The sequence of described steps is must be observed to avoid consequential damage.
1) Preparation of the test program
Connect battery charger.
Switch off all unnecessary
consumers (ventilation, seat
heating, light, etc.) . Note: If Bluetooth has not been switched off, the communication also takes place via
Bluetooth despite connected cable.
Switch off Bluetooth on the
diagnostic tester. Connect the
diagnostic tester with an USB
cable to the vehicle.

Note: A replacement of the dual clutch is only effective after successfully calibrating
the valves (point 5).

5) Calibrate valves
This step ensures the optimal operation of the valves!
Connect battery charger.
Switch off all unnecessary
consumers (ventilation, seat
heating, light, etc.) . Note: If Bluetooth has not been switched off, the communication also takes place
via Bluetooth despite connected cable.
Switch off Bluetooth on the
diagnostic tester. Connect the
diagnostic tester with an USB cable
to the vehicle.

- Start "J217 – gearbox function
check"
After calibrating the valves send the diagnosis log online.
Continue the repair with point 6)
Note: "The calibration of the cooling oil valve is abandoned“
a) Check whether all the conditions of the calibration have been fulfilled (for
example temperature range)
b) point 6) and 7) of the repair instructions.
c) If the vehicle is then correct, a retrospective calibration of the cooling oil
valve is not necessary and the vehicle can be returned to the customer.
Important:
The basic settings (reset 1 calibration of driving mode sensor, 2 calibration of distance sensors, 3 adaptation of clutch
biting points and 4 kick-in point of gear actuator) do not replace the calibration of the valves (clutch valves N436/N440
and cooling oil valve N471).

A vehicle must not be driven without calibrated clutch valves.
6) Check the dual clutch
Check the dual clutch
Note: In the selection menu start again the dual clutch check to confirm the determined
value and to find out the further procedure.

Note: Perform a complete adaptation drive. Make sure to observe the traffic rules and
the road safety.
