Communication PAS Control Module Location

[Uwon]

'06 C2S....Durametric indicates fault U0167 being the "Communication PAS Control Module". I cant find any reference anywhere as to its location. Anybody Know ??? Does it go by another name or acronym in Porsche lingo?
Thanks in advance.

You will need a PIWIS tester to copy the program/codes from your old KESSY/PAS to your new one.

Thanks Loren. First decent information I’ve had. Should have posted here first.

Interesting that I can still lock the car properly but without any chirp. Also the fuel door does not lock which I had assumed to be a faulty actuator. Maybe it’s related to the KESSY/PASS. Thoughts?

The code you threw indicates that the module in question is not communicating with the immobilizer system, hence no chirp or fuel door locking.

Thanks JFP. 
By way of background, which may now be relevant, I was trying to resurrect the DSC controller for the PASM which was not working. I reprogrammed it with no avail, so I reinstalled the the Porsche unit and the Durametric still said that the car was not equipped with PASM. 
In addition, I have had for some time a red “Current Fault Codes” indicator for the Air Conditioning but without any codes appearing. I cannot clear the red indicator. The A/C has been working fine.

May these two issues also be related to the KESSY/PAS and is it dangerous for the car or driver to continue to drive the car?

Thanks in advance.

You may have a coding issue with some of these issues, which will require access to a PIWIS system to evaluate and correct it if that is the issue.

JFP, thanks again for your insight. I’m desperately trying to get an appointment with any one of several Porsche dealerships in the Toronto area for a PIWIS test analysis and will report back on my progress/resolution. These dealerships are all friggin busy this time of year.

Cheers,

Johan
