    Your fault is in your PCM (Porsche Communication Management). This the NAV unit in your front dash. It has almost nothing to do with the ECU (also known as DME) which is your engine control computer (mounted under the carpet under your rear window). To diagnose anything further on your PCM2 - other than a loose/broken cable -- you will likely need a PST or PIWIS tester.

    Do you mind if I ask why you need both?
  4. Loren
    If you look at Porsche's database there are some option codes that have no explanation next to them.

    I would still pull those two plugs and have a look at them. Check the coil pack and cables while you are there.

    Product of the 997 gen 2 begins this month - so many more pics will be coming. New engine, and optional 7 speed PDK transmission. Bigger brakes. Bi-Xenon standard. Mechanical limited-slip rear differential (optional I believe) Yet another new PCM.

    What model and model year would you like? (996 or 997)
  9. Loren
    :lol: I've never done that.... :blush:
  10. Loren
    Try 9110 or 9108
  11. Loren
    How long have you run the car since the new AOS? It may take awhile to burn off the oil that has gotten into the intake and fouled the spark plugs. I would pull a plug or two and have a look to see if they are oil fouled.

    What is wrong with your O2 sensors? Nothing here points to an O2 sensor problem. Cleaning the throttle body has been covered here many times. It is not too hard.
  13. Loren
    I assume that is a P0140 If so... P0140 Oxygen sensor behind catalytic converter, open circuit Possible fault causes - Fault in the oxygen sensor heater, if this exists, is to be taken care of first - Loose contact or corrosion in the connector - Open circuit in the signal leads - Open circuit in ground lead - Oxygen sensor faulty - DME control module faulty

    P0430 TWC Conversion, Bank 2 – Above Limit You can likely fix your idle with a good throttle body cleaning. For the P0430 you need to check the O2 sensor before and after cat voltages. Compare the good side (bank 1) with the bad side (bank 2). This code is signs of a bad (or going bad) catalytic converter. With 107k not too surprising. The O2 sensor voltages should tell you for sure. I would clear the code and see if it comes back - cats are not cheap.

    Thanks again, juniinc! I took a look at the fuse layout tonight, and there was none specifically assigned to the passenger-side visor mirror light. The driver's side visor lights still work fine. In this case, I don't think it's the fuse problem. I've read Loren's explanation on removing the visor and also took a look my visor mirror insert assembly. Still not sure how to get it out though, and since it's pretty dark already, I don't think I dare try to pry out anything right now without risking the chance of breaking something. I wish Loren posted some pictures along with his explanation. Bunch of pics in this thread: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=1512

    Fault code 9114 PCM2 timeout (if control unit coded) Possible cause of fault - PCM2 in production mode. - Due to a faulty component, the PCM2 system has switched off or is faulty Does your PCM work? If not, then make sure everything is properly plugged in. If it does work it could be a fault that has since been corrected and the fault was not reset. In that case just clear the fault and see if it comes back.

    Try 6483 or 6381 Hi Loren, I tried both but it did not worked. I am able to obtained additional info; R3297 W 5011 804 Many thanks, Linh Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  18. Loren
    Model and year of car -- and wire colors please. Most likely someone might have had the airbag disable bar for the child seat.
  19. Loren
    I'll have to leave this one to the Boxster folks... Perhaps a picture of the problem would help?
  20. Loren
    100 Time Units is one hour. So 1 TU is 0.6 minutes, or 36 seconds.

    Sat radio

    Loren replied to Ziff's topic in 997 TT, 997 GT2

    :lol: NAV-TV says that product has an MSRP of $899.00 and Suncoast is selling it for $899.95
  22. Loren
    Try 6483 or 6381
  23. Loren
    I don't think so. Removing the front bumper cover is a 15 minute job. It is covered in detail in both the 3rd Radiator DIY and the Gas Flap Lock DIY.
  24. Loren
    hello every one now after have few places check out my car, one said engine is bad and one said transmission, now at the dealer and they say it is the oil separator for $3500 .. any one knows if that is a good price ?? A new AOS is under $200 - even at MSRP! I suggest you get another opinion.
  25. Loren
    Yes, the two factory horns are behind the front bumper and behind the air duct on the right front of the car. I have a 3rd radiator so it it looks a little more crowded than it actually is in there.
