The manufacturer claims over 19 active tests depending on the system and vehicle, including:

• activating the ABS pump,
• controlling window lifters,
• activating the fuel pump,
• controlling injectors,
• controlling the EGR valve,
• opening the throttle,
• activating radiator fans,
• testing transmission solenoids.

The range of active tests depends on the specific model, year, and ECU configuration.

• POR V4.0 – 5″ touchscreen, Wi-Fi, active tests, and Porsche + the ability to add 2 additional brand groups.

POR V3.0 is the generation that introduces full bi-directional control and significantly expanded service functions while maintaining a compact housing with physical buttons.

Who is iCarsoft POR V3.0 Intended For?

• for Porsche car owners,
• for advanced users servicing their own vehicles,
• for mechanics and diagnosticians,
• for independent workshops specializing in Porsche,
• for dealerships and car trading companies,
• for individuals checking a vehicle before purchase,
• for users needing active tests and adaptations without purchasing a large workshop tablet.

Basic Operation Step by Step

1. Connect the tester to the vehicle's 16-pin OBDII socket.
2. Turn on the ignition.
3. Use AutoVIN or select the vehicle manually.
4. Start scanning available controllers.
5. Read fault codes and Live Data parameters.
6. Before clearing, save DTC and Freeze Frame.
7. If necessary, perform an active test, adaptation, calibration, or service function.
8. After repair, clear errors and rescan the vehicle.

Important Compatibility Information

The range of available diagnostic, service, adaptation, and active test functions depends on the specific model, year, target market, equipment, and ECU configuration.

Not every one of the 26 service functions or every active test is available in every vehicle. We recommend checking compatibility based on the model, year, and VIN before purchase.

Lack of automatic recognition by AutoVIN does not automatically mean lack of compatibility – the vehicle can be selected manually.

Clearing a fault code does not remove the physical cause of the fault. If the problem persists, the fault may reappear.
