Door lock question


Recommended Posts

I recently replaced my left door lock on my 2000 base Boxster.  The window was not dropping all the time when I opened and closed the door.  That problem is gone.  Now I'm having alarm issues.  The car beeps at me saying something is wrong when I press the remote and here is what Durametric says.  I tried disconnecting the battery and no luck.  The erase button is greyed out so I cant clear it.  Do I need to dismantle the original door lock and swap out something inside?

First of all, that version of Durametric qualifies as an antique and dates to August 2008, the current version is 6.6.3.5, so, I would start by updating the software.

 

Second, most of these codes are communications issues, I would clear all of them and then see what comes back.

Your software version is so old, you may be in for a surprise if it is one of the Chinese knockoffs that were widely sold cheaply online:

 

  • "First generation cables were sold through February 2008. Cables sold after February 2008, with very few exceptions, are second-generation cables.
  • The cables with a box in the middle of the wire are first generation cables and are not compatible with version 6.
  • Cables with the electronics inside the 16-pin OBDII connector can be either first or second generation cables:
  • If the cable has the LED light on the side that reads "for use on: PORSCHE," then it is a second generation interface cable and it is compatible with version 6.
  • If the cable has the LED light on the side that reads "Enthusiast Version" or "Professional Version," then it is a first generation cable and it is not compatible with version 6.
  • Customers with first generation cables can upgrade to second generation cables for $150 USD (shipping and updated accessories additional).
  • For more information about why we are not supporting the first generation interfaces and details about upgrading a 1st-generation cable, see our Upgrade FAQ"
