Guys, Porsche has always used a unique diagnostic system protocol, which very few have only sporadically gotten thru. This is exactly why the almighty PIWIS system is useless on non-Porsche vehicles, just like the Durametric system. If you want to access and adequately diagnose one of these cars, you need a Porsche specific scan tool, it is the "price of admission" to working on these cars................so that means either jumping $20K for the first year for a PIWIS unit, or a couple hundred bucks for the Durametric system, there is no other way.
