I recently got my first PADM failure on my 2013 981S Cayman but aside from the dash warning, I'm not getting a fault code on my Durametric diagnostic cable. Can anyone advise whether a fault code should be present and how to determine which side has failed?

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.

To update this, Durametric's support team has confirmed their tool does not support the PADM module on 9X1 cars. This is the first time I've found it lacking. Apparently the iCarsoft POR V2 diagnostic tool does cover the PADM system.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
