Durametric and alarm system question

[cbonilla]

2003 986S. My central locking system is beeping once when I use the remote to lock the car. One beep, as I understand it, means that the system thinks something is not closed completely.

Can the durametric discover which zone is not showing as closed even if a fault code has not been tripped in the alarm (which as I understand it is two beeps)? If not do I need to find a shop with a PST2 or other Porsche diagnostic machine ? Any leads on indie shops that have such a tool in my area (Washington DC area )?

Thanks

Durametric can do many things a PST2 can but in the case of the Boxster alarm it has limits.

You can check them here

Loren - thank you. My reading of the durametric site you pointed me to seems to indicate that the durametric can't discern an open circuit in the alarm. Next time I go to a dealer I'll have them tell me where the open circuit is. Unless I can find an indie shop with an official Porsche tool

Thanks again.
