Odd DTC Format, need help with some codes


Recommended Posts

1999 C2 996, (p.s. this was not my car)

Pulled the following codes from a car using Durametric 6.1.x and two different cables. (I can get exact version later).

I think I remember seeing (Porshce) to OBD2 code conversion somewhere, but haven't had time to research that yet. Perhaps these are Porsche codes, not OBD2???

Here's what I pulled from the computer, and I can't make heads or tails of the numbers anywhere (although the text that Durametric provided makes sense, the code numbers do not to me). Maybe this is a bug?

Stored codes:

C0103, Camshaft sensor bank 1 Short to B+

P3015, Camshaft adjustment bank 1

C0013, Camshaft position with respect to crankshaft bank 1 exceeds limit value

C1504, Tank vent system (major leak) below limit value

After clearing the codes, and running the engine at idle and then 3000 rpm, more codes appeared:

P0201 Mass air flow sensor short circuit/open circuit (airbox is out, to be expected)

P1201 Intake air temp. sensor (airbox is out, to be expected)

C0013 Camshaft position with respect to crankshaft bank 1 exceeds limit value

C0103 Camshaft sensor bank 1 Short to B+

(fyi I am pretty sure this is a bad variocam actuator, but it is curious these code numbers above do not make any sense ot me).

25 degrees bank 1

3 degrees bank 2

TIA!!!
