Radiator Fan Intermittently Without Function / DME Fault Memory Entries P2D8900 and
P2D8C00: Re-Programming DME Control Unit (198/22)
Revision:
This bulletin replaces bulletin Group 1 198/22, dated November 16, 2022.
Model Year:
As of 2021 up to 2023
Vehicle Type:
718 Cayman GTS 4.0 (982) / 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 (982) / Boxster 25 years (982)
718 Cayman GT4 (982) / 718 Spyder (982)
Concerns:
Digital engine electronics (DME) control unit
Information:
Customers complain that the air-conditioning system cooling performance is too low. In some cases, the
yellow warning message "Engine control fault" is also displayed in the instrument cluster.
The following fault memory entries are stored in the fault memory of the DME control unit:
•
•
Cause:
P2D8900 - Radiator fan 1 (left), power supply
P2D8C00 - Radiator fan 2 (right), power supply
Due to a software error, the above fault memory entries can occur under certain conditions when the
control unit is started up and thus the fault pattern described.
Action required: In the event of a customer complaint, re-program the DME control unit using the PIWIS Tester with PIWIS
Tester software version 42.300.000 (or higher) installed.
Required tools
Tool:
•
•
Battery charger, e.g.: VAS 5908 - battery charger 90A
P90999 - PIWIS Tester 4 with PIWIS Tester software version 42.300.000 (or higher) installed
Preparatory work
NOTICE
Fault entry in the fault memory or control unit programming aborted, as the case may be, due to
under-voltage.
•
Increased current draw during diagnostics or control unit programming can cause a drop in voltage,
which can result in one or more fault entries and the abnormal termination of the programming process.
Before starting work, connect a suitable battery charger with a current rating of at least 90 A to the
jump-start terminals.

communication module (VCI). As a result, programming may be aborted.
During control unit programming, always connect the PIWIS Tester to the vehicle communication module
(VCI) via the USB cable.
NOTICE
Control unit programming will be aborted if the driver’s key is not detected
•
If the driver’s key is not detected in the vehicle, programming cannot be started or will be interrupted.
Place the driver's key with the back facing down in front of the lock opening for the center console cover to
guarantee a permanent wireless link between the vehicle and driver's key.
