Removing And Installing Rate-of-turn Sensor - PSM 5.7
The transverse acceleration sensor is integrated in the rate-of-turn sensor as of PSM 5.7 (as of the 2000 model).
Removal
CAUTION: The rate-of-turn sensor is a micro-mechanical component and is very sensitive to impacts.
NOTE: Perform removal and installation with the ignition switched off.
1. Move the front seats into the rear seat position.
2. Remove side-panel lining in front of the center console on the left -A- and right.
3. Remove fastening nuts of the rate-of-turn sensor on the right -arrow- and left.
4. Pull out the rate-of-turn sensor and unlock and pull off the connector with the ignition switched off.
NOTE: Pull at the connector housing only. Never pull the electrical connections.
Installation
1. Install in reverse order.
2. After installing the rate-of-turn sensor, read out the PSM fault memory with the Porsche System Tester 2 and erase. Carry out a static test. Then start the engine. The PSM-related lights in the instrument cluster must go out when the engine is running. Read out the PSM fault memory again. There must not be any stored faults.
