Launch X431 Enables Porsche Macan Emergency Brake Flashing

I installed a flasher on my 2022 Macan GTS 3rd brake. The brake light would flash 2 times but then go dark and create an error message on the dash. This is called emergency brake light. Can be activated via PIWIS or Launch X431 V+ / Pros Mini coding. All rear lights flash when an acceleration (de-acceleration) parameter is met. The default parameters are when you are doing a speed above 70mph and experience a de acceleration of 0.81G’s, the rear lights (both brake lights and 3rd light) will flash. I activated in mine and modified parameters so that it activated at any speed above 3 km/h and de-acceleration of 0.71G’s. For the Macan the setting is in rear end electronics. Once you turn that option on. Set this option to 1 sec and leave everything this else as is from factory.   I also enabled emergency brake flashing on 991.1, same process as the Macan.

Launch X431 V+ Review on Sprinter 907 2019

I thought it would be a good idea to let everyone know about this   Launch X431 V+ pro   scan tool I originally bought a year or so ago mostly for working on non Sprinter related things like used cars at work, family vehicles, my own stuff. My Launch x431 V Pro will clear those faults, assuming it’s the ones stored in the airbag module. I use it daily when I need to clear any kind of codes or figure out a simple problem that doesn’t need documents uploaded because I’m always using the   xentry   on something else and only have access to one xentry. The launch v+ has done great on everything I’ve used it on. Oh also free updates for 1 year on the one I bought. Here’s a couple screenshots where I unplugged the Mercedes Sprinter 2019 W907 van driver’s seat SRS connector then cleared the codes. Faults set by unplugging connector Clearing faults Faults cleared When you run a health report, it does detect all control modules as in Xentry. here’s the health report: Most fau...
