    8 pages in the service manual - without motor removal.And if there is a frame problem - a lot more. Not for the faint of heart...

    The battery is under the drivers seat - so I am pretty sure he means the battery ground.
  3. Loren
    Hmm... with those noises it sounds like a disassemble and see if anything is damaged - sorry.
  4. Loren
    No - I moved it.

    I looked through the parts catalog, but could not locate this module. Any idea what it is called, where it is, and a part number? Thanks!!! Chad If this is a US/Canada 2002 996TT then you need: 99.661.821.902 Switch Unit -- US MSRP $637.59 -- try Sunset Imports (Porsche parts at Dealer Cost) for better pricing. This control unit controls the driver, passenger and side airbags for that year.

    Did you try re-training it. Hold button force close and then hold and additional 10 seconds. Do the same for close and see if the 1 touch is restored. Common if you disconnected or replaced the battery.

    Your exact fault codes please? Exact same as top of the post: 3 Supply Voltage 195 Control Module Faulty Thanks! Fault codes above 100 Possible cause of fault - Triggering unit for airbag faulty Note: Fault codes 100 and higher are internal control module faults. The stored faults cannot be erased. Looks like a bad control module.

    Mine covers all years with the supplements. It does not change for MY02-05. One or two degrees would not make any difference anyway. Please do a search here - people that had similar problems replaced wither the relay or the ballast resister.

    Your exact fault codes please?

    Mine came from the Porsche 996 Carrera Service Manual.

    Electric fan, speed 1 (low speed) Coolant temperature higher than 96.75° C or air conditioning switched on. Electric fan, speed 2 (high speed) Coolant temperature > 102° C or air-conditioning fluid pressure switch closed (coolant pressure > 16 bar). I would try one new ballast resister and see if that fan works. There is a DIY here

    Sorry, that is wrong. The alarm/central locking is under the drivers seat. The DME is behind the service panel between the top storage and the engine. Modscars has a pictorial of how to get to the top controller that will also get you to the DME here. Look at step 6 -- the DME is the silver box at the far right (passenger side of the car).

    Sorry but 24 HP from a different air cleaner? I think Porsche would have thought of that. Headers, air intake, and a software program might get you that much - but then you are out $2500 or more for less than 30 HP. Folks you are not going to get much more out of the normally aspirated Porsches without spending thousands of dollars. If you want a lot more horsepower - trade up to a turbo.

    This is where a PST2 or PIWIS tester is very handy. With one of those testers you can test each circuit individually to narrow the problem down. You can also view the temperature the sensor is seeing. So rather than trial and error you reduce the number possibilities and narrow the problem down. If you swapped relays and problem stayed where it was then the relays are fine and the problem is in the other part(s) of the circuit.

    Do a search here - there are two horns behind the front bumper and a relay. The horns are not very good and tend to just fail. Testing and alternate horns can be found with a search.
  17. Loren
    If the problem is intermittent then the fault could be 'pending' - and not all scanners can detect pending faults.

    "The engine temperature sensor is a double NTC, i.e. there are two resistors in the sensor housing. The plug contact is new. One temperature resistor (resistance can be measured between contact 2 and 3 in the plug housing) supplies the signal used to display the coolant temperature on the instrument cluster. The other temperature resistor (can be measured' between contact 1 and 4 in the plug housing) informs the DME control unit of the coolant temperature. The signal from the temperature sensor is used by the control unit • to calculate the injection signal during the warm-up phase • to enrich the mixture when the engine is started • to determine the ignition angle in the warm-up phase • to control the electric fans. The engine temperature sensor is located in the coolant duct housing." Item 2 in the diagram below.

    Try 9518 or 9516 If you have not already read this FAQ - please do so... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST Thanks for your reply! but is there any other code? Those did work for me and I tried both codes atleast 5 times. Thanks so much! Didn't read the FAQ did you?
  20. Loren
    Yes, a bad MAF can cause the PSM and ABS lights to come on.
  21. Loren
    I seriously doubt a DME error unless someone has re-programmed the DME. Is there any sign that someone re-wired the fans. Some people have 'hacked' the fans with a bypass so they always run fast (I personally do not think this a good idea).
  22. Loren
    The only difference between low speed and high speed is that there is a ballast resistor in the circuit for low speed. Still it would seem odd that both would fail at the same time.
  23. Loren
    Perhaps have look at the throttle body again and see if it is gummed up again.
  24. Loren
    If you have the Durametric software and 1 set of fans does not run then there should be fault codes.
  25. Loren
    Yes, did you drain the excess out? If not, it will just happen again. Overfilling can cause other problems too.
