Can you please help with this, what could be preventing them from bleeding/burping the PDCC? I am getting this Fault every time I drive the car:






Any help/guidance you can provide would be appreciated, thank you in advance
Maybe put your stock box back in for service time?

Yes thats the only option. Swap back in the stock module and bring it back to them so they can properly diagnose.

Agreed. Swap in the stock controller for diagnosis. PDCC is controlled by a completely separate controller yet shares the same fault message on the instrument cluster.

Thank you for chiming in @Tom@TPC Racing

My stock unit is packed up in storage as we are moving. I have no way of getting to it anytime soon. Looks like I am pretty screwed

email local PCA head and see if anyone has a car they’d be willing to loan you the module from

Looking for a preowned 991.1 OEM Suspension controller (with PDCC)

As stated earlier, my PDCC needs to be repaired but I have a DSC Module.

Porsche dealer is unable to burp and calibrate PDCC without OEM suspension Module and my car is stuck at the dealer.

Willing to beg, borrow or Buy your OEM module as long as its works on my car.

My original Module is stuck in a box in the middle of a 10X 20 storage Unit and I have no idea which one of the 200 boxes it may be in.

I hope someone here can help me out

Thank you in Advance

Is there any chance a .2 module would work? I'd be happy to send you mine to use to fix your issue if they are the same.

I will have to check with the dealership. Another member has also graciously offered to help, his car is almost exactly the same as mine. Hoping that will do the trick and will keep you posted.

Thank you!!

I checked and made sure I had mine here. Sounds like you're covered, but I have my OEM module for my 991.1 GTS 4 with PDCC + SPASM. In the Seattle area.

A follow up to what seems to be a resolution to my issue.

An extremely generous member @Porsche911GTS'16 sent me his OEM Module cross country and my dealer was eventually able to burp and refill my PDCC system resulting in my issue being resolved. Thank you so much @Porsche911GTS'16

As if it needs to be restated, DSC simply transforms our cars.

I cannot begin to explain how inferior the car felt and drove on OEM module. I had completely forgotten how the car feels with OEM Module. Bumps and pot holes felt SO harsh, even with PDCC the "sway" from rapid side to side steering input is no where as flat as WITH the DSC.

@Tom@TPC Racing Another reminder what a wonderful and underrated the DSC is

Lastly, cannot thank this community enough. I had multiple offers to borrow OEM Suspension module and frankly couldnt believe how generous our members are.
Thank you All!

Installed my DSC he other day, and I cannot begin to say how much of a change there has been. When I purchased my 991.1, it had the H&R lowering springs and I cannot say how much I hate them. While the look is great, the drive is garbage. The roads in Colorado are trash, and the OE control module and the lowered springs made the ride harsh and unforgiving. Smooth roads were fine, but those are not always easy to find. Hard cornering with lousy roads and that setup were “exciting”, as the balance was upset and something inspiring quickly devolved into a handful. With the DSC unit, it is now almost perfect as a DD type setup. Even with the reduced travel of the lowering springs, and who knows what spring rate, the suspension now allows some true communication and confidence back into the system. Being able to utilize more of the capability of the factory dampers with the DSC is a FANTASTIC upgrade. I also have the RR Racing coil over kit to replace the H&R springs. The coil overs along with the DSC ought to bring out even more to the drive.

Finally got to put some road under the dsc today. I think its made the car a bit more calm and not as jittery. Seems to have smoothed out the ride in all situations. Is this whats to be expected?

For me, for street driving, daily use, yes, that is what I have noticed. And if/when I press the button it gets "firmer", but not bone jarring. However, note that while in a track, others in the thread have confirmed the car handles better and more security at speed/under track loads - I don't track my car so I can't confirm that part. I can only confirm that I love how the car feels for daily use with the dsc module - to me this is how the car should come from the factory.

Cannot tell if you are happy or unhappy with it.
