ABS version

[NewArt1]

I have a fault icon showing in my Durametric ABS section, but there is no fault code. In my search, I found this post from another member: "Just to get back I talked to Owen at Durametric and he nailed the problem down to my 2001 Boxster has the 5.7 version ABS/DSC/PSM instead of the 5.3 version. The year the 5.3 changed to 5.7 was 2002."

This may well be my situation as well. How do I know which version I have?

MY2001 was a change-over year - and some cars with anti-slip/lsd option also got 5.7 ABS.

Best that you read the part number off the hydraulic unit in the front trunk.

Report it here and I will look-up to see which version it is.

Pulled off the cover and found that the unit is a 986.355.755.00 

So I guess this is a 5.3.

So I really don't know why I get that warning symbol but have never had any code associated with it. The symbol doesn't clear either. Everything seems to function normally.

Yes that is a 5.3 ABS system.

 

Could also be a issue with the Durametic software (a bug?).

Make sure you have the latest version and/or check the car with a Porsche PST2, PIWIS, or PIWIS 2 tester.
