Anyone in Seattle area has the Durametric and I could use his or her help for reading code I have?

I just need to know what the code exactly is referring to instead of going to indy shop which they would charge for 1 hr diagnostic


Thanks in advance

If you want a cheap alternative to durametric harbor freight or amazon have some, they will still read codes and you can reset them also.

If the reader doesn't know what the code is you can just google it.

You can go to Oriellys and they will loan you a scanner to check your existing codes. If you have a code already tell me what it is and I can help. The Durametric has limited text explanations for the code references.
I have a Durametric but it is the Enthusiast version so I can only scan 3 different VIN numbers. The Pro model would let someone scan an unlimited number of VIN's.
If you are a DIY person we should probably meet up sometime. Here is a link to some code explanations.

I have generic obd2 reader that I used. Problem I was told that I don't trust it and use Durametric. Because obd2 wont decode manufacturer codes.
I don't have a check engine light but there is "gray" code when I use generic reader P1559. I was told only Durametric would tell you exactly what is the problem if any.

Yes I am a DIY person. What part of town are you in?

I traded my Durametric enthusiast model in for the Pro version for the increased functionality so if you are in the Seattle area and need access to a Durametric maybe I can help. It is the basic model with the newer OBDC connector and not the older round connector.
I retired in June and have more time for my hobbies now and would like to start meeting other people with similar interests. You can contact me at brokeassk16 at aol.com and please put Porsche in the Subject line or it could go to the spam folder.
