WARNING: Steering-angle sensor not calibrated or calibrated incorrectly
Unexpected vehicle handling
Steering-angle sensor does not function
Malfunction in steering-angle sensor
→ After working on wheel suspension parts, when replacing the steering-angle sensor and after
changing the wheel alignment values, calibrate the steering-angle sensor using PIWIS Tester II 9818 .
→ Keep the front wheels in straight-ahead position on the measuring platform during calibration.
→ On vehicles with electromechanical steering, also re-teach the electric steering lock settings.
NOTE: Voltage drop

Fault entries in the control unit
Coding in the control unit is aborted
→ Prior to disconnecting the control unit, switch off the ignition and remove the ignition key.
→ Ensure that the power supply is not interrupted during programming.
→ Connect a battery charger with a current rating of at least → Nominal value: 40 A to the vehicle
battery.
Information
The steering-angle sensor is integrated into the steering column switch and records the
movements of the steering wheel (steering wheel angle). The data is transmitted to the PSM
control unit via the CAN bus.
During initialization, the steering-angle sensor learns its current position (straight-ahead position).
Calibration must be performed when working on or carrying out subsequent work on the chassis.
This is described in detail in → Calibrating Steering-Angle Sensor .
The calibration results in zero point balancing (exactly straight ahead).
The steering-angle sensor is calibrated when first fitted and when any work has been carried out
on steering and chassis. Examples of this would be opening the steering wiring and alterations to
toe and camber.
Calibration includes initialization.
1. Turn wheels to straight-ahead position.
2. From the straight-ahead position, turn steering wheel approx. 6° to the left and 6° to the right
(past straight-ahead position).
Following successful initialization, the stored fault code is set to "not present". The PSM indicator light in
the instrument cluster goes out.

CALIBRATING STEERING-ANGLE SENSOR
Information
The steering-angle sensor must be recalibrated on the measuring platform following repairs to or
work on the chassis/steering or if the steering-angle sensor/steering column switch is replaced.
Calibration includes initialization.
In order to calibrate the steering-angle sensor correctly, the vehicle must be on the measuring
platform, the wheel alignment values must be correct and the steering must be in the
straight-ahead position.
Calibrate the steering-angle sensor by selecting >>Steering wheel

electronics>>Maintenance/repairs>>Steering-angle sensor calibration<< in the PIWIS Tester II
control unit overview.
The steering-angle sensor must be calibrated using the menu with the Porsche System Tester under the
specified test conditions:
1. The chassis is adjusted according to Porsche specifications.
2. Switch on ignition.
3. Turn wheels and steering wheel to straight-ahead position.
In the straight-ahead position, the steering wheel may be turned by max. ± 2.0° from the
horizontal position (steering center position).
4. Enter the security code under the >>Calibrate<< menu in the Porsche System Tester.
5. Turn the steering wheel out of the straight-ahead position (approx. 6° to the left/right) in
accordance with the instructions on the Porsche System Tester. Turn the wheels back to the
straight-ahead position and follow the instructions on the Porsche System Tester.
6. After successful calibration, the stored fault code is erased from the fault memory. The PSM
indicator light in the instrument cluster goes out.

WEAR ASSESSMENT - GENERAL
Normally, brake disc replacement is necessary if the thickness is less than the minimum thickness. In
rare, isolated cases (of very high loads for long periods) replacement may be necessary due to crack
formation. To a certain extent these cracks may be rated as not important. The following sections
describe when to replace the brake discs.
Cracks arise through material fatigue due to frequent and extreme thermal expansion fluctuations.
Particularly in cases of very high loads for long periods, these thermal expansion fluctuations produce
internal stresses. The result may be cracks in the friction surface. These cracks allow relaxation of the
friction disc, so that the speed at which the cracks develop is very slow.
The cracks run from the center of the friction surface to the (inner and outer) edges of the brake disc. As
different vehicle types have different brake disc sizes, differences arise for the maximum crack length
limits.
The maximum crack length limit is calculated as follows:
0.5 x a (-a- = width of friction surface in mm).
Fig 1: Identifying Width Of Friction Surface A
Larger cracks impair braking comfort and reduce brake disc strength, therefore making brake disc
replacement necessary as a precaution.
Irrespective of the crack length, the brake disc must be replaced if the crack has extended as far as the
outer and/or inner edge of the disc.

PLATINUM ED., PANAMERA 4 PLATINUM ED.) > INFORMATION > BEDDING IN THE
BRAKE PADS AND BRAKE DISCS
New brake pads require a bedding-in period of approx. 200 km (124 miles)! Only then do they achieve
their best friction and wear coefficient. During this period, the brakes should be subjected to full stress
when travelling at high speed only in emergencies. The slightly reduced braking effect must be
compensated for by increased pressure on the brake pedal. The same also applies after replacing or
machining brake discs.

PLATINUM ED., PANAMERA 4 PLATINUM ED.) > CHECKING > CHECKING FRONT
BRAKE DISCS (EVALUATING CRACKS)
Different vehicle types have different brake disc sizes. This produces differences for the maximum crack
length limits.
The maximum crack length limit is calculated as follows:
0.5 x a (-a- = width of friction surface in mm).
Fig 1: Identifying Width Of Friction Surface A
The length of a crack can be measured with a steel rule, for example. → Brake discs
Fig 2: Identifying Length On Brake Discs Cracks
Information
Irrespective of the crack length, the brake disc must be replaced if the crack has extended as far as the
outer and/or inner edge of the disc.
As a precaution, brake discs must be replaced when:
the → Maximum crack length: 0.5 x a mm (a = friction surface width in mm) is exceeded! the
→ Maximum crack width: 1 mm is exceeded!
the → Maximum crack depth: 1.5 mm is exceeded!

BRAKE DISCS - MINIMUM THICKNESS
Information
Normally, brake discs are used until the maximum wear dimension is reached. → 46 TECHNICAL
DATA/BRAKE WEAR LIMITS Only in a few exceptional cases is it advisable to skim the brake discs (if
there is deep scoring or corrosion of the friction surface). In this case only the disc brake dressing
machines approved by Porsche AG are to be used .
Only as new brake discs may be reworked!
Only rework the brake discs symmetrically, evenly from both sides!
As the pressure force of a brake piston on the brake pad varies in magnitude, different areas of wear
arise on the friction surface. The brake disc can basically be divided into two areas of wear:
-A- Outer and inner wear area.
-B- Central wear area.

Fig 1: Identifying Wear Areas A And B
The central wear area -B- is the area with the highest degree of wear.

Brake disc becomes distorted as a result of serious driving.
Too much lateral runout when new brake discs are fitted on dirty or distorted wheel hubs.
Procedure
Check brake disc for cracks, minimum thickness, lateral runout, thickness tolerance, flatness and
surface roughness.
If necessary, (depending on the actual brake disc thickness and the brake disc wear limit) machine
the brake disc using one of the disc brake dressing machines approved by Porsche.
The brake disc must only be reworked symmetrically, i.e. evenly from both sides! Observe the
operating instructions for the disc brake dressing machine!

The brake discs have wear indicator plates in the friction surfaces. The wear indicator plates (six on
each brake disc) are arranged close to the outer diameter, offset by 120° at three points -arrows- . The
three wear indicator plates on each friction surface (3 on the inside and 3 on the outside) are positioned
directly opposite each other. Each wear indicator is approx. 2 cm2 . The wear indicators are barely
visible on new brake discs.

CHECKING PCCB BRAKE DISCS > BASIC INFORMATION
Checking involves the following tasks:
1. Visual inspection for surface changes in the brake disc friction surfaces and wear indicators.
Indication of wear: Connected surface fracture > 1 cm 2-arrow- , without adding up smaller
fractures → Checking PCCB Brake Discs (Wear Assessment) .
Fig 1: Locating Associated Surface Fracture
2. Check surface roughness (Rk) of brake discs (max. 80 μm permitted) since this affects braking
comfort (noises), braking behavior/pedal pressure and brake pad service life → Checking
PCCB Brake Discs (Wear Assessment) .

CHECKING PCCB BRAKE DISCS > GENERAL INFORMATION ON REPLACING WORN
PCCB BRAKE DISCS
Three criteria governing the condition of the parts can make replacement necessary depending on the wear of
PCCB brake discs:
1. Surface changes in the brake disc friction surfaces (material fatigue/wear) at an advanced
stage (indication of wear: connected friction surface damage > 1 cm2 ).
2. Surface roughness of the brake disc friction surfaces too great (roughness depends on
mileage and load).
3. Brake disc minimum thickness is not attained due to wear (material erosion due to friction).
1. In practice, all three forms of brake disc erosion usually occur.
2. Only in rare cases (as a result of long-term motor-racing brake loads/very high
temperatures on the friction surfaces), surface changes can progress so quickly that the
brake discs may need to be changed earlier than planned.
3. Brake discs that have turned blue at the brake-disc chamber and/or brake callipers that
have turned a strong brown color are clear indications of high loads over a long period of
time, e.g. on the race circuit.

CHECKING PCCB BRAKE DISCS > REPLACING BRAKE DISCS
(INFORMATION/DECISION-MAKING AID)
When replacing brake discs as a result of wear (see Wear assessment) both brake discs must be
replaced on an axle!
Irrespective of wear, a brake disc change can be necessary on the brake disc friction surfaces due to
edge damage! In this case, only one brake disc can be replaced if the friction surface of the other PCCB
brake disc is still 'as new' → Checking PCCB Brake Discs (Wear Assessment) .
The wear indicator plates (six on each brake disc) are arranged close to the outer diameter, offset by
120 ° -arrows- at three points. The three wear indicator plates on each friction surface (3 on the inside
and 3 on the outside) are positioned directly opposite each other. Each wear indicator is approx. 2 cm 2 .
The wear indicators are barely visible on new brake discs.
Fig 1: Locating Wear Indicators
The minimum brake disc thickness (wear dimension) is stamped on the brake disc hub (example: Min.
Th. 37.7 mm).

CHECKING PCCB BRAKE DISCS > CRACKS (STRESS-RELIEF MICROSTRUCTURE) IN
THE BRAKE DISC FRICTION SURFACE
Cracks in the brake disc friction surfaces must be regarded differently to cracks in grey cast-iron brake
discs. These cracks are not regarded as wear criteria for PCCB brake discs and may even be present
on new brake discs, depending on the manufacturer.
Fig 1: Identifying Stress-Relief Microstructure In PCCB Brake Disc Friction Surfaces
Information
Due to the composition of different materials in the friction layer and support body, the friction
surfaces (even when new) are coated with an uncritical crack pattern (stress-relief microstructure).
Individual relaxation cracks sometimes run along the perforated bores.
The stress-relief microstructure results from the way in which the brake disc surface is
manufactured and does not pose a risk to safety. There is also no danger of the friction layers
flaking off from the support body, since the friction layers are almost free of internal stresses as a
result of the stress-relief microstructure.
The stress-relief microstructure is sometimes clearly visible in new brake discs and the brake disc
chamber side and the side that is opposite to the chamber can differ significantly from one
another.

CHECKING PCCB BRAKE DISCS > INFORMATION CONCERNING BORES
(PERFORATIONS) IN THE BRAKE DISC FRICTION SURFACE
Observe the following warning when cleaning or exposing the bores in the brake disc friction surface!
Fig 1: Identifying Bores (Perforations) In Brake Disc Friction Surface
NOTE: Work cannot be carried out on the bores in the brake disc friction surface
Damage to brake discs
→ Clean the bores on PCCB brake discs with high-pressure cleaning equipment if necessary. Observe
the relevant environmental and safety regulations.
→ Do not machine the bores. Drilling or counter-sinking is not permitted.

CHECKING PCCB BRAKE DISCS > COATING ON THE PCCB BRAKE DISCS
(POTENTIAL CAUSES)
The coating on the PCCB brake discs arises as a result of a high load and high temperatures, for
example on a racing circuit. Check the following in such cases:
Ventilation (brake cooling): all components are present, secured correctly and undamaged.
Brake pad quality: If the vehicle is used for race-track driving, use appropriate brake pads.
Perforation bores → Bores (perforations) in brake disc friction surface in the brake discs must not
be blocked, unblock them if necessary → 465102 CHECKING FRONT PCCB BRAKE DISC
(WEAR ASSESSMENT) .
In the event of brake pad wear, the brake discs can still be used provided the brake discs satisfy all
wear criteria (see also GENERAL INFORMATION ON REPLACEMENT OF PCCB BRAKE DISCS
DUE TO WEAR ). The perforation bores → Bores (perforations) in brake disc friction surface must
not be blocked.

CHECKING PCCB BRAKE DISCS > INFORMATION ON BEDDING IN NEW BRAKE
PADS
New brake pads require a slightly longer bedding-in period for PCCB brake discs than cast iron brake
discs.
In general, the following applies: New brake pads must be broken in (bedding-in period), their optimum
braking effect is therefore not reached until after a few hundred kilometers. The slightly reduced braking
effect must be compensated for by increased pressure on the brake pedal. The same also applies after
a brake disc change.

PANAMERA PLATINUM ED., PANAMERA 4 PLATINUM ED.) > CHECKING PCCB
BRAKE DISCS (WEAR ASSESSMENT) > VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE SURFACES OF
THE BRAKE DISC FRICTION SURFACES (INDICATION OF WEAR)
Information
The friction surface changes occur due to material fatigue as a result of extremely high thermal
load. These disc temperatures, which occur above all in racing conditions, cause a progressive
material fatigue.
Effects on driving: The surface change worsens the smoothness of braking, decreases the disc
strength and increases the brake pad wear and therefore makes a precautionary parts
replacement necessary.
The following illustrations (PCCB brake disc wear appearance) are to be used for damage assessment.

BRAKE DISCS (WEAR ASSESSMENT) > PCCB BRAKE DISC WEAR APPEARANCE
1. Friction surfaces after normal brake load while driving on roads.
No surface fractures present -

No replacement necessary!
2. Friction surfaces after a long run and occasional higher load. Isolated cases of connected
surface fractures less than 1 cm2-arrow- .

No replacement necessary as the associated surface fractures are < 1 cm !
Fig 2: Locating PCCB Surface Fractures
3. End of service life of friction surface or after highest load on a racing circuit.
Replace brake discs if the connected friction surface damage is > 1 cm 2-arrow- . To do this,
follow the instructions provided under → 465102 CHECKING FRONT PCCB BRAKE DISC
(WEAR ASSESSMENT) .
Fig 3: Locating Associated Surface Fracture
The best way to detect a surface fracture is by checking the wear indicators. Based on the
wear indicators, this means that at least one wear indicator -arrow- must have a surface
2
fracture of > 50% (damage > 1 cm /entire surface of a wear indicator with a surface area of
2
approx. 2 cm ).
Fig 4: Locating PCCB Surface Burnout On Wear Indicator

BRAKE DISCS (WEAR ASSESSMENT) > EVALUATION OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS RK
(MAX. 80 MICROMETERS PERMITTED)
Information
An increase in surface roughness impairs smoothness of braking (rubbing, shaking in steering

wheel, scraping noises) and increases brake pad wear.
With a roughness (Rk) value of > 80 μm (> 80 micrometers), a precautionary parts replacement is
required.
The assessment is carried out visually, based on the diagram. Two illustrations of the same peak-to
valley surface roughness (views 1 and 2) help to make a better assessment.
1. Brake discs that are OK:
1. 1.1. Surface roughness Rk = 6 μm - see- (Fig 1 )

Fig 1: Identifying PCCB Surface Roughness (Rk) = 6 Micrometers (View 1)
Surface roughness Rk = 6 μm -see- (Fig 2 )
New brake disc. Illustration is used for better classification.
The early stages of roughness are indicated by burnt-out carbon fibres on the
surface of an otherwise intact, semi-matt surface.
The surface feels smooth.

2. 1.2. Surface roughness Rk = 56 μm -see- (Fig 3 )


In the advanced stages of fibre burnout and the initial destruction of the Si and SiC
'matrix', the depressions have become more pronounced. Large sections of the
surface are still intact, the depressions form an even, fine-grained pattern.
The surface still feels matt, however, and the roughness is not yet pronounced.
No replacement necessary!

Borderline disc, which can still just be evaluated as OK. As a result of more
advanced damage to the surface, the depressions are larger, and above all deeper,
compared with the previous surface condition.
On the one hand, the more extensive roughness is noticeable (only when a
comparison is made); on the other hand, however, like before, "only" depressions are
observed.
Replacement not yet necessary!

2. Worn brake discs:

Worn surface. Advanced wear has led to a situation where only the remains of the
original surface are left.
It is clear that the roughness is caused not only by depressions but also by bumps.
Replace brake discs! To do this, follow the instructions → 465102 CHECKING

FRONT PCCB BRAKE DISC (WEAR ASSESSMENT) .
In general, the following applies: Brake discs must be replaced if the surface
roughness (Rk) is > 80 μm!
3. Worn brake discs (special cases):
1. 3.1. Surface roughness Rk = 108 μm, as for previous disc, but with some of the
original friction surface remaining -arrow- .

In general, the following applies: Brake discs must be replaced if the surface
roughness (Rk) is > 80 μm!
Fig 9: Identifying PCCB Surface Roughness (Rk) = 108 Micrometers
2. 3.2. Surface roughness Rk = 72 μm. Borderline brake disc detected based on

roughness, as well as wear indication and connected surface fractures -arrows- , >
1 cm2 .

THICKNESS
Information
For perforated brake discs, the minimum thickness -X- must always be measured on the inner or
outer friction surface track -arrows- .

gauge at the inner and outer friction surface tracks -arrows- .

BRAKE DISCS (WEAR ASSESSMENT) > CHECKING BRAKE DISCS FOR EDGE
DAMAGE
Information
Irrespective of wear, a brake disc change may be necessary due to edge damage on the brake
disc friction surfaces.
In such cases, only one brake disc may need to be replaced if the friction surface of the other
PCCB brake disc is still perfectly OK.
