How to Reset Porsche Panamera Service Reminders + coding

8131

You have to get a diagnostic code scanner. It provides access to the many Porsche control units for maintenance and troubleshooting information. The tool helps you read Porsche Panamera diagnostic codes with user-friendly descriptions, part numbers, and over-rev data; can activate drive links and capture actual values; resets the service reminder on cars that support them and can clear the warning indicators of most systems.

The diagnostic tool is easy to use. Simply load the software on your Windows computer and connect the cable between the computer and car. Start the program, select your model, and the program will begin communicating with the car.

There are a few kits out there.

There are two main differences between the Enthusiast and Professional Kits:

These features are included with the Professional kits only:

–  Support an unlimited number of cars.

–  The Coding and Command Console features.  The Coding feature provides for the ability to enable or disable predefined features in the car such as airbags, daytime running lights, cruise control, and the rear spoiler where applicable. The Command Console feature is a means of communicating with the control units using very low-level communications. This feature is very seldom used.

The Enthusiast kits:

–  Support only up to three cars only.

–  No Coding Feature.
