I've got a temperamental ***** for a PCM. It's the 3rd one that's been in this car, and it is JUST out of warranty. The problem is: The PCM froze on the trip computer screen, stuck on one radio station, and NONE of the buttons work. However, the knob wheels work. So I can adjust the volume, but I can't turn the PCM off. I can scroll though the menu, but can't select anything. I've been through the gambit of cutting power to the PCM in hopes to "reset" it. I've disconnected the battery. Disconnected the battery, and the fuse for the PCM. I've disconnected the battery, bridged the positive and negative cables, and removed the fuse. I've done all but take out the PCM and put it in solitary confinement far from the car and it's power source. The last PCM was installed Oct. 2008, so it was already loaded with the newest software update for these PCM's. Can the PIWIS get into the PCM and do a soft reset, or is the whole PCM going to have to be replaced again? (the dealer's only course of action) Does anyone have a line on a company that rebuilds or refurbs these units? Or are there any alternatives to replacing the whole module? The 997 GT3 Cup cars never have this problem..... Thanks!
