WPK0 - Re-Programming PSM Control Unit (Workshop Campaign)

Important:

CRITICAL WARNING -This campaign includes steps where control unit(s) in the vehicle will be
programmed with the PIWIS Tester. The vehicle voltage must be maintained between 13.5 volts and 14.5
volts during this programming. Failure to maintain this voltage could result in damaged control unit(s).
Damage caused by inadequate voltage during programming is not a warrantable defect. The technician
must verify the actual vehicle voltage in the PIWIS Tester before starting the campaign and also document
the actual voltage on the repair order.

Assessment

Action

( )

Perform a detailed functional test of the hydraulic
unit. Then bleed the brake system with bleeding
routines EBB and PSM and re-program the PSM
control unit.

Hydraulic unit function OK.
It is also suggested that
you perform a detailed
function test of the
hydraulic unit (expected
duration: 60 min.)
(✗)
Hydraulic unit function not
OK
(see also error message
below*)

Continue with Step 1.5. Invoicing for Scope 4.

Replace the PSM control unit and hydraulic unit.
In this case, please send a PRMS Warranty / Campaigns
ticket to PCNA. The ticket does not need to be assigned to
any specific person.
Only in the event of the aforementioned error message*
can you replace the PSM control unit and hydraulic unit
immediately after you have sent the ticket and without
waiting for the response. The invoice can be made via
a request for subsequent compensation to the original
campaign claim.
It is important to keep the removed parts, as they are
requested for analysis.

Information
* Error message PSM control unit incl. hydraulic unit
In the event that the PSM control unit incl. hydraulic unit has a fault and must be replaced, the
following message is displayed in the PIWIS Tester:
“The brake system is faulty!
The function test of the hydraulic unit is completed. The brake system is defective.
Replace the complete PSM system.”
