I have codes c190 and c152 (checked with Durametric software and counterfeit cable). After erasing, they come back. There's nothing wrong with the car (its 08 997 turbo 6 sp), no warning lights on dashboard. What do those codes mean and how serious are they?

Thanks,
George

Doesn't the Durametric screen tell you what the fault code is?

What's a counterfiet cable? Maybe that's the problem.

'C' OBD codes are chassis systems related.

'C' codes in the range of C0XXX are ISO/SAE controlled.

My info is:

C0152 = right hand traction control selonoid/motor #1 circuit malfunction.
C0190 = lateral accelerometer circuit open.

Assuming I'm right these codes point to a problem with the traction control system. The seriousness of these I can't say but the wrong time to find out the error codes are serious is if when you need traction control or stability control only to find out one or both systems do not work.

My advice is to take the car to a qualified shop for professional diagnosis.

Sincerely,

Macster.

Yes, it did, but I didnt write it down. From what I remember c190 was is PASM section and had something to do with instrument cluster, c152 was in airbag section ant it was something like "meldung timeout PSM". In other post on Rennlist I found translation of this c152- it means “Communications timeout with PSM”, another fault that is normally caused by disconnecting the battery. But I didnt disconnect the battery, and after erasing, it keeps coming back. For c190 there is no information available.

I checked for codes again, and they are back:

PSM(ABS8)
C190
Fault instrument cluster

POSIP(Airbag)
C152
Meldung timeout PSM
Steuergeraet

This is exactly as been shown on Durametric software. Any ideas?
