DIY: Program PSE at Home (ThinkDiag+)
#61
So I got an Android phone to do the programming. I got the PSE button looking like it is working. (I don’t have the mufflers on to know for sure, but the lights are acting correctly).
On the left side I set the 2nd button to SportPlus and the third button to PSM off. Neither of those two buttons are working. If I push the 4th button then it deactivates PSM and it and the 5th LED lights up. I set the 4th and 5th buttons to “not assigned “ but 4 still controls the PSM. I would leave it there but that would mean an empty button above it which looks stupid. Am I missing a step somewhere?
Also, I did code SportsPlus button available.

For my car: its
SPORT | SPOLIER
SPORT | PLUS PSE
PASM AUTO | START STOP
PSM OFF
Where did you set these buttons? In the BKE field assignment? What all did you do? Seems like theres some extra steps youve taken to activate things that are beyond this thread

My Pleasure Jim! Glad i could help and nice talking to you!

Well attempt #4 to figure out this ThinkDiag stuff has FAILED!!!
So frustrating trying to follow posted directions that cover some but not all details of the steps to be taken.
For example - after any of the sequences below are you to select “WRITE CODE”?
I didn’t out of fear I’d mess something up - so are you supposed to or not? I’d think that would be a pretty important bit of information to be noted.
Also it would help if the sequences were worded EXACTLY as the options in the ThinkDiag app - I just had to guess if my selections matched the sequences listed.
Never could find DME - is it in the Air Conditioner section? Other?
I have my auto start/stop button pressed with the light on so that is the position it stays in all the time.
I’m trying to set the auto start/stop button to control the exhaust valves on my C2S without PSE.

First, Yes, of course you "write code". Its basically the same thing as clicking enter.
Second, DME is NOT in the AC module. Its its own. If i recall, its about 3 down from the top when you get to the main list of things.
Third, Make sure your BKE key assignment is correct for button number 2 (i assume you have spolier, *** on the right ride) (this is found in the AC module)
Move "***" to the third spot on the right before making spot 2 "PSE"

I installed the mufflers this afternoon, so I finally got to test out the system. Unfortunately, the button doesn't seem to be controlling the valves even though it lights up. Now I will have to figure out if it is a similar programing issue or I just have a vacuum line that came undone.
It is hot and I am tired. I think it is time for a beer break!

I did some digging and found another coding change for the exhaust. I have a 981, so I don’t know if this is specific for that or not since I haven’t seen it mentioned before.
Rear-End Electronics
Code / Brush Hiding
Brush Hidden / Modified
Coding Value
Coding Value_0
Coding Value - Equipment- Exhaust flaps actuation equipment
-Yes
I can now hear a difference when I have the PSE button pushed. It is not as much of a difference as I expected, but there seems to be a difference. Hopefully it’s not just in my head.
I will do some testing at the valves tomorrow to make sure they are moving when I press the button.

Did some digging today and the hardware is working . Just not the difference between open and closed that I was expecting. I won't clog up this thread, I will go back to the 981 forum to dig into that.

If you want them to stay on, best bet is to hit the button before you turn the key

Does this process work for a 991.2
I’m about to install PSE on a 991.2 base w/o PSE. Unlike the S models it does not come with any PSE plumbing so I have to install the wire harness, vacuum lines, etc.
Will this process work to program the PSE on 991.2? I noticed that all the comments are only for the 991.1.
