Fault code 0778: Diagnosis/troubleshooting: Initializing

The steering-angle sensor in Cayenne must be initialized after the following work is carried out:

NOTE: Calibration of the steering-angle sensor must be performed on a measuring platform. First, the level control module must be coded successfully and the steering-angle sensor must be initialized. The steering-angle sensor must be calibrated after work has been carried out on the running gear in the area of the front axle.
DIAGNOSIS/TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE

Work instruction Display OK If not OK
1 Initialize steering-angle sensor
  • Switch on ignition.
  • Position wheels straight ahead.
  • From the straight-ahead position, turn the steering wheel approx. '15°' to the left and '15°' to the right (past the straight-ahead position).
  • Drive the vehicle straight ahead at a speed of '> 4 km/h for at least 1 second'.
After successful initialization, the stored fault code is erased from the fault memory and the NRA control lamp goes out.
→ End
Go to Step 2
2 Check steering-angle sensor calibration using 9588 Porsche System Tester II
  • Running gear set according to Porsche specifications.
  • Wheels in straight-ahead position and steering wheel horizontal.
  • Steering wheel may be turned by max. '± 2.0°' from the horizontal position for driving straight ahead.
After successful calibration, the stored fault code is erased from the fault memory.
→ End
Go to Step 3
3 Mechanical fault
  • Examine moving parts for damage and check mobility.
Go to Step 4 The steering-angle sensor is integrated into the steering column switch and must be replaced along with this if its functionality is mechanically impaired.
→ End
4 Read out steering column switch control module, fault memory and check circuit for short or open circuit
  • Eliminate faults in accordance with 'Diagnosis/troubleshooting' for steering column switch control module.
If electric circuit is OK:
Go to Step 5
Repair wiring harness circuit.
→ End
5 Check CAN drive If CAN drive is OK:
Go to Step 6
Repair wiring harness.
→ End
6 Replace steering-angle sensor The steering-angle sensor can only be replaced together with the steering column switch.
→ End
Go to Step 7
7 Replace level control module → End
