ASA3 – Re-Program Reversing Camera Control Unit and, if necessary, Replace Reversing Camera and
Surround View Cameras (Recall 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.

Model Year:

As of 2024 up to 2026

Model Line:

Macan Electric (XAB)

Equipment:

Front and rear ParkAssist assistance systems incl. reversing camera (M-no. KA2)
or
ParkAssist assistance systems incl. Surround View (M-No. KA4)

Concerns:

Reversing camera control unit
Surround view camera

Cause:

In rare cases, the reversing camera of the affected vehicles cannot be activated when ParkAssist is
switched on due to a software error. In addition, with a very small number of affected vehicles, it is
possible that the housing of the reversing camera and individual surround view cameras in the surround
view equipment option were not bonded as per default value specifications.
As a result, no camera image is displayed in the central display when ParkAssist is activated contrary to the
default value specifications. If the camera housing is not bonded correctly, moisture can penetrate and impair
the camera image.

Action:

Re-program reversing camera control unit using the PIWIS Tester and replace reversing camera and individual surround view cameras if necessary.
Information
Each vehicle was assigned exactly to one scope that includes the actions required for each vehicle.
The relevant scope assigned to the vehicle for this campaign can be seen in the PCSS Vehicle Information.

Information
The minimum programming requirement is the PIWIS Tester software release 43.300.040 (or higher).
