May be time to order a Durametric?

2005 C2 coupe 6sp. First time out in the rain so I thought I'd do a "grip check" as I exited the driveway. Two observations: 1) amazingly good grip, 2) lots of momentary dash lights (PSM was on). Any Durametric experts know if momentary dash light illumination like this typically produces codes that could be read via Durametric cable?

 

As an aside, my rain sensing wiper feature wipes more often than I need/like--even at minimum setting. Anyone know if there is a patch for this? Maybe this something that can be altered via Durametric or PIWIS or other?

While the Durametric is always a good buy, it is entirely possible that the momentary PSM activation is nothing more than the direct result of your "grip check".  Sudden yaw motions induced by "dropping the hammer" can activate the sensors in the PSM system, which will turn on the MIL momentarily.

 

While the Durametric system can do a lot of things, I do not believe it can recode your rain sensor system wipe frequency.  Coding at that level requires a PIWIS, and even then some things are pre set parameters that cannot be altered.

For the wipers, try cleaning the sensor area really well. This sometime helps 'over enthusiastic' wipers!

There have also been reports of wiring from something like a radar detector that passes near the sensor throwing it off as well.
