WPS1 - Checking Pressure Sensors and Replacing them if Necessary (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.

Update of TUs

Model Year:

As of 2020 up to 2023

Vehicle Type:

Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid (9YA / 9YB)

Concerns:

Air conditioning system pressure sensors

Cause:

Due to a manufacturing error at the supplier, pressure sensors for the refrigerant circuit that
do not meet the required specifications were installed in the affected vehicles.
The failure of one or both pressure sensors in the refrigerant circuit therefore cannot be ruled out over
the lifetime of the vehicle. As a result, there is a possibility that the air conditioning and battery cooling
system are not functioning properly.
This can lead to an increased temperature of the high-voltage battery.

Action:

Check pressure sensors and replace them if necessary.

Affected
Vehicles:

Only vehicles assigned to the campaign (see also PCSS Vehicle Information).

Checking pressure sensors and replacing them if necessary
Work
Procedure:

Information
The installed pressure sensors must be checked using the spare part number and the production date.
All pressure sensors with spare part number 4M0.959.603.C are not OK and must be replaced.
Pressure sensors with spare part number 4M0.959.603.E must also be checked from the applied
production date.
Pressure sensors with spare part number 4M0.959.603.E and applied production date:
