Starting Abrites Diagnostics for Porsche Online and basic diagnostics (DTCs and measured values)

First job on any Porsche: start the online software, connect to the car and read the status of the control units. From here you read and clear the fault codes (DTCs) and monitor live values from the control units.

Procedure

1. Check the workstation requirements: Windows 7 64 bit SP1 PC or later, at least 2 GB RAM (4 GB recommended), 64 GB of free disk space, active AMS and a stable internet connection.
2. Connect the AVDI interface to the car's OBDII socket and to the PC. Chock the vehicle's wheels before starting any test.
3. Check the unique identification number of your AVDI interface in the "license viewer" installed on the PC, so you know which licences you have active.
4. Start the "Abrites Quick Start" application and select "Porsche".
5. Go to the second page of the Porsche options and press the button to launch "Abrites Diagnostics for Porsche Online".
6. Wait for the software to connect to the server and establish communication with the car: the diagnostic menu with the list of control units will appear.
7. For basic diagnostics use the diagnostic menu: from here you have DTC reading and clearing, "Adaptations", "Long Coding", live data monitoring and "Security Access".
8. Select the control unit you want to check and read the stored fault codes. Write the DTCs down before clearing them, then clear them only after the fault has been fixed and read again to make sure they do not return.
9. For live monitoring go into "Measured Values" on the selected control unit: the software shows the control unit values updated live, useful for comparing actual behaviour against expected behaviour during a test.
10. The advanced functions (module reprogramming and SID7 CS reading) are not in the diagnostic menu but in the dedicated "Special functions" menu.
