| 122-X5B2V-10 | 2017-11-08. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY:CABLES; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL. Due to incorrect fitting of the front hood lock cable, there is a possibility that the cable will rub against the microswitch for the hood lock. This will damage the microswitch. As a result, the warning "Hood open" will be displayed in the instrument cluster. |

| 122-G9R4C-11 | 2017-10-15. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. In the course of annual model improvements, various functionalities of the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system have been enhanced, optimisations have been implemented and the general performance of the system has been further improved at the same time. These function enhancements and optimisations must be implemented retrospectively even for vehicles manufactured before the model improvement measures were introduced. To this end, the PCM software will be updated on the affected vehicles using an SD card. Due to the changes to the PCM, the instrument cluster must also be re-programmed using the PIWIS Tester in order to ensure consistency between the displays in PCM and the instrument cluster. |
| 122-F5N4C-11 | 2017-10-15. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Incorrect coding of vehicle data. The coding "9WU" = MIRRORLINK + RSE PREPARATION was set at the factory. ?Apple CarPlay? works when the coding is changed to "9WT" = MIRRORLINK (CARPLAY/GAL). |
| 122-Y8E4C-10 | 2017-10-15. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL. Subject: Outside temperature display in the instrument cluster Information: Customers complain that the outside temperature value in the instrument cluster is implausible and does not change. |
| 122-B3Y9V-10 | 2017-10-15. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL. Concern: Coding failures of the instrument cluster. Information: Ensure the Auto Memory option is deselected prior to replacing or coding an Instrument Cluster on all Macan models. Due to the numerous options and software available to support those options, coding faults can occur. To turn off Auto Memory through the Instrument Cluster; Select Setting-> Locking-> Auto Memory. If the vehicle is not equipped with Auto Memory, no work around is necessary. |
| 122-B7U4T-05 | 2017-10-15. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY. Customer Concern: Certain vehicle systems have unwanted, unpredictable behavior. Technical Concern: The symptoms are difficult to diagnose. There may be multiple symptoms intermittently affecting multiple systems. Though this is not an exhaustive list, some common failure modes are: ? Start/stop issues ? Power windows not fully returning to the parked position after automatic preopening ? PCM audio stopping during a start/stop cycle Ultimately, the technician determines that low 12-volt battery voltage is the underlying root cause of the unwanted behavior. The technician corrects the battery?s low voltage. Consequently, the unwanted behavior ends. |
| 122-A4N7P-09 | 2017-09-14. Service bulletin. TRAILER HITCHES; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL. Information: A Cayenne with optional equipment no. 1D6 will come with a Trailer hitch receiver and wiring up to the receiver hitch that includes a control unit to operate the trailer parking lights, turn signals and brake lights. The Cayenne is also pre-wired for a brake controller. You will need to do the following to hook up the trailer electrics and/or an electric brake controller: |
