WSC3 – Re-Program DME 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.

For specific information on control unit programming during this campaign, see the table below.
Required PIWIS Tester software release:
43.300.020 (or higher)
Type of control unit programming:
Control unit programming using the "Automatic
programming" function of the DME control unit:

"Automatic programming" function.
Programming sequence:
Read and follow the information and instructions on
the PIWIS Tester during the guided programming
sequence.
During the programming sequence, the DME control
unit is re-programmed first, then the PDK control unit
is re-programmed.
Both control units are then automatically re-coded.
Do not interrupt the programming and coding
process.
Once the control units have been programmed and
coded, you will be prompted to switch the ignition off
and then back on again after a certain waiting period.
Backup documentation of the new software versions
is then performed.
