I would reset all of those then read the car a day later and see which come back.

Loren,

Some can be reset but not the ones in the alarm.. where do I get a error list. For porsche so i know what to look for . Also some fuses are popped would that cause codes?

[Loren]

They are all in the manuals.

Why bother looking up codes that are likely caused by a battery change or a short circuit?

You will need a PST2 or PIWIS to reset the alarm fault codes.

[clb0099]

Well, the reason why I want to look this codes up is cause they been there for a long time... Hence I wanted to look them up. You had suggested using the Durametric which is what I did and came up with these codes. So that is why I posted them. Do you have a site for the codes. I do not have the manual for it. also I dont want to spend a ton of money at a repair shop and get ripped off when the car is worth like 9k and spend couple of grand cause its a "porsche" , I live in NYC where they like to make people spend their money over minor issues.

[Loren]

All the engine codes are listed here under the DIY Menu -> OBD-II P-Codes

My point on the alarm codes is that something as simple as changing the battery can cause those. In the service manual when disconnecting or changing the battery Porsche says " scan and erase all codes". They do this because disconnecting the battery or changing the battery can cause false codes.

If you clear the codes and drive the car for a day - the codes that come back are real fault codes. I am trying to save you time and worry.

Can anyone tell me what these mean.

This first list is from : alarm unit:

34

Interior sensor faulty

Status: present

Frequency counter: 1

On the alarm unit the only code that is currently present is 34. The frequency counters are the running total of each time they are present. The Durametric Tool cannot erase the counters(not sure about PST2 or PIWIS.)

Do you have any other problems. When my car was parked the car alarm would go off randomly. Upon checking the codes I had an alarm code 23. I determined that I had a faulty interior infared sensor. I replaced the sensor and no more inadvertent alarms. The frequency counter stopped counting at 4 and has been at 4 for 2 years. I also had an Alarm Code 21. For me it has never been present. I'm thinking it might have been an issue for the previous owner.

Here is a screen shot of my Durametric Screen Report just last week.

You replaced interior sensor.. Where is this part? can you give me a part # or and location for it, Thanks. My problems are that my courtesy interior lights and some of dashboard lights do not turn on at night when the headlight switch is in the on position . Also my convertible top does not move unless I have my headlight in the on position. The e-brake is up and its not the brake light switch cause it has been checked... That is why I decided to use my duramteric.

The interior alarm sensor is part # 996.618.210.02- cost about $80.00. You can also try checking your alarm sensor. Make sure the top is up and latched (if top is down insert the red clip), put a window down, set your alarm, and then reach in your car or flash a hand around the interior to activate the infared sensors. If the sensors work your alarm horn will go off.

If you have checked your ignition switch you might want to check your main head light switch. Here is a couple links that might be useful.
