Ensure your Porsche 911 (997 generation Turbo / GT2 all-wheel-drive models) maintains its factory-spec AWD performance with this genuine OEM control module. This module governs the transfer case and AWD logic, managing front/rear torque distribution, sensor input and system actuation to deliver Porsche’s intended driving dynamics and safety.

What This Product Does:
- This control unit monitors sensors (such as speed sensors, yaw, wheel slip) and drives actuators in the transfer case/all-wheel-drive system to engage/disengage or regulate power to the front axle, manage slip conditions, and ensure the AWD system works correctly under various driving conditions.
- It ensures the system behaves safely and according to Porsche’s tuning — when you accelerate, brake, corner or change surface grip, the module governs how the front/rear torque split is controlled, reducing slip, enhancing stability and performance.
- Without a properly functioning module, the mechanical AWD system cannot respond correctly to driver input or sensor feedback, which may lead to reduced performance, warning lights, or even drive-mode lock-out.
Symptoms & Signs Of A Faulty Module:
- The AWD/4WD warning light or malfunction indicator on the dash related to drive-system faults.
- The vehicle’s front axle or AWD system not engaging (or engaging incorrectly) — e.g., rear-wheel drive only when there should be full-time AWD, or unusual behaviour when cornering.
- Erratic behaviour from the AWD system: slipping, traction control light, inconsistent grip, or possible front-drive disengagement.
- Fault codes logged in the vehicle’s diagnostic system referencing the module part number or transfer case sensor/actuator circuits.
- Especially following replacement of differential, transfer case or front driveshaft components — if the module was disturbed, removed or failed, replacing it may restore proper operation.
Why Replacement Matters:
- System integrity: The AWD system is a core performance and safety component on Porsche 911 Turbo/GT2 models. A faulty module compromises stability, traction and the intended driving dynamics.
- Avoids further damage: If the module fails and the AWD system operates incorrectly (or remains locked/unlocked), mechanical parts (transfer case, driveshafts, clutches) may be overstressed or damaged over time.
- Simplified installation: A genuine module means plug-and-play compatibility, less risk of coding issues, fewer diagnostic headaches, and quicker return to correct AWD functionality.

Electronic
Control Units (ECUs) – Precision Performance and Reliability for Porsche
Vehicles
Electronic Control Units (ECUs) are the brains
of your Porsche’s electronic systems, managing and monitoring everything from
engine performance to fuel delivery, ignition timing, transmission response,
and emissions control. These highly sophisticated modules communicate with
multiple sensors and actuators to ensure your car runs efficiently, safely, and
smoothly under all driving conditions.
At Design911, we supply a wide range of genuine and high quality ECUs for Porsche models - including engine control units, transmission control modules, body control units, and more. Each ECU is manufactured to the highest standards, ensuring exact compatibility and seamless communication with your vehicle’s electronic architecture.
What Do Electronic Control Units Do?
An ECU acts as the central processor of
a vehicle’s system, interpreting data from sensors and adjusting performance
parameters in real-time. Depending on the application, ECUs can control:
- Engine management: fuel injection, ignition timing, turbo boost, and air-fuel ratios.
- Transmission systems: shift points, torque converter lock-up, and gear selection.
- ABS and traction control: maintaining grip and stability.
- Body systems: lighting, climate control, and interior functions.
Modern Porsche vehicles often contain multiple ECUs working together across a CAN bus network, ensuring optimal efficiency, emissions compliance, and driver comfort.
Why Do ECUs
Fail?
Electronic Control Units are robust, but can
fail due to age, environmental factors, or electrical faults. Common causes
include:
Symptoms of ECU failure may include engine misfires, warning lights, poor performance, stalling, or failure to start.
Why replace
your ECU?
A faulty ECU can cause unpredictable
performance, poor fuel economy, and safety concerns. Replacing a malfunctioning
unit restores the precision and reliability your Porsche was built to deliver.
Benefits of replacing with a quality ECU
include:
- Full compatibility with vehicle systems.
- Restored factory performance and efficiency.
- Elimination of warning lights and diagnostic faults.
- Improved reliability and drivability.
