Fault Memory

The number of faults, the fault texts and the Porsche Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) are displayed in the Fault Memory menu item. In order to obtain additional information about a fault, select the fault item (reverse-video display) and press the double arrow key (>>) or the F8 key.

The following additional information on the fault is then displayed:

• static or sporadic
• present or not present
• Check Engine warning light switched on or off
• fault type (e.g. above or below limit value).

  If several fault types occur (e.g. short to B+ or short to ground), then 1st state will display the fault type which was present first. The fault type which last occurred is stored under Last state.

• frequency (how often did the fault occur)
• fault erasing counter
• fault time
• which conditions must be fulfilled and how often, in order to switch the Check Engine warning light on or off
• 4 ambient conditions (e. g. ambient pressure, intake air temperature, engine temperature and operating hours counter)
• OBD fault code
• freeze frame data
• faulty entry by (e.g. on-board diagnosis or tester)
