I have the following codes from my 2008 911 Carrera S. Clearing the codes has no effect. The codes immediately return after a reset. Very little info is available on the "C" codes. Does anyone have an answer?
I have no clue... but, sometimes clearing one clears others. 8037 I believe that is your license plate light. Fix that and see if others don't clear. Then I would reset the Stereo PCM system. There is a way to do it by pressing some buttons in an order or something or other.... if not, pull the fuse for 20 mnts or so. One of the common elements is PCM, or Porsche Communications Management aka stereo.
Start there and see if that clears a few. I am assuming your stereo has not been modified. If it has, then you know your answer.
Is the car running or just key on in the accessory position when you're clearing the codes. If accessory only, do you have the hazard lights on to keep the modules active? If it was not running, try it with the car running and see what you get.
Has anyone added a BT or aftermarket add on that's tied into the canbus network.
Durametric provides you descriptions of the error code... sometimes good, sometimes not good. There they stop. They are not in the business of diagnosis, just providing the owner data from the car with added descriptions. Durametric has not answered questions like this in the past. Good or bad, they pretty much stop and displaying what you see.
I’ve had the c152 code since I got the car used. No one seems to have a clue what’s causing it. Car has been checked over at numerous Indy shops as well as dealer. Most of them say to just ignore it.
Your light codes could be cause of using cheap led bulbs
Do you still have your PCM or have you replaced with an afermarket head unit?
No the owner previous to me installed a Pioneer radio and nav system. The "C" codes are associated with removing the stock Porsche radio. Although I didn't mention it in my original post I was also getting a check engine light that the Durametric would clear. I would come back though. I took it to a great private shop here in Vancouver/Portland and they found the problem. The sensor plug that attaches to the Mass Airflow sensor was damaged. Replaced it and now no more check engine light.
I'm just going to ignore the C141 and C152 codes. The car runs fine, and the codes do not affect its performance.
