Alarm codes


Recommended Posts

I got a CEL and was getting the fault codes with my Durametric. As it has been a long time since I did any code reading I checked all the fault codes and besides the P1126 for the CEL I got 3 Alarm codes whose meaning I can't seem to find. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

49 KLEAD ?

33 Interior Sensor Faulty

21 w lead DME Immobilizer

Thanks in advance for your consideration. Ed

Settle down folks...

Fault code 21 - W lead (DME - immobiliser), open circuit

Possible cause of fault

- Short circuit to ground/open circuit in the communication lead between the alarm system control module and the DME control module

Fault code 33 - Passenger compartment: monitoring sensor faulty

Possible cause of fault

- Passenger compartment monitoring faulty

Fault code 49 - Klead

Possible cause of fault

- K lead connected to ground for at least 2 seconds after ignition is switched on

Have you checked to see if the alarm control box (under the left front seat) got wet?

So I neglected to add Boxster to the 1998 part, and you neglected to be human. I guess we are now even

I am sorry, I suppose you have difficulty with reading (this response delivered from a computer)...so what's up with the personal attack?

lighten up and please respect the posted guidelines....for your assistance:

It is really helpful if you list:

· Model year

· Model/Engine (i.e. Boxster 2.5, Boxster 2.7, Boxster S, Boxster S Special Edition, etc.)

· Transmission type (i.e. 5 speed, 6 speed or Tiptronic)

· Interior color (when relevant)

· Country specific information (LHD, RHD, RoW, US, Canada)

That was the first thing that I checked and the rug didn't seem wet, nor was there any signs of corrosion inside the box. I don't seem to be having any troubles. Is there something that I should do or just clear the codes and see if they return. Thanks for the information. Ed
