icarsoft code reading for check engine light
This is for 1 2014 991.1 Carrera S manual. My check engine light went on the other day and I got the engine control fault still possible to drive message. I hooked my icarsoft V2.0 and in the diagnostic mode it found the check engine code (00A016) but would not clear it. I had the ignition on but car was not running - if that matters. How do I find the code that is causing the check engine light on the icarsoft device. I searched but could not find any specific help. I'm sure its my non-tech savvy fault.
Appreciate any help.

Near as I can tell that's literally the code for "the dash is saying check engine" and should be accompanied by the code(s) making the light turn on.
You sure that's the only code? Have you driven it at all since the light came on?

The icarsoft device works very well. It was my unfamiliarity with it that caused the problem. Once I figured out that I could pull the check engine codes in the OBD2 section I could see the errors. The error was from a show leak in the evap control system. I cleaned the grit off the gas cap and pipe, put it back on and cleared the code. Everything OK so far after a couple of test drives.
Thanks for the help.
