You’ll be performing a periodic calibration of the PDK going forward. It is required that PDK fluid is changed for calibration. Hence, you’ll be performing this PDK clutch calibration after a fluid change.

Users can run the entire PDK calibration routine successfully usingOTOFIX D1 Lite/D1/D1 Pro/D1 Maxseries and Autel bidirectional scanners.

Here is the user working exepeince on Porsche Macan PDK calibration with OTOFIX. This process is also available in DIY tools like Launch X431 and Autel (IM608, MS906 etc. MD808 Pro does not have the ability to perform a PDK calibration).

OTOFIX is the least expensive scanner that can do a PDK and TC reset calibration. These are manufactured by Autel and powered by Autel software. These are less expensive than Autel and equally capable. Quality of hardware is very good.

Perform the following three transmission calibration steps with OTOFIX D1 Lite, which is an impressive little bit of kit, and well worth the investment if you DIY your Macan (or other vehicles).
A full PDK Calibration includes
(1) Calibration of the selector level position and transmission range sensor
(2) Calibration of the distance sensors
(3) Adaptation of the clutch bite points

OTOFIX is able to perform all three of the above tasks on a 2015 Macan S.

The one bit of info we’d like to add to performing Step 1, which caught ypu out the first two times I attempted it, is when you execute theP ► R ► N ► Dgear selector sequence, it must be executed fairly quickly, otherwise it will abort the process and give you an ERROR message, so keep a keen eye on the prompts, move decisively and the calibration will take place as designed.

Also, shifts were noticibly improved on my post calibration test drive.

He chose the second option (Calibration after replacement of mechatronic components), which does all three in succession. The last step requires the fluid to be between 40-60°C, so you should be good where you were, unless you crept over 60°C.

With the D1 Lite, he was able to perform:
Transfer Case Service
PDK Clutch Calibration
PDK Gear Calibration

The D1 Lite can also read transmission temps which you will need for the PDK fluid change and reset all the services. TBF, the AP200 which is $50, also does that too but can’t do any of the calibrations.
