In some Porsche models there are modules which have the so called “Component Protection” security implemented.
Such modules placed in another vehicle activates the “component protection active” DTC and have restricted functionality.
Into Cayenne 9PA such modules are the Gateway (the master) and the Airbag (the slave).
This special function allows to remove the “component protection active” trouble code and allows the module to work with its full functionality as adapting the “slave” modules to the “master” module. When the special function “Component protection” is started the system is examined and the state (“Virgin” or “Not virgin”) of the modules with component protection is displayed.
In case the state of the module is “Virgin” it can be directly adapted using the ConfigData dump of the “master” Gateway read with programmer.
Or if the state is “Not Virgin” then the “slave” module must firstly be set to “Virgin” state (by OBDII) and then adapted using the ConfigData dump of the “master” Gateway.
Below you can find a couple of screenshots of the procedure
- Gateway and Airbag Status
- Resetting the Airbag to a virgin state
- The unit is now virgin
- To learn the unit, load the Gateway dump from the car
- The unit is now successfully adapted to the car
