Looks like mine when I got it from auction.

Two airbags were bad, the rear hydraulic antiroll bar line was blown and the pump was trashed and I had a list like this. Keep plugging, you'll get it done!

I would clear all the codes and then drive the car and see what comes back.

What scan tool are you using?

I'm using a Foxwell NT710.  I wonder if my gateway control unit has a problem?

It would be best to use a Posche specific scanner like Durametric or PIWIS before jumping to expensive conclusions.

I don't think I have ever seen a Gateway fail that was not damaged by accident or water intrusion.

I thought my scanner was specifically made for Porsche." FOXWELL NT710 fit for Porsche Scan Tool Diagnostic Scanner, Upgraded NT510 Full System OBD2 Scanner Code Reader Bidirectional Control All Maintenance Services Oil Reset ABS Bleed SRS EPB BMS DPF ETC "  What do you think???

Foxwell, Autel, and many others have persistently offered "Porsche" specific models, "BMW" models, "Merecedes" models. etc., with claimed "factory level" diagnostics that always seem to turn out to be "available in a future subscription update" that never seems to materialize. We have had salespeople bring their hardware into the shop for years, and we have always sent them packing because it never could do what is needed almost every day in the shop.  If you want factory level diagnostic capabilities, "you gets what you pays for............."

 

And Loren is correct, gateways are not prone to fail without a reason

Thanks for the info. Do you think the Durametric Enthusiast kit is good enough?

Yes. That should work fine if you only have one Porsche.
