Fault code 30 Engine compartment temperature

[demonz]

I did a search, but I cannot find what this means. I have the Durametric, however I am clueless on how to go about rectifying this. I appreciate your help.

Not to place too fine a point on it, but the DME P codes start at P0100..............that said, I think you are refering to the Porsche "FC" code #30 which is the same as a P1157/1158 code, which is either the ECT (engine coolant temp sensor) failure, or a wiring issue involving the ECT..................there is a diagnostic procedure that measures the resistance across the ECT (2.2-2.6 kohms across pins 1 & 2 on the ECT sensor @ 20 C); if it passes, you need to check the ECT sensor harness for a short...................

Porsche DTC 30 is as he states: 'Engine Compartment Temp Sensor'

You have a problem with the wiring or the engine compartment temp sensor itself. To test the wiring, and the sensor:

Pull off the connector (located on the passenger side intake manifold) and measure its resistance across the sensor terminals, it should be 2.4 kohm,. Also check that you have 5V at the sensor by pulling off the connector at the sensor and measuring across the two terminals of the connector with the ignition switch on. Should read 5 V.

Weird the fault code went away..., but now I got a new one. I'll start a new thread.

Thanks guys.
