected, the appropriate
pre-selection must be made at this point. The search for the selected systems is then
also started using the F12 button.

Since it is absolutely necessary in the case of work covered under warranty or when
opening a PQIS job to have created a vehicle analysis log, the user must now consciously
decide whether or not to create one. The F12 button is used if a vehicle analysis log is to
be created. The F11 button is pressed if the user consciously decides not to create a log.

Once the search has been started, it takes some time to complete depending on the
type of search and the number of diagnosable control units installed. The full contents
of the display can be viewed by scrolling down using the scroll bar on the right.

If there is an icon displayed in the DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) column, this indicates
that there is a fault stored in the control unit’s memory.

11.2.1 Actual values/input signals

The ‚Actual values/input signals‛ menu item can be used to display current control
unit data on the PT3. This can be helpful if a complaint from a customer cannot be
confirmed using a fault memory entry or if a fault memory entry is stored in engine
speed, load or temperature ranges that seem implausible.

So-called actual values are values that are present in the control unit as sensor signals a working log that has not been saved!
and are converted into the corresponding value (that is displayed) by the control unit’s
computer and are available to the respective maps.

Input signals, on the other hand, are signals from actuators (switches, potentiometers,
switching valves, etc.) that are activated by the control unit’s driver and can change their
status. This change in status results in a signal change that is output to the tester by the
control unit and can be interpreted accordingly. Control units give the option of displaying
a large number of actual values. PT3 carries out pre-filtering in these cases. For the DME
control units, for example, groups are created for different subjects such as general
or load detection. The PT3 also includes an option for generating user-specific filters.

11.2.4 Drive links/checks

The drive link test allows selected components and actuators to be activated via PT3
and their function tested. The driver of the respective control unit sends a signal to the
appropriate actuator. The function can be checked either acoustically or visually when
the electric circuit between the control unit and actuator is closed via the driver. The
‚Drive links/checks‛ function group can be selected in the menu bar after the control
units are selected. There are major differences compared with PIWIS Tester II when it
comes to activating the drive links. A value is displayed in the status bar for activating
the drive links; this value can be changed using the scroll bar. 100% corresponds to the All previously configured settings are

the corresponding relay and activates the component. Once the value has been set to
100%, the function is started using the F8 button. The drive link is activated when the
electric circuit closes. An acoustic check can take place.

The function is terminated by setting the value 0% in the status bar and starting
the function using the F8 button. The minus sign above the control unit’s driver is
disabled again.

73
PIWIS Tester III (PT3)
Together with the actual drive link test, there is now also an option available for displaying
relevant actual values at the same time.

To select the actual values, the F5 button (Measured values) must be pressed after
the drive link is selected. All actual values or the respective selection blocks from the
actual values then appear for selection. These can be added as required, depending
on how relevant they are for the drive-link diagnosis.

11.2.5 Maintenance/repairs

Numerous tester-guided functions can be executed in a predefined sequence under

‚Maintenance/repairs‛. The individual processes are allocated as required in the respective
control units. For example, the ‚Replace battery‛ process is carried out in the gateway
control unit and can be found in the gateway control unit. Or the reversing camera
is initialised in the reversing camera control unit and the programming procedure can only
be found there.

11.2.7 Customer-specific settings

The customer-specific settings basically enable the vehicle to be configured in

accordance with the customer’s wishes. This involves special functions available
in individual systems.

The customer-specific settings of one or more (all) control units can be listed by
selecting one or more control units.

Examples of customer-specific settings include

“ Comfort closing of the doors/windows

If all control units are selected (Ctrl+A) and
“ Visual/acoustic seat-belt warning
the Customer-specific settings button is then
“ Activating steering wheel heating in conjunction with seat heating
pressed, the PT3 lists all available customer-
specific settings for the control units.
11.2.8 Manual/automatic coding (general)

During programming, all necessary functions such as maps, various pieces of hardware
equipment, PIN assignments, etc. are written to the control unit (programmed).

This data is taken from the diagnostic software and updated during an online/DVD update.

To guarantee that only the latest data records will be saved in the control unit during
programming, the software on the PT3 should always be up-to-date. During coding, If codes are changed or if the vehicle order

77
PIWIS Tester III (PT3)
Provided that this file is not changed using the ‚Additional menu‛ (F7 button) and
the ‚Maintenance of vehicle data‛ function it contains, this file is the vehicle’s ‚birth
certificate‛.

That is why it is also possible to reset the vehicle to the original ‚factory setting‛
during coding.

Factory setting therefore means that the control units/systems access the original
file stored in the gateway. However, if the original file (the vehicle order) in the gateway
was changed at some point (DME or PDK control unit has a newer status than coding
upon delivery from the factory), the current data (in the DME/PDK) is retained.

11.2.9 Manual coding (sequence using the DME control unit as an example)

If the ‚Coding/programming‛ option is selected in the menu bar and ‚Manual coding‛
is activated in the work area, specific settings can be configured in the respective
control unit/system using PIWIS Tester III.

For this purpose, the F12 button must be pressed in the work area after the ‚Manual
coding‛ menu item is activated. A copy of the vehicle order is then loaded from

11.2.10 Automatic coding

If the ‚Automatic coding‛ menu item is selected, all codes in the relevant control unit
are reset to default values from the gateway file (birth certificate). Customer-specific
settings are retained!

The vehicle data must be coded manually if the vehicle order in the gateway can no
longer be accessed (because it is defective). The data from the PPN/PIWIS information
system/Vehicle information must be used for this. Detailed instructions on this can be
found in the Workshop Manual. (Technical Information).

11.2.11 Restore factory settings/codes (or new-part coding)

After the ‚Restore factory settings/codes (or new part coding)‛ menu item is used,
any codes and customer-specific settings are reset to the values stored in the file
(birth certificate) in the gateway.

11.3 Guided Fault Finding in PT3 (New GFF)

11.3.1 Accessing Guided Fault Finding (GFF)

The ‚Guided Fault Finding‛ function in the PT3 has been totally redesigned. It now
uses a fault code to provide a direct link to various information, such as measuring
system, measuring equipment, wiring diagram, fuse assignments, connector views,
pin assignments, installation positions, function descriptions/animations, function
test instructions, diagnostic information, special tools, nominal values, Technical "Guided Fault Finding" can only be accessed

Information notices, Workshop Manuals and much more. The user can now use the on PT3 using the selected fault code in the

program to work through the ‚Possible fault causes‛ displayed by ‚Guided Fault Finding‛. diagnostic session!

The relevant information for this is always available in the test sequence. After working
through a ‚Possible fault cause‛, the system decides which further diagnostic steps
are required or narrows down the ‚Possible fault causes‛, thereby ‚guiding‛ the user
to the actual cause of the fault.

79
PIWIS Tester III (PT3)
‚Guided Fault Finding‛ can be accessed by selecting a fault code during the diagnostic
session (the example used here is the airbag fault 004F07 Coding implausible,
highlighted in blue). Only then is the F9 (GFF) button on the control bar activated and
can be selected.

After pressing the black ‚Next‛ button in the test sequence, ‚Guided Fault Finding‛ opens
the Measuring system function. The measuring system software also instructs the user
to perform a voltage measurement using the relevant channel and the corresponding
measuring cable. Once connected correctly, the user must confirm by pressing ‚Next‛
(F9) and this activates the Digital multimeter function.

It is also possible that the system will open the pre-programmed measuring system
during the test sequence. This shows a reference curve, which is not taken over
automatically. Here, the user must confirm/reject the current actual value of the
curve using the F8/F9 buttons.

11.3.4 GFF interim result and final result

The voltage value, e.g. 12.85 V here, is taken over directly, but can also be entered
manually if the measurement is performed using a hand-held multimeter - or if the correct
measurement was not used. In this case, the test sequence must be resumed by
pressing ‚Next‛.

you to switch to the diagnostic application in order to check whether the fault codes
that were entered are ‚active‛ or ‚inactive‛. If the fault code is no longer ‚active‛ after
working through the ‚Possible fault causes‛, the ‚Possible fault causes‛ are reduced
accordingly in ‚Guided Fault Finding‛. In the example shown below, only one ‚Possible
fault cause‛ is displayed, which then indicates the actual fault.
