Piwi diagnostic program for Porche Taykan

[carlos vilarinho]

Black box to the left of the 800V isolator is full of fuses.

Hi shug are you asking if the black box is full of fuses or are you saying that the black box is full of fuses??? I can take a picture and send it...!!

No, I am telling you it is full of fuses, I posted earlier where all the fuse boxes are.

You need to get your multimeter out and check every fuse in the car while you wait for your PIWIS to arrive.

Blown fuses could be most of your problems and PIWIS will not tell you a fuse is blown, only that the circuit does not function.

Thank you, I haven't checked this box yet but I normally use this to check fuses (see photo below) the tip goes to a screw or metal and sells the light if the fuse is in good condition, for this box it is necessary to check the fuses with the engine on...correct

Sh -I have already checked all the fuses inside the vehicle with this tool that I published previously, is there a fuse box in the trunk or behind the rear seats? I will check this black box first thing in the morning as soon as I wake up.

In these places where I attach photos below, I already checked everything previously with this pen, I turned on the car's ignition and checked fuse by fuse and so far I still haven't seen a blown fuse.
Now, in addition to the black box inside the front hood, which I haven't checked yet, in addition to this black box in the front of the car, there will be another fuse box in the back next to the rear seats??????

Looks like you have most of the fuse boxes identified.

Not familiar with the tool you are using to check your fuses.

I generally check mine with the multimeter set to ohms and the ignition off / negative terminal disconnected from the battery.

There are lots of fuses in the boot/trunk on the right-hand side that require you to pull the panels off to access.

I have to apologise for my language skills, looking at your videos, I can only speak and read English.

I'm sorry, I'll make one or two more videos in the morning, the same and I'll put everything in English so you can understand. To be honest, I didn't even realize that the menu was in any language other than English, the tool I use is like a pen that has a tip like a needle and on the back connected to the rail through a metal spring and a wire, the motorcycle you can connect to the car chassis with a screw etc... the needle passes over the fuse on the metallic point of the fuse and the light on top of the pen comes on if the fuse is good if the fuse is blown the light is not on, normally this is done with the ignition on so the fuses are working and this way the pen can identify whether the fuse has current or not, I never used it with the botimeyro… but I can also learn if you explain to me ?I was completely unaware of the fuse boxes in the trunk of the car, if I can tell you the location or have any information plan on where they are and what each fuse is for… I have I also want to check all of these !!!! I am very grateful for everything you have given me ?

If you remember when we were speaking about isolating the 800V at the rear of the car, there was an image posted that showed the fuses that are there, there are allot of them and they are not easy to access, there are several panels to remove to get access to them.

Open the boot/trunk and look to your right, all you see is a plain panel running the full length of the boot. They are behind there.

if you plan on doing this work yourself it is worth registering with PPN and buying access to the workshop manuals & wiring diagrams. You can register at https://pcss-tsi.porsche.com/landing/static/registration. They approved my account over night.

Good point bigKraig,

You can also see the status of the recalls on your car against your chassis #

the tool I use is like a pen that has a tip like a needle and on the back connected to the rail through a metal spring and a wire, the motorcycle you can connect to the car chassis with a screw etc... the needle passes over the fuse on the metallic point of the fuse and the light on top of the pen comes on if the fuse is good if the fuse is blown the light is not on, normally this is done with the ignition on so the fuses are working and this way the pen can identify whether the fuse has current or not, I never used it with the botimeyro…

@carlos vilarinho , the tool you are using just tells you if there is voltage at the tip (hence the other end connects to ground). That is why you need to have the ignition ON, so all the fuses are powered, then you check on each end of each fuse, and if you find one which has voltage on one end but not the other, the fuse is open (blown). If you find a fuse without any voltage on either end, fuse upstream may be open, or perhaps it's something that it not always turned on - check user manual what this fuse supplies.

The tool @Shug was referring to is a continuity checker which can check fuses without the car being powered (even fuse removed from the vehicle in your hand) by touching both ends of the fuse to see if there is a path between them. Any battery powered meter with continuity checker (a.k.a. resistance or Ohm meter) will work. Any fuse that does not have continuity across it is blown.

As I mentioned here before, my car arrived from the Porche parking lot yesterday in tow, and when it arrived the battery was at 6% (almost no battery) as it was late I parked the car in the garage and left it there all night, it's worth it I should point out that I didn't charge the car in the porche because they had broken chargers, this morning I went to move the car to charge and it had 4% battery and a yellow turtle appeared on the fixed instrument panel (it doesn't blink) this turtle and normql when the car is almost out of battery…???? What does this turtle mean????

 

[whitex]

Turtle means reduced power for the drivetrain. It could be caused by low state of charge of the battery.

I don't have a charger here at home, the charger to connect to the socket, but I have the cable that I leave here in the photo, and I have a three-phase socket in the garage, my question is can I connect this charging cable to the three-phase socket and plug it directly into the car? ????or not???
