Vehicle hand-over
The PCM2 is converted to delivery mode (low-current mode) in production. As known from other systems (alarm system, instrument cluster, roll-over bar), the PCM2 must be activated with the 9588 Porsche System Tester II.

1. Connect and start the 9588 Porsche System Tester II and switch on the ignition.
2. Select 'Special functions' in the Vehicle type menu and confirm with the key.
3. Select 'Vehicle hand-over' in the Control modules menu and confirm with the [>>] key.
4. Follow the instructions of the 9588 Porsche System Tester II.

Air conditioning
The following versions can be coded:

- Without air conditioning.
- With air conditioning.

Coding country-specific tuner settings
1. Connect and start the 9588 Porsche System Tester II and switch on the ignition.
2. Select '911 Carrera (996)' in the Vehicle type menu and confirm with the [>>] key.
3. Select 'PCM' in the Control modules menu and confirm with the [>>] key.
4. Select 'PCM2 GW' in the PCM2 function selection and confirm with the [>>] key.
5. Select 'Coding' in the PCM2 GW function selection and confirm with the [>>] key.
6. Select 'Tuner parameters' in the PCM2 GW coding function selection and confirm with the [>>] key.

MOST switch
The MOST switch is part of the PCM2. If external MOST control modules are present, they will only work if the MOST switch is open.
The following settings can be coded:

- MOST switch open.
- MOST switch closed.

NOTE:
- When the PCM2 is replaced, the coding must be performed in accordance with the vehicle equipment.
- When the 'Switch closed' parameter is set, the switch remains closed even in existing MOST control modules. Communication is then not possible.

Coding PCM2
1. Connect and start the 9588 Porsche System Tester II and switch on the ignition.

Production mode
If the MOST control module is set to Production mode on, it is in low-current mode. This status is indicated by the message 'PROTECTED' on the display. The control module cannot function. If production mode is coded out, the control module is operational again following a restart (vehicle must be locked and secured).
The following options can be coded:

- Production mode off.
- Production mode on.

Control module replacement - PCM2
The PCM2 is supplied in production mode on in new vehicles and as a spare part. If production mode is coded out, the control module is operational again following a restart (vehicle must be locked and secured).

Each time the vehicle is started, the model range code that is stored is compared with the code in the instrument cluster. If no match is found, the device switches off after 30 seconds and the 'PROTECTED' message appears in the display. The device is not operational.

If a match is found, the device is operational. No further checks are made while the device is connected to the vehicle electrical system.
