Fault code 0230

Switch for selector lever position 'P' (in selector block for automatic transmission)

Diagnostic conditions
- Internal KESSY control module function test

Possible cause of fault
- Short circuit to B+ or open circuit in wiring
- Short circuit to ground
- Selector lever position switch faulty
- Control module faulty

- Control module plug A: pin 29
- Plug connection for selector lever position switch: pin 3

Diagnosis/troubleshooting

NOTE:
Visual inspection: In the next troubleshooting section, please check first that the affected pins on the KESSY control module plug connection are neither damaged nor corroded. The wiring and plugs of the affected components must also be checked for external damage and correct contacts. Repair damaged or corroded pins if possible, otherwise replace affected pins. Repair or replace damaged wires.

NOTE: Conventional diagnosis/troubleshooting cannot be performed for the fault type 'short circuit to B+', which is displayed using the 'F8' key in the Porsche System Tester II No. 9588. The reason for this is that the ignition cannot be switched on when there is no control module connected. As a result, it is not possible to differentiate uniquely between a short circuit to terminal 30 and a short circuit to terminal 15. A thorough visual inspection of components and wiring must therefore be carried out before replacing a control module.
