I got a Durametric today and am slightly disapointed that the codes are somewhat meaningless - but thought the logging and option to turn off cylinders for diagnosis well cool :)

Anyway I had loads of engine codes but suspect the car hasnt been plugged into porsche diags for years so have cleared them and see how I go

I have the following alarm errors though if anyone could be kind enough to help - UK RHD, 1999 2.5 Boxster Tip

46 Control locking Syncronisation

Status: Not Present

3 times

59 Central Locking limit position

Secure not reached

Status: Not Present

30 times

60 Central locking limit position

Lock not reached

Status: Not Present

21 times

for reference it is probably about 30 locks since I reconnected the battery at weekend. the remotes dont work and how do you actually reset alarm codes ? is it a battery/ fuse pull

(Incidentally I did scan for codes on the forum but didnt see anything relevant to me) and no water or corrosion on box

I am not sure what you mean about "meaningless codes". They are Porsche fault codes.

Those are common (but not usually fatal faults). Have you tried clearing them and then see if they come back?

By meaningless I mean knowing I have a 59 is pretty pointless to me - if I knew 59 meant the limit switch had failed on the pass door or trunk i could do something about it - if i still have to take it to porsche to truly know what a 59 is i could of saved $250

how do I actually clear the codes - the durametric is greyed out for the 986

I did have the ignition switch problem so it may all be to do with that - the alarms seemed a lot livelier after I fixed that
