Does anyone know of any modern scan tools that will do the same function on a 944S? A friend of mine has a PIWIS and a lead that will connect to my DME, but he hasn't ever tried connecting up to a 944 before. Seems it could be worth my while giving it a go if I can find a Hammer, or a modern equivalent. I have read a few times now that people have chased idle issues on the S or S2, and also 964's it seems, and finding that the only thing that put the idle right was to run a 'System Adaptation' using the Bosch Hammer. I have checked most parts of the system that I could see affecting the idle, only thing left to replace are the plugs (within service mileage but looking dirty) and HT leads. It is fine once even remotely warm, and very good once up to temp, apart from some minor hunting. The PIWIS I/II looks just like the KTS 650 except that it is grey instead of green.Īfter fiddling around with my 944S, and finding a few minor 'issues', but no major faults I still have a poor cold idle.

PIWIS also integrates repair manual information into the diagnostic tester. Porsche Integrated Workshop Information System (PIWIS) / KTS-650: Is similar to the PST2 but also supports CAN-BUS vehicles. The PST2 and the KTS-500 are no longer available. The PST2 is based on the Bosch KTS-500 computer system but uses Porsche specific software that is not available on the KTS-500. Porsche System Tester 2 (PST2) / KTS-500: Introduced in 1997 for Porsche dealers to service the 986 and 996 model cars, though the Porsche System Tester 2 (PST2) is capable of diagnosing all models since the 928. The factory Porsche card module offers the most functionality. The KTS-300 uses card modules for different makes of vehicles. Porsche 9288/Bosch KTS-300/301 AKA 'Hammer': This second generation tool was used on C2, C4, and 968. This device was used to diagnose Porsche 928. Porsche 9268 LH and EZK: The original diagnostic tool. The PIWIS should eliminate the need for a PST2 but one may still need the KTS-300/301 for the earliest applications. The PST2 is backward applicable to OBDI but doesn't do some AC and Airbag issues on early cars covered by KTS-300/301. Preceding the PST2 was the Porsche 9288/Bosch KTS-300/301 (aka 'Hammer' or 'Pocket System Tester') works on cars to 1995 but doesn't do everything. Prior to that the Porsche PST2 which was introduced in 1997 and ended in 2005 was actually a KTS-500, however the PST2 was slightly altered and colored differently than the KTS-500.

Porsche Integrated Workshop Information System (PIWIS) scan tool works with the latest and legacy vehicles, it's equipped with a Panasonic Toughbook laptop. Porsche refer to this tester as the 9288. Q: You mentioned the early 9268 tester was superseded by the KTS 300 “Hammer”? A: Yes, just a year later in 1989, Bosch produced for Porsche a version of their KTS 300 tester, which was known as the KTS301, with special diagnostic software for the Porsche ECUs.
