Alarm Error Codes commented needed

[rsfeller]

OK this is from a Durametric software check. Interestingly enough their so called "link" on error codes that takes you to their web page offers NO solutions. Every error code I had they claimed to not have info on...boo! Durametric screen shot attached.

anyways here is what I pulled on the ABS as the light was one:

Airbag Current Fault

Codes 45 Belt buckle, driver Driver side belt buckle may have been unplugged at some time, check connector to belt recepticle.

46 Belt buckle, driver Driver side belt buckle may have been unplugged at some time, check connector to belt recepticle.

3 Supply voltage This code indicates that the power has been interrupted.

Ok we know the first two (error 45 and 46) are due to the contact issue belt buckles...but what is that voltage supply code (3) about?

Does it go hand in hand with the belt buckle issue?

One question that seems to get mixed comments by make and model. Does having the ABS light on shut off the ABS systems from working? In other words does having this issue with the codes and light turn off the bags if they are NOT at fault?

I was able to clear these codes...but as others have said they will most likly come back on in a day or so. I'll try the contact cleaner fix next!

3 Supply voltage This code indicates that the power has been interrupted.

This just means that the battery was disconnected recently. I think it is just there to warn that perhaps someone was trying to defeat the alarm (except in this case it was likely you or someone else trying to clear codes).

The ABS light simply means that a problem or fault has been detected in the ABS system. It may or may not be working. Did you use the Durametric Software to check for ABS codes?

If the contact cleaner fix does not work then you will need new belt buckles as described in the TSB.

Yes I did use the Durametric software.

I didn't mean ABS I did mean the SRS (air bag) which I think you understood. ABS is 100% OK.

Any ideas why Durametric cannot reset Alarm codes? Is this a Porsche concern with people trying to tamper with stolen vehicles or such?

You will need to ask the Durametric folks.

I have a PST2 and it will reset any code(s) in any model Porsche. Of course it cost more than ten times what the Durametic Software did. ;)
