    Where is that TSB??? My car did some big puffs of blue oil smoke when starting over this weekend fo rthe FIRST time in 5000 mi that I've owned it. Was parked ona a monor incline, mostly front higher than rear. Bob The TSB was for Carrera's. TSB 1/02 1716 Blue Smoke from the Engine During High Transverse Acceleration -- dated May 10, 2002

    I would have to guess - knowing the color code of the wires and how many might help...

    The hoses, pump, and tank are in the left front wheel well. It is pretty easy to take the wheel well liner off and see what is leaking. You will need to remove the left front tire too.

    Item 10, I do not think it can be replaced by itself.

    The storage bin fits where the CD tray or Cassette tray (or I have been told where the radio is). Storage bin is: 996.552.253.01.01C -- US MSRP $35.81

    Loren would be able to replace the buckle, Before I removed the seat I had to unplug the electric clip that controls the seat, could that have anything to do with it? None of the testers that I know of at Autozone can reset airbag lights. You can only reset an airbag light with the Durametric software, a PST2 or PIWIS tester. I had this exact same problem today. I removed the drivers side seat to get to the fried module underneath, and when I put everything back together, I had the airbag light on. I discovered I did not have the electrical connector for the seat properly connected, but after correcting this, the light is still on. I also disconnected the battery, but that did not clear it. Does that mean it will stay on until reset by one of the methods described above? The Durametric software, a PST2, or PIWIS will tell you exactly what turned the light on - and allow you to turn it off once the problem has been fixed.

    You will need the Durametric software, a PST2, or PIWIS tester to read the alarm fault codes. Most Porsche independent shops have at least one of these.
  14. Loren
    That does not exist - you would need to make your own.

    The ICV should turn freely and not be all gummed up. It is a solenoid so you can put 12 volts to it and see/hear if it actuates. I have seen them so sticky they won't move and I have also seen bad solenoids.

    Those shots were taken on my PST2 using the Instrument cluster Actual Values. If you cover the sensor in the cluster it should change dramatically - likewise if you shine a flashlight at it.
  19. Loren
    That means you have an "open" alarm zone. A working alarm does not beep at all.
  20. Loren
    It is a different circuit depending on whether you have the rain sensor option (M265) or not. Do you have this option?

    :welcome: Your dealer needs to brush up on his service bulletins. If you go to our TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) page for the Cayenne (here) and do a search for PCM it will come back with 20 TSBs for PCM systems. Updates, installs, and of course fixes for problems. Our Contributing Members here can read these TSBs here online. Your dealer should put their PIWIS tester on the car and check for PCM/MOST fault codes. They can test and diagnose the system with the tester too.

    There is a sensor that looks at ambient light to control the cluster brightness. If you have a PST2, PIWIS, or Durametric software you should be able to test the sensor.
  23. Loren
    Try 8518 or 8516

    As Richard Hamilton said "You really need to get a diagnostic check done with a PST2, PIWIS, or Durametric and see what fault codes come up." These testers will tell you exactly what is wrong - no guessing.
  25. Loren
    Things to look at: 1. Check the ground wire from the engine to chassis (near the spark plugs it is on the right side of the car on a Carrera but I don't remember which side on a Boxster). 2. If the car was outside there is a chance the alarm box (under the drivers seat) got wet. To check, disconnect the battery; remove the drivers seat and remove and open the box looking for water damage.
