Thanks for reply Loren. I'd been to have another look, & came away puzzled by 'pin52' as none of the connectors go up that far. So is pin 52 on a DME strip?
Fault code I've got is P1531. The solenoid works, & is getting 12V when the ignition is on. Someone sent me the the diagnostic procedure, hence I was trying the next step...... :huh: So I presume a break-out box 'exposes' the DME connections?
cheers

Variomatic Ground Trigger Wire Testing
in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Posted
Thanks for the info guys.......no way I'm going to try to acquire one. When I get this fixed (when......... ) the car will be up for sale as I've bought an old 911.
It's most likely I have an actuator fault, but I need to try to rule it out. Does Porsche specify the ground wire test because the DME can go faulty, or is it a 'faulty wire' type fault.
I don't really understand how the system works, is it the DME just making a connection to ground & where is the ground point it goes to? In the trunk or a distance away?
I understand that sometimes the DME 12V supply goes faulty, has anyone heard that the ground-switching does?
