Fault Code Help???
Today we had a PPI done on a 2014 50th Anniv 911 Carrera S we are looking at purchasing.
The car’s in PA and we're in Kansas City. The shop is an independent, primarily air cooled, shop. They “said” they could handle a PPI on a water cooled car. Clearly I’m disappointed in what I got. We spoke in the afternoon and they said the car is a very very nice 4200 mile example but it was throwing off 3 fault codes that they weren’t able to decipher. They don’t have the “Porsche” fact equip. They said they put a email out to the mfgr of the equip but haven’t heard back. I called my local shop and gave them the codes and they couldn’t decipher either as they use Porsche approved equip. So, I’m reaching out here. I don’t know the mfgr of the equip they are using, yet. Here are the instrument cluster fault codes - 4142/102e, 9774/262e and 8494/212e. ANY help would be appreciated.
TIA

If the car is anywhere near Pittsburgh, I can highly recommend Sewickley Porsche, and their Service Manager, Duane Smith.

Duane has decades of Porsche experience, and the shop preps many local cars for HPDE and Club Racing.
He knows me and can assist in this diagnosis

rnl, GT & duxsi, thanks for the replies. The car is in West Chester, but will be heading to KC by week's end. Once I get it I'll take it to the dealer for a complete "piece of mind" service and have them scan for the codes. It is CPO'd thru 12/2021 so hopefully anything needing repairs should be covered. As duxsi suggested I'll check to see if up to date.
This is our first venture into the water cooled realm.
