Durametric codes

[capt601]

just scanned my car with the Durametric diag. tool and in the alarm fault codes, it came up with:

33 - no passenger compartment monitoring

60 - central locking limit position locked not reached

any ideas as to how to reset these or exactly what they mean?

thanks

They can only be reset with a PST2 or PIWIS tester.

33 - no passenger compartment monitoring -- Replace passenger compartment monitoring sensor.

60 - central locking limit position locked not reached --

Possible cause of fault

- Central locking switch faulty

- Short circuit to ground/open circuit in wiring between the alarm system control module, central locking switch or door locks

- Driver's/passenger's door lock faulty

- Control module faulty

Most of the troubleshooting tests for fault 60 require more alarm tests using a PST2 or PIWIS tester.

I would not replace that fault 33 passenger compartment monitoring sensor until the tests are run as you could have a bad control module.

Thanks Loren. I'll be taking it to a shop to get it checked with a PST2 this week. Will the PST2 narrow the problem down to what it is, or is it just a general test? and if it is a bad control module - how difficult is it to replace myself.

thanks again.

If you have to replace the control module then the program (with access codes) will need to be transferred with a PST2 or PIWIS. If the transfer fails for some reason then a dealer will need to get an IPAS code from Porsche to program the new module.

What does IPAS stand for?

What are the Z Numbers and Exclusive Numbers displayed on the PST2?

Honestly, these are pretty much garbage faults that can occur during normal operation. You can find them in almost any car if you're looking in the immobilizer fault memory. I would delete them and never give them a second thought.
