These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

I still own my 2006 987.1CS with 31,000 miles. It has been stored for 7 years, and for the last couple months I’ve been working through bringing it back to life (fuel system, tires, etc). The one issue that I cannot resolve (yet) is the Sport Button. It doesn’t illuminate or affect the TPS ratio. The other buttons in the module all work. This car has all options available in 2006 , including ceramic brakes. My PIWIS III does not indicate a problem with Sport mode (I have NOT looked using developer mode). Does anyone know with certainty if simply having a dead TPMS air valve battery could be forcing the PSM to disable the Sport Mode? Sometimes it’s the simplest thing…

POST 2Original post

On my 06 Boxster S I had 2 dead sensors and my Sport button still works. Also when I got the car the TPMS was not active, nor was the Sport Chrono even though the "Sport" button worked as it engaged the PASM feature for my suspension. Anyway, long story short, the previous owner had an alternator/battery failure, and it seemed to have reset and turned those features off. I went in with my PIWIS II and reactivated both features, and they now work. I still need to deal with the 2 TPMS sensors, but it all works. So maybe check to see if it is activated. It may have been turned off. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

Hi Neil, Thanks for your response. From what you experienced, it sounds like a couple dead TPMS valve stem batteries won't disable the Sport Mode, and now that you've mentioned it, I now recall many years ago I had a few valve batteries die, and that did NOT affect my Sport Mode button's functionality. My skills with my PIWIS III are pretty weak, unfortunately. Did you need an "option code" from the dealer for your PIWIS to turn Sport back on? Maybe enter the VIN, or use Developer Mode? Any suggestions welcomed. I contacted the original dealer to get codes, may take a couple days.
