Default PPI results help

Just got back ppi results and have a few fault codes and would really appreciate any help. The mechanic wasnt sure. Car is an 11 tts.

PTM (traction) c150 communication dme control unit (drive) and c202 fault prm control unit (display). The car did have the tpc dsc module but it was removed. Related?

POSIP/airbagg c150 communication dme control module and c152 communication pms control module

Acrive engine mount c150- mechanic thinks needs new mount.

Also, recent (last few hours) range 1-3 overrevs but not 4-6

Thanks a bunch for the help!! Not sure why phone app double posted.

Did he/she just have the battery replaced?

Try doing a handover reset and see what codes remain.

Regarding over revs, is the car tuned? Can't really over rev a PDK. Think maybe a tune with raised redline. No worries there.

The car is an '11.

Battery was changed 4-5 months ago at 30k service. Maybe related? Suprises though dealer wouldnt reset codes.

Yes car was tuned but now removed so maybe overevs were when tune was installed. Nothing to worry about correct even if recent? Only 1-2 and 3 revs in range 3.

No because you cannot misshift on a PDK car.

Would not be worried about the over revs

If the mechanic is not sure or doesn't know how to decode/read those error codes, I'd be concerned about the rest of the PPI. These cars are very expensive to fix when they are out of warranty.

Yes, gave me pause but he has 40 yrs experience as a Porsche indy. He thought maybe just clear codes and see what happens but not very reassuring! Car is having 2nd inspection at dealer and I will likely get an aftermarket warranty.

Agreed, those over revs are no concern. The codes should be cleared to see if they return.

I wouldn't buy a car throwing codes.
